![]() General Tools: Delete, delete duplicates, join, merge, trim, untrim, split, explode, extend, fillet, chamfer, object properties, history. Rhino 8 adds dozens of refinements to existing tools and some new ones: Meshes: From NURBS surfaces, from closed polyline, mesh face, plane, box, cylinder, cone, and sphere. Solids: Box, sphere, cylinder, tube, pipe, cone, truncated cone, pyramid, truncated pyramid, ellipsoid, torus, extrude planar curve, extrude surface, cap planar holes, join surfaces, region, nonmanifold merge, TrueType text, Unicode (double-byte) text. ![]() Surfaces: From 3 or 4 points, from 3 or 4 curves, from planar curves, from network of curves, rectangle, deformable plane, extrude, ribbon, rule, loft with tangency matching, developable, sweep along a path with edge matching, sweep along two rail curves with edge continuity, revolve, rail revolve, tween, blend, patch, drape, point grid, heightfield, fillet, chamfer, offset, plane through points, TrueType text, Unicode (double-byte) text. Points: Points, point clouds, point grid, extract from objects, mark (intersection, divide, draftangle, ends, closest, foci).Ĭurves: Line, polyline, polyline on mesh, free-form curve, circle, arc, ellipse, rectangle, polygon, helix, spiral, conic, TrueType text, point interpolation, control points (vertices), sketch.Ĭurves from other objects: Through points, through polyline, extend, continue curve, fillet, chamfer, offset, blend, arc blend, from two views, tween, cross section profiles, intersection, contour on NURBS surface or mesh, section on NURBS surface or mesh, border, silhouette, extract isoparm, extract curvature graph, projection, pullback, sketch, wireframe, detach trim, 2D drawings with dimensions and text, flatten developable surfaces. Rhino 8 brings new modeling tools like ShrinkWrap, a huge speed boost for Mac users, simplified modeling workflows, SubD Creases, improved clipping and sectioning tools, a more customizable User Interface, a faster Render engine, new Grasshopper data types, and much more… Cross-Platform: The world’s most versatile 3D modeler, available on Windows and macOS.Development platform for hundreds of specialty 3D products.Fast, even on an ordinary laptop computer.So easy to learn and use that you can focus on design and visualization without being distracted by the software. Read and repair meshes and extremely challenging IGES files.Compatibility with all your other design, drafting, CAM, engineering, analysis, rendering, animation, and illustration software.Accuracy needed to design, prototype, engineer, analyze, and manufacture anything from an airplane to jewelry.Uninhibited free-form 3D modeling tools like those found only in products costing 20 to 50 times more.There are no limits on complexity, degree, or size beyond those of your hardware. Some of the tools in Plasticity are actually a bit better than in Rhino, like fillets, but so, so many features Rhino has are not available in Plasticity.Rhino can create, edit, analyze, document, render, animate, and translate NURBS curves, surfaces and solids, subdivision geometry (SubD), point clouds, and polygon meshes. I guess I’ll just have to use Plasticity, which I have, for now. If I knew it would be a year before V8 comes, I would just buy it now.Īnyone have any idea how likely it is that it will be released soon? Also, is it likely to have any new VSR feature replacement stuff, or improvements to tools like MatchSrf? If I knew it would be only a few months, I would wait. If V8 comes in two months, it will be like paying $200/month to have Rhino until then. Even with the slight discount on the upgrade when it is first released, it will still cost like $400, almost half the price of the software. I don’t want to buy right at the end of the release cycle and be immediately out of date, especially with an application that gets updated only once every three or so years. But if I wait, I won’t be able to use Rhino for maybe months. But it seems that V8 could be arriving any time now, maybe within the next few months. I am not making any money with it yet, and $1,000 is a lot for me. I’ve been learning/using it intensively during the trial and feel like I can’t live without Rhino and want to buy it.
