Rhino 4 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.

Rhino 4.0 is the most significant upgrade in the history of Rhino, with hundreds of new features and enhancements.

Whats New:

• Modeling enhancement including robust variable blend tools, improved Booleans, and G-infinity blending.
• Editing Tools including UDT for free-form deformation of all geometry types, feature recognition for direct polysurface and solids editing and command history for editing surfaces by changing their input curves.
• Interface enhancements including SmartTrack technology and live help with video clips.
• Display pipeline takes advantage of the latest graphic card technology to provide a major speed improvement, new advanced display modes, new analysis tools, dual-screen support, and support for new third-party applications.
• Rendering and Animation enhancements including new basic rendering technology, upgraded Flamingo and Penguin, Brazil r/s available, and new third-party renderers including V-Ray and Maxwell. Also included are texture mapping tools that can be used by all Rhino plug-in renderers.
• 2-D Drawing / Drafting Tools including line styles, line weights, hidden lines, dimensions, hatching, page layout and printing/plotting.
• Mesh Modeling, editing, analysis, repair, and rapid prototyping. Major enhancements in mesh creation and editing. Also many new tools for STL repair and 3-D printing.
• Analysis with new tools for both measurement and display. Also enhanced tools detecting problems and evaluating model quality so the problems downstream can be avoided.
• Large projects support with hierarchical layer management, file locking, and enhanced support for worksessions, blocks, and reference files.
• Compatibility enhancements including improved PDF, AI 8+, STEP, DWG/DXF, PLY, DGN, FBX, SolidWorks, Google Earth, SketchUP, and WAMIT support.
• Software Developer tools for users and third-party developers.

Hardware Requirements:

• Pentium, Celeron or Higher processor.
• 200 MB Disk Space.
• 512MB RAM, 1GB or higher recommended.
• OpenGL Display Card recommended.
• IntelliMouse recommended.
• 3-D Digitizer optional
• 3-D Printer optional

Operating System:

• Rhino 4.0 runs ONLY on Windows 2000, XP Pro, XP Home, and Vista* including an iMac with BootCamp or Parallels. *Rhino can run on Vista but currently not recommand because the lack of OpenGL. We plan to support DirectX on Vista in a future 4.0 service release.
• Rhino 4.0 will not run on Windows NT, 95, 98, or ME.
• Native Windows x64 is not supported and will not be until the required development tools and libraries are available. There will be a free service release available as soon as possible after 4.0 ships. Rhino 4.0 does run as a 32-bit application on Windows x64.
• Rhino 4.0 does not run natively on the Mac OSX, Linux, or any other operating system not listed above.
