Rhinoceros
Start with a sketch, drawing, physical
model, or only an idea—Rhino provides the tools to accurately model your
designs ready for rendering, animation, drafting, engineering, analysis,
and manufacturing.
Features
Rhino can create, edit, analyze, and translate NURBS* curves, surfaces,
and solids in Windows. There are no limits on complexity, degree, or size.
Rhino also supports polygon meshes. Special features include:
Uninhibited free-form 3-D 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 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.
Affordable. Ordinary hardware. Short learning. Priced like other Windows
software. No maintenance fees.
