We are excited to announce the official release of Rhinoceros version 8. The latest major release of this NURBS-based 3D modelling software contains many new features and enhancements!
New features
Rhino v8 offers users the following new features and improvements:
ShrinkWrap: Turn Garbage To Gold
ShrinkWrap creates a watertight mesh around open or closed meshes, NURBS geometry, SubD, and point clouds: ideal for creating meshes for 3D printing.
Built for Mac
Rhino for Mac is faster than ever, running natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and using the Apple Metal display technology. Rhino has also brought the User-Interface on Mac closer to its Windows sibling…
SubD Creases
SubD Creases create a feature between a smooth and a sharp edge, without adding complexity to the SubD control net, great for making fillet-like features.
Modelling: Simplified with e.g. PushPull
Rhino 8 unlocks new modelling workflows — like PushPull — and adds intuitive new features to the Gumball, Automatic CPlanes, and more…
Clipping and Sectioning
Rhino 8 introduces several clipping and sectioning enhancements to help support various drafting and fabrication workflows…
Presentation
In Rhino 8, they’ve updated the Cycles Render engine, smoothed out the UV Workflow, improved our procedural textures, added a display mode, and more…
Grasshopper: Rhino Data Types
Rhino Data Types allow you to bake geometry with custom attributes, import more file formats, control blocks, use native materials in the display pipeline, create hatches and annotations, and many other expanded workflows…
Rhino Refined
The developer has fixed hundreds of bugs, but they’ve also added new Linetypes, improved Mesh Booleans, enhanced our surface editing tools, and more…
Development Platform
Rhino 8 brings a new code editor, support for CPython and .NET 7, major improvements to their free SDKs, API refinements, and some major new features that broaden and deepen the foundations of the geometry development platform…
And more…
