Rhino 8 Commercial Upgrade

Rhino 8 brings new modeling tools like ShrinkWrap, powerful speed boosts for Mac users, SubD sharp edges, a PushPull workflow, better drafting tools, a more customizable user interface, a faster rendering engine, new Grasshopper data types, and many more features.

 



New Features in Rhino 8:


ShrinkWrap: Turning Trash into Gold
ShrinkWrap creates a tight mesh around open or closed meshes, NURBS geometry, SubD, and point clouds: perfect for creating meshes for 3D printing.

 

ShrinkWrap 
ShrinkWrap is perfect for creating:

• Meshes for 3D printing
• Enclosing multiple objects into a single solid mesh
• Merging missing parts of 3D scan data into a single solid mesh
• Meshes without internal self-intersections
• Offset meshes for thin shells
• Meshes from point clouds for reverse engineering
• Enclosing damaged or difficult-to-repair geometry into a mesh

 



Built for Mac
Rhino for Mac is faster than ever, running natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, utilizing Apple Metal display technology, and the Mac user interface is closer to Windows.

 



SubD Sharp Edges
SubD sharp edges can create a gradual fillet between smooth and sharp edges without increasing the complexity of the SubD mesh.



 

Modeling: More Streamlined
Rhino 8 unlocks new modeling workflows (such as PushPull) and adds more intuitive new features for Gumball, automatic workplanes, and more.



 

Clipping and Sections
Rhino 8 includes many enhancements to clipping and sections to help support various drafting and manufacturing workflows.



 

Rendering
In Rhino 8, we updated the Cycles render engine, made the UV workflow smoother, improved procedural textures, added display modes, 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 section hatches and annotations, and many other expanded workflows.



 

Rhino Refined
We fixed hundreds of bugs, added new linetypes, improved mesh Booleans, enhanced surface editing tools, and more.



 

Development Platform
Rhino 8 brings a new code editor, support for CPython and .NET 7, significant improvements to free SDKs, fine-tuned API enhancements, and several major new features that expand and deepen the geometric development platform's foundation.
