Chrome/Stainless steel material through Custom Preview in Grasshopper?

Or is it possible to access lets say Flamingo's material settings through GH?

Would be nice if I could preview GH objects as if they were rendered.

Thanks

Hi Theunis,

if you have the RDK installed then you can pick textured materials via the OpenGL preview shader.

I must have missed something big, I have seen the acronym thrown around and have been meaning to ask, what is RDK and how do I install it?

RDK = Renderer Development Kit It's our platform for Render plugins.
