In some conditions, display speed can be up to 300% faster. This results in fewer GPU-specific display glitches and more consistent, beautiful, and frequent frames, even with large models. Rhino's new display pipeline is faster, more stable, and uses features found on modern graphics hardware, like GPU sensitive shaders and memory optimizations. We've improved Rhino with the aim of helping you present your work: be it "quick and dirty" or "high-res glossy." With major changes to Rendering, Materials, or just plain capturing the viewport, it's now easier and faster to present, discuss, make decisions, and iterate.
Presentation is key: during nearly every phase of design, you need to communicate, getting "buy-in" from clients, customers, collaborators, or the public at large. Grasshopper provides the solid foundation for many incredible third-party components ranging from environmental analysis to robotic control. Used in some of the most ambitious design projects of the past decade, Grasshopper, like Rhino, has become a robust development platform. The long beta period is over: Grasshopper, the world's most beautiful programming language, is now a full-fledged part of Rhino.
We've also rewritten some features and renovated workflows that needed fundamental overhauls to make them truly productive. In Rhino 6 for Windows, we've fully embraced Grasshopper - the wildly popular visual programming language - by "baking it in." Grasshopper is no longer beta it's a stable development environment. + 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. Rhino 6 can create, edit, analyze, document, render, animate, and translate NURBS curves, surfaces, and solids, point clouds, and polygon meshes.
