McNeel Rhinoceros NURBS modeling for Windows

To be an effective designer today, you need tools to quickly develop your designs and accurately communicate them to everyone in the product research, development, marketing, and manufacturing or construction process. 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, analyze, document, render, animate, and translate NURBS curves, surfaces, and solids with no limits on complexity, degree, or size. Rhino also supports polygon meshes and point clouds.

Rhino offers

• Uninhibited free-form 3-D modeling. Tools like those found only in products costing 20 to 50 times more. Accurately model any shape you can imagine.
• Extreme precision. Design, prototype, engineer, analyze, document, and manufacture anything of any size no matter how small or how large.
• Unrestricted editing. Revise freely without concern about how you got there or where you want to go next.
• 2-D drafting, annotation, and illustration. In addition, flatten 3-D surfaces into 2-D patterns and drive laser, plasma, and water jet cutters.
• Large project organization. Work with both large models and large teams.
• Compatibility. Exchange files with your other design, drafting, CAM, engineering, analysis, rendering, animation, and illustration software.
• File read and repair. Fix extremely challenging IGES and mesh files.
• Direct connection. Support for wide variety of 3-D digitizing arms, 3-D scanners, and 3-D printers.
• Customization. Easy-to-use tools let both you and software developers make Rhino fit your special needs.
• Short learning curve. Focus on design and visualization without being distracted by the software.
• Speed. Even on an ordinary laptop computer Rhino is fast. No special hardware is required.
• Affordability. Ordinary hardware. Short learning curve. Priced like other Windows software. No maintenance fees. Worldwide support is included.

Flamingo

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

Penguin brings freehand sketching, watercolor painting, cartoon-like rendering and technical illustration 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

Bongo™ brings professional animation into Rhino 3.0 or 4.0, using familiar keyframe tools found in most high-end animation packages. 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.

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. 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.

Rhino 4.0 Bundle sisältää Rhino, Flamingo, Penguin, Bongo -ohjelmistot.
