Rhinoceros Reviews & Product Details - Page 10

Rhinoceros has a huge amount of tools to create unique shapes.

It has a nice interface so that if you are familiar with other softwares like Autocad or 3ds MAX, you won't have issues in using it.

It can be improved with nice add-ons, like Grasshopper or Visualarq.

It is really eay to be learned and it can be used in many fields like automotive design, architecture, industrial design, 3d printing.

It is also simple to use cnc machines connected with it like cnc milling machines to create prototypes

It has no fancy functions and it is extremelty fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has no parametric modifier tools and if you don't like the result of the shape you have created it is necessary to repeat the entire process instead of easily modifing elements on the surface ...

rendering capabilities are very poor so you really need another software to render rhino files .. so it must be bought and learned another software ....

Exported files are in general huge and heavy to be managed from other softwares

I really like the freedom of modeling anything what you like, if you want something accurate you can, if you want something impossible you can too Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well probably the mesh relation with Nurbs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Rhinoceros for many different reasons, one of them is that this software gives the user the freedom to create and design using its precise tools and four different view angles at the same time. Together with that, Rhinoceros allows the user to customize its layout, making it easier to adjust the software to your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes time to learn all of its features and to be able to use it to its full capacity, in other words, its learning curve is really steep. Also, Rhinoceros pricing is not very friendly, it is quite expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the best features that the program has is that it allows the user to write commands in a toolbar. This speeds up the whole modelling process. Also, the fact that the program shows the user four different views at the same time is game changer, it helps a ton. Finally, it's straightforward and clear design creates a good atmosphere to let the user's creativity flow into the modelling and designing process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My main issue with Rhinoceros is that it can be a bit inaccurate and imprecise. Especially when using the technical drafting feature. Also some tools can fail from time to time and not work properly, and i these cases the user needs to save the project and reopen the program, which can be quite annoying.

I love how the commands are simple to learn and easy to find. For example, if you want to draw a curve, the command is curve. There is barely any lag when I use it even if I have a large amount of information. I found it to be the most efficient in drawing 3D object easily and quickly. Commands are very responsive and directions below are very clear to understand. Layering function is also very easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The rendering in the program could use some work but that also might just be my skill level as I do not use it for rendering very often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It´s the better software when you want to design in a freelly way, this is an excellent option to rendering plugins.the edition of materials it´s as well the best in the market , you don´t need to do so much , and reading the manual you can learn super easy. the freely tools of modeling its as well super easy to understand, and if you want to do surfaces and solids you can do it fast an easy, the only problem that i had its the import tool , its not easy as a I wantet to be, there will be a better solution for tis and maybe in the future this could be solved.

Maybe the interface would be more easy , and a better form to learn without the necesity of courses .And the useas of cameras , it not easy to manage , and maybe the opton to renderin in isometric, only one object , not all the scene. The importation tool it´s not perfect, in some cases you can´t importe the models completely , and in some cases some parts of the model you can´t see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Rhinocerous.. have been using it since version 3..... it's my go to software for architectural 3D models. I love that even though its not an autodesk product its pretty tightly integrated with ACAD... in terms of both import/export ability as well as the similarity in the tools / inputs. Commands are usually very intuitive... if i want to copy something i type copy .. wow! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As with all programs without the right hardware it will crash (luckily autosave is pretty up to par), sometimes i wish it could better handle my mistakes though. The learning curve for more complex tasks is steep.. although there is quite a community out there to help you with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The giant amount of commands for designing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike at all. This program has it all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides a wide range of tools and commands for me to build lines, surfaces and solids. There are tons of different methods to create the same geometry in Rhino, each method comes with its own advantages. You can easily and very quickly build surfaces and they will be suitable for industrial production.

Besides using it for product design and architectural design, I also use it for graphic design. It has great capabilities for creating, transforming, distorting and arraying 2D shapes for vector graphics, which are sometimes non-existent in software like Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator. It can import export many filetypes suitable for graphic design.

Its help file is more than enough to teach you from scratch. It works very similar to Autocad, so if you learned Autocad somewhere, everthing gets even easier to get started. Plus there are lots of tutorials all around the web.

Rhinoceros has a very expansive resource hub, where you can find a wide range of learning materials, plug-ins and events. I especially love it for the variety and large amount of plug-ins.

Rhino is also very light in terms of disk space and processing power it requires, when you compare it to other NURBS software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although you can create very high quality surfaces and objects, it needs to get better at Class-A surfacing. If you are looking for a control level similar to Alias Surface or ICEM Surf, you need to get a plug-in for it, which diminishes its cost advantage. Even then, you will not be able to achieve a detailed technical control like ICEM or Alias.

You cannot control number of spans and control points while building a surface or a fillet surface. You cannot produce chordal fillets (Well, you can work around it; but it requires too many steps and takes a lot time compared to its bigger rivals).

When you want to play with Control Points of a surface, can use many translate commands but you cannot bulge them along surface normals or slide them (Well, again, you can work around it; but it requires a lot of work and time).

But these are apparent only if you aim a fast Class-A work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The logic we use to do modelling in Rhino is very interesting. It is some kind of doing sculpture where you cut and join different piece of work together. It is quite similar with autocad in the sense of manipulating 3d model on 2d sense of thinking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Rhinoceros crashes without backup file and causes a lot of trouble for people who don't have the habit of saving every short period of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
