Start with a sketch, drawing, physical model, or only an idea Rhino Version 3.0 provides the tools to accurately model your designs ready for rendering, animation, drafting, engineering, analysis, and manufacturing. 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 and point clouds. From the Introductory guide, to creating your own 3D characters, VTC author, Brian Hull, guides you through all levels of using Rhino. To begin learning today, simply click on one of the Rhino 3D lessons.
