Unleashing Rhino's Power Anywhere, Anytime! Rhino Anywhere revolutionizes Rhino by enabling users to stream a Rhino Instance to the cloud, facilitating complex computations and customized interfaces. 

A team of 10 AEC tech professionals developed Rhino Anywhere over 25+ hours during the AEC Tech Hackathon at Thornton Tomasetti’s Offices in New York. Drawing inspiration from pixel streaming technology, the objective was to make Rhino accessible to diverse audiences by designing unique interfaces. 

Through Rhino Anywhere, Rhino’s interface can be customized and streamed over an internet connection while maintaining Rhino’s processing power. Imagine large, colorful buttons for children to engage with 3D design, inspiring creativity and learning. Further, the tool allows for custom interfaces catering to individuals with limited hand or arm articulation, fostering inclusivity. Overcoming challenges, the team exemplified the potential to reshape design tools, emphasizing adaptability, creativity, and accessibility in the 3D world.

Rhino Anywhere expands the use cases for Rhino by not only highlighting it as an excellent modeling and CAD tool but also enabling public and client-facing tailored applications to suit unique needs.

Rhino 8 – ShrinkWrap by SimplyRhino UK

 What is ShrinkWrap in Rhino 8?

Simply Rhino UK has created a Rhino 8 video looking at ShrinkWrap.

The new command can create a watertight mesh from surfaces, solids, meshes, SubDs, or any combination of these, whether open or closed. If you have point cloud data, ShrinkWrap can create meshes directly from that, too.

What is ShrinkWrap ideal for?

ShrinkWrap is the tool you could reach for within Rhino 8 to create:

• Meshes for 3D printing
• A solid union mesh from multiple objects
• A solid mesh from 3D scan data fragments
• Meshes without internal self-intersections
• Offset meshes for shelling
• Meshes from point clouds when reverse engineering
• Valid closed meshes from broken or often hard-to-repair geometry

ShrinkWrap video tutorial

In the video, there is an overview of the command basics. Then, we are taken for a deeper look using specific examples from two real-life projects.

Tutorials from Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation

The Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) now has a series of self-guided course modules, providing an introduction to the fundamentals of computation and spatial design for students entering the GSAPP Computational Design Practices program at Columbia. 

The series of online courses, the Smorgasboard, includes an intro to Rhino, an intro to Grasshopper, Computational Design in Grasshopper, and Python in Rhino / Grasshopper.

The Smorgasbord tutorials complement a series of CDP foundation classes, which will include discussions, reading, feedback, and more tutorials. These tutorials are selected to provide a particular computational grounding to facilitate discussion, exploration, and creation of projects at the intersection of design, computation, and the built environment.

While the Smorgasboard is designed as the pre-program curriculum for the GSAPP Masters of Science in Computational Design Practices, it also welcomes any student interested in Computational Design across all programs at GSAPP.

VisualARQ Inside.Revit video

The Rhino.Inside.Revit technology allows you to run Rhino and VisualARQ inside Revit. Using Grasshopper as a bridge, the Rhino geometry and VisualARQ objects can travel back and forth from Rhino to Revit.

The VisualARQ.Inside Revit workflow offers a simple way to make this conversion by providing the Grasshopper definitions needed to transfer all the geometry and information with just one single click.

With this workflow you will be able to:

• Transfer all the VisualARQ objects from VisualARQ to Revit
• Transfer Rhino geometry from VisualARQ to Revit
• Use the IFC VisualARQ features to tag Rhino geometry with an IFC type so that it will be transferred to Revit as if you had exported to IFC
• For some objects (walls, slabs, doors, and windows), their styles will be automatically transferred as Revit types so that they will be Revit native objects
• Transfer all the VisualARQ parameters associated to objects with their values
• Update all this information anytime

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.

An introduction to QuadRemesh in Rhino WIP by SimplyRhino UK

In this video Phil Cook from SimplyRhino UK takes a look at another new feature in Rhino WIP: QuadRemesh.

This new quad mesh command (QuadRemesh) can create a quad dominant mesh from any input object – Surface, Polysurface, Sub-D, or existing Mesh. It provides an extremely efficient way of reverse engineering existing data, as it can convert directly to SubD.

We’ll also look at SubD workflows, a subject we started looking at in our previous video An Introduction to SubD (SubDivision Surface Modelling) in Rhino WIP. Watch that SubD video here.
