Hello,

I was wondering which of the Rhino categories are needed if i intend on working on for Jewellery development?

Many thank for your help

I am not sure what you are asking for. Do you mean a category in this forum where to ask questions or are you perhaps thinking of plugin?

Dear Win,

What i meant, i downloaded the Rhino Evolution 5 for mac, when asked if i
want a bundle or single softwares:
If i need Rhino just for Jewelry design, do i need : Grasshopper, flamingo,
brazil. bongo ext…?
do all this tools are in Evolution - or it’s just Rhino.

I hope im clear, as this software is new to me.

Thanks
Sivan

In general you don’t need anything but Rhino in order to construct jewelry. That being said there is a reason why people are willing to pay money for plug-ins like RhinoGold

There are evaluation versions available for most of the plug-ins that you mention.

But none of these are available for the Mac platform for the time being.

Also, the words “jewelry design” do not necessarily cover what you need. The easiest way forward is to begin using Rhino and ask questions when you encounter something that you are not able to solve.

Hello @Sivan I have been using Rhino to do jewellery design since 2008. We do production jewellery, a team of 3 designers. One works just on Windows, one just on Mac and I work on both. I would suggest working just with Rhino, if you are Mac only this is your only option, none of the plugins you mention are on the Mac side yet. Grasshopper is free and is in a early beta state on the Mac.

To start that is about it, you will probably want to render your work down the road. The render you use depends on your platform, Windows or Mac. If I was choosing a McNeel renderer. I would use Brazil for jewellery work, but it is Windows only. This means you would need a 3rd party render software.

If you are on Windows, there is RhinoGold. Our company bought a few copies, but we never really used it. I personally would stick to Rhino first.
