Rhino 6 for Windows & MAC Upgrade, Educational Single User

Note: Rhino 6 for Windows Educational versions have no time restrictions and function identically to the commercial license.

Upgrade your older educational license to the Rhino 6 for windows educational single user.

Rhino 6 can create, edit, analyze, document, render, animate, and translate NURBS curves, surfaces, and solids, point clouds, and polygon meshes. There are no limits on complexity, degree, or size beyond those of your hardware.

Special features include

    +  Uninhibited free-form 3D modeling tools like those found only in products costing 20 to 50 times more. Model any shape you can imagine.

    +  Accuracy needed to design, prototype, engineer, analyze, and manufacture anything from an airplane to jewelry.

    +  Compatibility with all your other design, drafting, CAM, engineering, analysis, rendering, animation, and illustration software.

   +   Read and repair meshes and extremely challenging IGES files.

    +  Accessible. So easy to learn and use that you can focus on design and visualization without being distracted by the software.

    +  Fast, even on an ordinary laptop computer. No special hardware is needed.

    +  Development platform for hundreds of specialty 3D products.

    +  Affordable. Ordinary hardware. Short learning curve. Affordable purchase price. No maintenance fees.

In Rhino 6 for Windows, we've fully embraced Grasshopper - the wildly popular visual programming language - by "baking it in." Grasshopper is no longer beta; it's a stable development environment. We've also rewritten some features and renovated workflows that needed fundamental overhauls to make them truly productive. These are the highlights...

Grasshopper

The long beta period is over: Grasshopper, the world's most beautiful programming language, is now a full-fledged part of Rhino. Used in some of the most ambitious design projects of the past decade, Grasshopper, like Rhino, has become a robust development platform. Grasshopper provides the solid foundation for many incredible third-party components ranging from environmental analysis to robotic control.

 Presentation

Presentation is key: during nearly every phase of design, you need to communicate, getting "buy-in" from clients, customers, collaborators, or the public at large. We've improved Rhino with the aim of helping you present your work: be it "quick and dirty" or "high-res glossy." With major changes to Rendering, Materials, or just plain capturing the viewport, it's now easier and faster to present, discuss, make decisions, and iterate.

Display

Rhino's new display pipeline is faster, more stable, and uses features found on modern graphics hardware, like GPU sensitive shaders and memory optimizations. This results in fewer GPU-specific display glitches and more consistent, beautiful, and frequent frames, even with large models. In some conditions, display speed can be up to 300% faster.

Improved Display Modes

New and improved viewport display modes produce stunning high-resolution output images at interactive frame-rates.

Curves and Points

Curves are smoother and faster to draw. Points are displayed in beautiful detail. 

Guides

Use AddGuide to create infinite lines that can used as temporary modeling aids. Use RemoveGuide to remove them.

Documentation

Modeling is just one part of the design process; you also need to show how to build what is on the screen. We've refined many parts of the documentation workflow, from a completely reworked annotation-style interface, to better DWG support, and RichText throughout. It's now easier to convey accurately and clearly the what and the how of your design.
