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.

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:

Flamingo brings the raytrace and radiosity rendering to Rhino . This plug-in includes:

Rendering
Photometrically accurate images with reflections, refraction, diffusion, translucency, transparency, color bleeding, shadows, depth of field, depth attenuation, ClearFinish ™, and indirect lighting.

Animation
Viewpoint animation for walk-throughs and fly-bys, and sunlight animation for shadow studies.

Other features
Procedural clouds, fractal-generated 3-D plants, procedural 2-D and 3-D materials, progressive-refinement for quick preview, and extensive material, plant, and background libraries.

Penguin brings freehand sketching, watercolor painting and cartoon-like rendering to Rhino and AutoCAD.

Penguin is a conceptual, sketch and cartoon, non-photometric scan line renderer. With Penguin you can create stylized images of your models with an artistic look for enhanced graphic and visual appeal.

Bongo™ brings professional animation into Rhino 3.0 , using familiar keyframe tools found in most high-end animation packages.

Professional animation tools
Animate moving, scaling, and rotating Rhino objects without exporting. Objects and viewport animations are editable in the Rhino window using simple drag and drop. Modify your objects and motion data without losing valuable time changing between programs.

Bongo is also great for demonstrating moving objects using real-time playback in the Rhino viewports - just drag the timeline around to show a client how your design works.

Easily preview your animations inside Rhino, in real time, in any shading mode by scrubbing the timeline or playing the animation. Then render straight to an animation file using any Rhino renderer including wireframe, openGL, render preview, render, TreeFrog, Flamingo, and Penguin.

*NURBS, Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines, are mathematical representations of 3-D geometry that can accurately describe any shape from a simple 2-D line, circle, arc, or curve to the most complex 3-D organic free-form surface or solid. Because of their flexibility and accuracy, NURBS models can be used in any process from illustration and animation to manufacturing.
