The oldest Rhino file in my readable archives! Snowboard binding for an OEM, went into production later that year. January 2000. Opened 25 years later in Rhino 8. Not the best work I ever did, lol, but coming out of Pro-E, Rhino was liberating.
What’s your oldest .3dm file?
that holds up well- nice work!
my oldest Rhino stuff is sadly locked away on zip disks that are no longer accessible since the reader is long since dead and gone…
here is an image from my very 1st 3d model done in formz in 1995-
and a rendering of one of my 1st full rhino builds circa 1998 or so … sadly the 3dm is long gone.
Looks like you were anticipating AI generated model issues by 20 years or so. No wait - it’s a kiddy car, not a hotrod.
There is also this thread Nostalgia (Rhino 2)
Late 2014 from the R8 bible I think I failed the matching on the side panel but I have the model and pdf stored inside a smal R8 usb stick
Also got the physical book for free in pristine condition inside a box somewhere
Got me by a couple of years….Here is a screen shot I took at some point of the grandstair in the Arthur Blank home office. Not sure what version I was on when I took the screen grab may have been years later. The other photo was taken in 2003 when the stair was being installed. It would have been late 2001 or sometime in 2002 when I did the 3D work. This was my first project with Rhino.

My first sold Rhino model is one of these from early 1998
Got a call from my customer asking if I know Rhino3D…
Yes - and I send the model the next day

Here is mine - 20th Dec 2011:
Was actually made using T-splines, the day after I watched one of @theoutside videos on getting started in T-splines. I downloaded the demo version of both Rhino 4 and Tsplines as soon as I got the office that day, and started on this design.
I believe the final design was sent to injection molding tooling before the 3 month trials ran out.
Here is the final part mounted on this board:

Very nice
Hi,
These images are some of my early Rhino work. I only had this image of the Dental office design and murals that I did Smile island. I rendered the model in Lightscape and then placed the renderings on a dodecahedron that was printed and could fold flat, back then we had to model the dodecahedron. Lightscape rendering was what one used before ladybug for lighting analysis. We used it to help design the office and I forgot there were televisions on the ceiling for the kids besides the murals to look at. The murals were ocean themed. The other image is Ionic order by Asher Benjamin.
All from 1997 I think Rhino was still in beta?

I’ve got AccuModel files from 1994, does that count?

Just found AccuModel in the history of..
Darn right that counts! What media format or chain of copying do you have that still survives from that era?
