Rhino 3D is arguably the most capable and worthy 3D modelling application at this price level. Complex and competent NURBS and polygonal modelling, advanced & sophisticated tools and a huge support and third party developer network make Rhino 3D a keystone for thousands upon thousands of product designers, engineers, industrial and transport designers, architects, artists and more worldwide.
Start with a sketch, drawing, physical model, scan data, or only an idea - Rhino provides the tools to accurately model and document your designs ready for rendering, animation, drafting, engineering, analysis, and manufacturing or construction.
Rhino can create, edit, analyse, document,render, animate, and translate NURBS curves, surfaces, and solids with no limits on complexity, degree, or size. Rhino also supports polygonmeshes and point clouds.
Rhino 7 licences work on both Windows and Mac platforms with some differences.
More information on Rhino 7 features coming soon.
Grasshopper is now a full-fledged part of Rhino. Grasshopper has become a robust development platform and provides the solid foundation for many incredible third-party components ranging from environmental analysis to robotic control.
New features and improvements:
Rhino has improved with the aim of helping you present your work. 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.
Quick Capture Your Idea
Snapshots allow you to save - and return to - states of the appearance your model.
Raytraced Viewport Mode
Fast, interactive raytracing in the viewport, accelerated on the GPU of modern CUDA and OpenCL graphics cards.
Improved Defaults All new models will have these updated defaults, and it’s easy to convert older models just by pressing the "Reset to Defaults" button on the Rendering Panel. |

Materially Better
It's now easier to create and assign materials, with a material library packed full of ready-to-use, real-world scale textures. The new material browser makes it much easier to work with and manage hundreds or thousands of materials and textures.
Per-face Material Assignment - this feature now eliminates the step of extracting faces just to change the material.
Everything in one place Set the resolution and visual quality of the rendering, lock the aspect ratio of the viewport, add a background, change the lighting and hit Render. |

Other features and improvements:
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.
Speed
GPU Tessellation moves as much of the surface, polysurface, and extrusion wire drawing as possible onto the graphics card, resulting in significant speed improvements on those cards that support it.
Improved Display Modes
New and improved viewport display modes produce stunning high-resolution output images at interactive frame-rates.
Realtime Rendering
Rhino now has a realtime ray-traced viewport mode as well as realtime previews with SSAO, Decals, Image-based lighting and screen and world based mapping.
Curves and Points
Curves are smoother and faster to draw and points are displayed in beautiful detail.
Modelling is just one part of the design process; you also need to show how to build what is on the screen. Documentation workflow has been refined, 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 has been completely rewritten to provide faster, better, cleaner, more customizable results.
Small quirks add up to painful paper cuts over the course of a prolonged modeling session. In Rhino, McNeel have fixed and consolidated disparate - but similar - features into single commands, making Rhino much more refined.
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 brings major improvements to our free SDKs, with API refinements, better documentation and more access to Rhino commands from Grasshopper.
