Archome AI — Rhino render script
================================

Turn any Rhino viewport into a photorealistic render without leaving Rhino.
The script captures your active viewport, sends it to the Archome AI rendering
engine and opens the finished image in your browser. No render setup, no
materials, no lighting — a few seconds instead of a few hours.

Modes: exterior · interior · sketch to render


REQUIREMENTS
------------
- Rhino 7 or Rhino 8 (Windows or macOS)
- An Archome AI API key — free to create at https://archome.ai
  (Sign in > Settings > API > Create key)
- An internet connection


INSTALL
-------
1. Unzip this download and put archome_ai.py somewhere permanent,
   for example your Rhino scripts folder.

2. In Rhino, run:      _RunPythonScript
   and pick archome_ai.py

That is all. To make it one click, create a command alias:

   Tools > Options > Aliases > New
   Alias:   Archome
   Command: ! _-RunPythonScript "C:\full\path\to\archome_ai.py"

Now typing "Archome" in the command line renders the current view. The same
string can be assigned to a toolbar button (right click a toolbar > New Button,
paste the command into the Left mouse button field).


FIRST RUN
---------
The script asks for your API key once and remembers it, so you only paste it
the first time. It is stored locally in your user folder (.archome_ai_rhino)
and is never written into your Rhino document.


HOW TO USE
----------
1. Set up the view you want rendered in the active viewport.
2. Run the script.
3. Type a style prompt, for example:
      modern villa, warm wood and stone, large windows, golden hour, photorealistic
4. Pick a mode.
5. Wait 30–60 seconds. The render opens in your browser and is also saved to
   your Archome AI account.

Tip: shaded or rendered display modes give the engine more to work with than
wireframe, but a clean line drawing works well with "sketch_to_render".


CREDITS AND PRICING
-------------------
Rendering uses credits from your Archome AI account. New accounts get free
credits so you can try the script before paying anything. Plans and one-off
credit packs are listed at https://archome.ai/pricing


PRIVACY
-------
The script sends only the captured viewport image and your text prompt. It does
not read, upload or modify your 3DM file or its geometry.
