Now I can see my cat in grasshopper in full color: http://grasshopper3d.googlegroups.com/web/bansancolor.jpg Better to wait for texture support, this method is not very efficient :P This is probably the best release feature-wise since the scripting component. Even the brazil advanced material displays just as in rhino.
I see that if you right click on the material parameter you get some more features that are more common on a ray tracer, like IOR and reflectivity. Seems like the only inputs are the ones that affect directly the opengl rasterizer. In my opinion, the aim should be to create materials for the raytracer not the viewport, and internally try to make it as similar as possible in opengl for display purposes (my opinion). Is there any chance the meshes produced by grasshopper get included when you click the render button? I guess that will require a lot of hacking. frankS: I think you can toggle isocurves, edges, etc by using rhino's custom displays. In my case they almost all obey my display settings.
