The Rhino Inside® technology allows Rhino and Grasshopper to be embedded within other products.

Sample 2: Pass mesh geometry to Unreal Engine

This sample builds upon sample 1 and shows how to pass geometry from Rhino to Unreal Engine.

Contents

The sample contains an Unreal Engine project which contains a directory named Managed. In here you will find the .sln, .csproj, and .cs files. There is one class which is loaded when the project is opened in Unreal Engine. Upon loading, the class manages to launch Rhino without UI and run some basic operations. The only .cs file is rhino.inside\Epic Games\UE\Sample-2\Managed\Sample2.Managed\Sample2Actor.cs. You can check the code here to see how Rhino is launched.

This class has been converted to a blueprint, in order to get access to the Procedural Mesh.
