I’m impressed.
Here is another project drawn with Rhino…Pensacola Courthouse renovation. They replace all the brick on the outside with limestone clad precast panels.

This thread is pretty amazing. Rhino seems to be a lot like Blender is amongst Autodesk snobs 
.
I work in aerospace using the snob tools. Rhino has been an excellent way to experiment with surfacing fundamentals (on my own time) that I can apply to other software packages. I’m also sold on the fact that I can own the tool after I buy it. Gonna get a license once my trial runs out.
“The functionality of the VSR plug-in was largely non-original.
Heck most of it mirrored ICEM/Alias functionality.”
Yup, I was using NX’s tools (X-form) yesterday, and was like, “Hey, this is just like that plugin Sky was using in his tutorial.”

Hi Jason,
thank you very much for your kind reply, please excuse the long delay… I have now become more and more familiar with SubD and am very satisfied with the results so far (it was about image reliefs- eg animals). For other projects, however, NURBS curves may be necessary for more accurate results…? However, I am still working my way into Rhino, and hope to develop a better understanding of NURBS.
Thanks again!

Latest AK Durable Supply Co video:
Has some footage of me and Zane in the lab building hydrofoil prototypes - designed in Rhino of course.

I want to read up on natural stone cladding. There’s a few buildings in my city that use it (instead of glazing) and they look absolutely amazing. One example might be artificial stone. It’s such a great building material and I suspect it might be due for a resurgence.

It’s kept me employed for almost 35 year straight…Look up the Emory University campus in Atlanta…They have used marble for the exterior of their buildings for almost 200 years. I have 2 projects going on now both covered in marble and drawn with Rhino.

Yes, and in a very bad way :
Look at that ISO curves randomly spear on the blade and the awfull network SRF for the handle instead of a simple revolve surface. 
(I’m kidding of course)

Which is great, because the moment you let “good modelling OCD” get in the way whilst in the designprocess, then you’ll end up with crap looking design. Never let the left half of the brain dictate the right in what feel’s right 
IMO the image shows a perfect use of Rhino, stretch, bend and manipulate the crap out of those shapes until they feel right, then remodel them until it flows right.

I am not as experienced as other users here, but what I feel that worked best for me in the past 3 years was, doing whatever it was necessary to get the shape that I needed/wanted, then reworking the shapes to be “well modeled”

That’s really nice! Did you know how to use grasshopper back then? Would you have used it or still considered going manual on the modeling?
Gh was essential to get the basic shape right. There were hundreds of iterations before final touch in Rhino.

Is this the MacOS version of Rhino?
If so, it’s from a Netflix documentary featuring a company which has sold over 100 million units of their product (a mountain of single use plastic waste, but that’s another issue).
yes that is Rhino for mac.
I made the leap from working on interior design projects to the exterior world, we work on mostly large public realm spaces, urban design projects etc. We use Rhino for all our bespoke stoneworks, some case studies can be seen here

Glad to see we are not the only stone company using Rhino.

What is this?
yeh we do a lot of complex stoneworks on some pretty unique projects in the urban design & landscaping sector, Rhino is the go to tool for sure
