Rhino can create, edit, analyze, document, render, animate, and translate NURBS* curves, surfaces, and solids, point clouds, and polygon meshes. There are no limits on complexity, degree, or size beyond those of your hardware.
Special features include:
Old Grasshopper for Rhino 4.0 (Windows only) It is possible to download the last release that still worked on Rhino 4. We keep the installer available for download but obviously this release is no longer under active development.
How To Use Grasshopper Rhino
- Uninhibited free-form 3D modeling tools like those found only in products costing 20 to 50 times more. Model any shape you can imagine.
- Accuracy needed to design, prototype, engineer, analyze, and manufacture anything from an airplane to jewelry.
- Compatibility with all your other design, drafting, CAM, engineering, analysis, rendering, animation, and illustration software.
- Read and repair meshes and extremely challenging IGES files.
- Accessible. So easy to learn and use that you can focus on design and visualization without being distracted by the software.
- Fast, even on an ordinary laptop computer. No special hardware is needed.
- Development platform for hundreds of specialty 3D products.
- Affordable. Ordinary hardware. Short learning curve. Affordable purchase price. No maintenance fees.
New in Rhino 6- Nov 20, 2019.
- PanelingTools plugin by Robert McNeel & Associates is closely integrated with Rhino and Grasshopper, and is widely used by designers, architects, and building prefessionals. It supports intuitive design of paneling concepts as well as help rationalize complex geometry into a.
In Rhino 6 for Windows, we've fully embraced Grasshopper - the wildly popular visual programming language - by 'baking it in.' Grasshopper is no longer beta; it's a stable development environment. We've also rewritten some features and renovated workflows that needed fundamental overhauls to make them truly productive. These are the highlights...
Grasshopper For Rhino 3d
- Grasshopper: The long beta period is over: Grasshopper, the world's most beautiful programming language, is now a full-fledged part of Rhino. Used in some of the most ambitious design projects of the past decade, Grasshopper, like Rhino, has become a robust development platform. Grasshopper provides the solid foundation for many incredible third-party components ranging from environmental analysis to robotic control.
- Presentation: Presentation is key: during nearly every phase of design, you need to communicate, getting 'buy-in' from clients, customers, collaborators, or the public at large. We've improved Rhino with the aim of helping you present your work: be it 'quick and dirty' or 'high-res glossy.' With major changes to Rendering, Materials, or just plain capturing the viewport, it's now easier and faster to present, discuss, make decisions, and iterate.
- Display: Rhino's new display pipeline is faster, more stable, and uses features found on modern graphics hardware, like GPU sensitive shaders and memory optimizations. This results in fewer GPU-specific display glitches and more consistent, beautiful, and frequent frames, even with large models. In some conditions, display speed can be up to 300% faster.
- Documentation: Modeling is just one part of the design process; you also need to show how to build what is on the screen. We've refined many parts of the documentation workflow, from a completely reworked annotation-style interface, to better DWG support, and RichText throughout. It's now easier to convey accurately and clearly the what and the how of your design.
- Make2D: Make2D has been completely rewritten to provide faster, better, cleaner, more customizable results.
- Rhino Refinements: Small quirks add up to painful paper cuts over the course of a prolonged modeling session. In Rhino 6, we've fixed hundreds of minor bugs and consolidated disparate - but similar - features into single commands, making Rhino much more refined.
- Development Platform: Rhino is more than just a modeler. With a rich ecosystem of plugins and an open set of development tools, Rhino is quickly becoming the development platform for those seeking to push the envelope of design. Rhino 6 brings major improvements to our free SDKs, with API refinements, better documentation, and more access to Rhino commands from Grasshopper.
McNeel has announced that the popular 3D modeling and design application, Rhino 6 for Mac, is now available for testing.
The Seattle-headquartered software company said that the WIP (work in progress) is recommended just for testing and not for production or mission-critical work.
Rhino 6 for Mac with Integrated Grasshopper
As Architosh has written in the past, the big news about Rhino 6 was the integration of Grasshopper, the industry’s leading algorithmic-aided design (AAD) or node-based visual programming tool. Tools like Grasshopper—sometimes referred to as accessible programming for designers (APFD)—enable architects and designers to develop generative algorithms for building both 2D and 3D computer models and designs. Such tools have been in vogue for well over a decade and a half by key marquee design firms (eg: Zaha Hadid Architects) and architecture students worldwide.
01 – Rhino 6 for Mac WIP is available for download, use, and testing. It includes integrated Grasshopper.
Rhino 6 for Mac includes Grasshopper with multithreaded components, VB support, and more. It features a faster display using modern graphics hardware support, an updated Materials and Rendering system.
There is also a Raytraced viewport display mode, a faster and cleaner Make2D with more customizable results, and most of the new features and enhancements found in the already released Rhino 6 for Windows.
Availability
Rhino 6 for Mac WIP is available for those who have a license of Rhino 5 for Mac. Users must first critically update their version of Rhino 5 for Mac to the latest version prior to installing Rhino 6 for Mac WIP.
The solution also requires macOS High Sierra or later. Users can report any problems on the Serengeti Mac forum.
