What is Penguin?

Penguin enhances the capabilities of Rhino and AutoCAD by adding features such as freehand sketching, watercolor effects, cartoon-style illustrations, and technical drawings. Acting as a non-photometric scan line renderer, Penguin enables users to create stylized versions of their models, imbuing them with an artistic quality that elevates their graphic and visual appeal. The updated version, Penguin 2.0, integrates smoothly with Rhino and retains the same hardware specifications as the earlier version. Both Rhino and Penguin function well on standard Windows desktop and laptop computers, meaning that users do not need any specialized hardware beyond what is required for AutoCAD. Fully embedded within Rhino, Penguin 2.0 provides access to its configuration options via the standard Rhino dialog interface, which can be accessed through either the properties panel or object properties. The dockable object properties panel is engineered to refresh dynamically as commands are executed or selections are modified, promoting a seamless workflow. Additionally, Penguin 2.0 supports all native Rhino objects, including 2D components like dimensions and curves, allowing users to tailor specific settings for these elements in the same manner as any other model part. This extensive functionality not only expands the creative horizons for design projects but also significantly enhances the user experience, making artistic rendering an easily achievable goal. As a result, designers can explore new artistic avenues while maintaining the efficiency of their workflow.
