Rhino 6 offers much more functionality for making 2D drawings. This makes it less necessary to use a render plugin like Flamingo or V-Ray.
As a surface in Rhino often doesn’t have a thickness, it is now very easy to add thickness to the render mesh.
For example, it would take a lot of time and effort to model the planks of the lapstrake hull of a Viking ship. Stupid repetitive work can also be automated.See for example our free script for generating ship hulls or the script for a design of a bridge. Design concepts that are flexilbe parameterized for design studies.This makes programming with Grasshopper so easy for people who are visually oriented like many designers.
Grasshopper makes it possible to script Rhino commands without the need for programming by typing code in for eaxmple Python. At RhinoCentre we work with Grasshopper since 2008. Visual scripting with Grasshopper is now fully integrated in Rhino 6 and makes Rhino much more intelligent. Due to our extensive contact with clients we also have a clear vision where clients can make big improvements in using Rhino in their workflow. Our reasons for a Rhino 6 UpgradeĪs we work extensively with Rhino at RhinoCentre in projects for our clients, we have a clear idea where Rhino excels and where it is still disappointing. Especially with huge 3D files and processing large AutoCAD drawings like general arrangement plans in the maritime industry. At RhinoCentre we work now for more than a year with Rhino 6 because it is much faster than Rhino 5. They want to make sure that a new Rhino is stable and a big improvement. This also explains why it took McNeel more than five years to deliver an upgrade. Rhino 6.0 is the result of an open development with Rhino 5 users and therefore totally stable.
This is the cheapest solution as you don’t need to buy an upgrade to Rhino 6 at a later time.
Rhino 6 will then be the same for both Mac and Windows operating systems.
