Users can have custom commands and menus for more convenient modeling. The software possesses a modular architecture and open SDK so that anyone can tweak its settings. 3D designers at any skill levels, whether students, professional or even enthusiasts, can make their own 3D objects with ease. Anyone can make virtual elements such as NURBS curves, solid objects, and 3D surfaces. A complete tutorial set and resources are handed for everybody, packed with jaw-dropping creations crafted by the community of Rhino users.

It is also built to be utilized easily in mind. Users are given a free-form surface modeler environment to create their projects. This is ideal for aeronautical or ship designs that require very streamlined bodies. Common Computer-Aided Design software use polygon mesh models for making 3D renders. This geometry model focuses more on the accurate representation of mathematically-precise curves, as well as freeform surfaces. The software features the Non-uniform Rational B-spline or NURBS mathematical model. It can render designs for architectures and vehicles. Quadmesh allows for better results when rendering, producing animations, and can be useful for when undertaking CFD and FEA analysis on a part.Rhino is ideal for tasks that involve making professional industrial designs. This links nicely with the other new feature in Rhino 7, Quadmesh, which allows the user to create a quad mesh from existing surfaces, solids, meshes, or the new Sub-Ds. Rhino states that unlike traditionally Sub-D objects, which are mesh-based and lend themselves well to more approximate types of modelling Sub-D objects in Rhino 7 are ‘high precision’ spline-based surfaces that bring a new level of accuracy to the process of creating complex freeform shapes.Īs ever, there’s lots of information and tutorials already available from the Rhino community, with some excellent video content summarised here.

New Sub-D modelling tools are the big news, primed for users new and old to create freeform organic shapes with quick editing ability. Rhino 7 has launched with its typical McNeel whisper campaign, although the brand has been quick to announce that the latest version is its ‘most significant upgrade’ in its history, over 2018’s Rhino 6.
