Field notes
The workflow separates designed surface relief from the source model and exports the relief as a distinct mesh for printing. The page also describes output for web and game-engine real-time 3D. Proposed licenses are one-time purchases tied to Rhino 9, with an optional paid upgrade for Rhino 10; the displayed prices are explicitly provisional, and final tax treatment and purchase terms are still to be confirmed.
