Cyberstrak Modeling - New Plugin for Rhino 7/8:

Cyberstrak Modeling is a new plugin for Rhinoceros. 

It contains functionality for the creation and modification of NURBS geometry and meshes like:

• Modeling of NURBS control vertices
• Smoothing of Curves, Surfaces, and Mesh areas
• Surface blend creation
• Creation of Nurbs surfaces on selected Mesh areas

Focus is easy and intuitive usability. So, all modeling commands offer a local Undo/Redo, allowing easy comparison of different work stages.

There is also integrated analysis functionality that helps judge the current geometry's quality. In addition, analysis commands are available like:

• Sections through geometry
• Curvature analysis of Curves and Surfaces
• Graphical deviation between objects (e.g., deviation display between surface to a mesh)
• Analysis of transition quality between matched curves or surfaces

The analyses are following associatively all geometry modifications and will be dynamically updated during the modeling process.

Video tutorial about PushPull (new in Rhino 8)

PushPull - new in Rhino 8

Charles Panke from Filou created a video tutorial (in German) to explain the new Rhino 8 feature PushPull.

It allows you to extrude a polysurface face while interactively adding or removing volumes. PushPull also simplifies the process of splitting or extruding a face and allows for the selection and unification of multiple regions.

In this video for German speakers you will learn how to:

• Apply PushPull on solids
• Create and use regions
• Push and pull double-bent surfaces

New Rhino book: "Modelação Clássica e por Subdivisão em Rhinoceros 7"

João Monteiro has published a new book (in Portuguese): Modelação Clássica e por Subdivisão em Rhinoceros 7.

809 pages with the basics, classic NURBS modeling, and a second part dedicated to the new SubD tools.

While the book focuses on 3D modeling of objects, it also includes an introduction on obtaining photorealistic images from them using the available tools in Rhinoceros, as well as importing and modifying models created in other CAD programs. Most of the proposed exercises are based on reference images, on which the models are built, being available to download through a link presented in the text. The book was written based on the Windows version of Rhinoceros, but Mac users can also use it.
