I think they did the full run, which was like 30 or 50 units!
musta been the amazing surfacing work that sold em… 
Ehhhh I mean, the surfacing was ahhhhhmazing 
but something tells me that’s not what appeals to that particular customer base…

My first ever surfboard, flax fiber over XPS foam core. Board and fins designed in Rhino/Tsplines and CNC cut on my flat bed router.
Finished on Saturday, used it 4 times this week already, super fun board at my local beach break.
Cheers

How does it surf? Look very nice!
Thanks mate, 10 sessions/8.5 hours on it so far and very very happy.
I built it as my small wave/beach break board - a bump catcher - and it does that perfectly. Tight turns on these wide tail/keel finned boards takes time to master but I’m getting there.
Cheers

Here is the Colombo home phone that we designed back in 2008. It’s a little old now, but was designed by using Rhino:
It’s manufactured and distributed by SGW Global:

Hey, I remember that one! Beautiful product 
From back when there was still money to be made designing DECT phones for the masses

Is there an obstacle for Rhino to acquire VSR plugin and implement it? All lacking functionality is basically what VSR offered in R5
That ship has sailed a long time ago, and it wouldn’t surprise me if the Xnurbs train is also leaving the station soon (this whole discussion is here, btw and doesn’t really belong in this thread).
yes. one huge one… Autodesk owns it, and they aren’t selling…

ouch 
i wonder if you copy the functionality but with your own from scratch code if that is violating any copyrights or ethics?!
it kinda violates all copyrights and ethics to do that, even if it wasn’t legally protected, it’s not ethical to crib others work and it’s just not how we roll …
Not qualified to comment on anyone but us…
I do know one thing for sure, we never reverse engineer others software here under any circumstances. never have. never will.

I don’t know about this.
Tbh this seems rather silly to me.
The functionality of the VSR plug-in was largely non-original.
Heck most of it mirrored ICEM/Alias functionality.
These concepts of “class A”/bezier surface modeling (without starting another discussion about what this actually means) are not propriety concepts of Autodesk or Dassault or others, their implementation is.
Of course you are right to “not reverse engineer software of others” and I am totally with you on that.
But how far do you want to take this?
Are you trying to say McNeel invented all the concepts of CAD modeling that are present in Rhino?
Of course not.
So don’t try to reverse engineer VSR/Autodesk shape modeling, but please DO implement its general concepts and functionalities deemed useful for future versions of Rhino.
