Auxpecker
by xericcardo
Auxpecker is an easy and free solution to get a pleasing realtime preview of objects directly on the viewport of Rhino3D v4.0. It is simply based on the use of environment maps; making viewport objects reflect in ways that reproduce / approximate the look of various materials. This technique is not meant as a preview for rendering in association with any render engine. It is a stand-alone method for communicating very pleasantly, in realtime, projects to your client.
How to install Auxpecker plug-in?
- Install the Auxpecker folder in the rhino 4.0 plugin directory. Run rhino and go to Tools/Options and Plug-ins. Click on the install button and load Auxpecker.rhp.
- In Rhino, go to Tools/Toolbar Layout. Click on file and open Auxpecker.tb. Make the main toolbar active.

Gentile Riccardo.
Ho provato ad installare Auxpecker su Rhino 5 64bit. L'installazione del programma è andata a buon fine, tuttavia non riesco ad aggiungervi i materiali. Compare una mascherina di caricamento che non scompare più.
Spero tu possa essermi d'aiuto. Saluti.
Ciao
Il tempo di importazione è abbastanza lungo deve importare circa 130 mega ,ma controllo il codice sorgente di auxpecker per vedere che non ci siano errori.
Eventualmente cambia l'estensione in .zip e scomparta la cartella poi metti la dentro materialrt
Ciao

Hi Xericcardo. I enjoy your plugin very much: for fast feedback during 3D modeling and for prerendering and documentation of the designprocess. The only thing I am really missing out is the ability to support transparent background (Alpha Channel) while saving to a PNG/TIF-file. Rhinoceros supports this in RhinoRender, - but Auxpecker does NOT.
I'm teaching Rhinoceros, T-Splines and CNC-milling at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design in Denmark. Kind Regards Tim/Erazmataz
What is your recommended way to make new material maps for
auxpecker?
Currently there are no new maps
Hi, this is a good plu-in , i like it to express my pre-render.
but i want to get more maps so that i can show my pictures better.
So how can I get more maps ?
Hi! It looks like a very cool plugin.
hovewer, it do not work on my and some other ccomputers. Can it be couse of rhinocommon in new versions?
A propas, is there any chance to connect it to grasshopper?
Salve
Grazie
Auxpecker non verrà più sviluppato al suo posto verrà proposto Spirit una versione con molte nuove funzioni e oltre 800 mappe
Ciao Riccardo
I think this is a great little plug-in. And it's free for us to enjoy!
You can also use the material pictures from Auxpecker directly in your own custom shading mode. I use this both when surface modeling and giving Rhino courses. It gives a crisp look and makes shapes easy to read in poorly lit conditions (when using a projector for instance).
mi fa molto piacere sarebbe bello vedere qualche immagine
Ciao Riccardo
