A RhinoFabStudio™ (fabrication studio) is a small-scale digital workshop, certified by McNeel, with an array of Rhino and Rhino compatible software and computer-controlled tools and training. These tools cover the various leading-edge industrial methods and materials needed to design, analyze, and fabricate almost anything.

Overview
In Rhino 6, 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.
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.
Licensing & Administration
We have worked hard to make Rhino easier to install, license, and configure. There's a great new option to license Rhino using the Cloud Zoo. Please check out the new System Requirements as well.
Make2D
Make2D has been completely rewritten to provide faster, better, cleaner, more customizable results.
Rhino Refinements
Small quirks add up to painful paper cuts over the course of a prolonged modeling session. In Rhino 6, we've fixed hundreds of minor bugs and consolidated disparate - but similar - features into single commands, making Rhino much more refined.
Development Platform
Rhino is more than just a modeler. With a rich ecosystem of plugins and an open set of development tools, Rhino is quickly becoming the development platform for those seeking to push the envelope of design. Rhino 6 brings major improvements to our free SDKs, with API refinements, better documentation, and more access to Rhino commands from Grasshopper.
Serengeti
We're constantly improving Rhino. Rhino 6 users have access to the Serengeti community and our Work-In-Progress (WIP) builds. The WIP builds are where we are developing future features like SubD support, Grasshopper 2, a new real-time rendering engine, and much more.
Top artists and designers from every type of industry rely on the Brazil render engine for their most demanding work. Whether showing off the latest designs for a new mobile phone, doing site-accurate visualizations for a new resort-hotel, or generating images of your newest jewelry designs, Brazil can help you create stellar imagery quickly and easily.
Product Design Brazil can help you visualize your designs in a wide range of styles from high-quality photorealistic renderings, to easy to understand line drawings and illustrations.
- Flexible camera settings help achieve realism.
- Mix and match photorealistic and Illustrative rendering styles.
- Simulate a vast array of complex materials -- everything from hard reflective materials to soft, translucent plastics. More details...
Jewelry Design Brazil is the ideal renderer for the hard-surfaces and complex light interaction needed by jewelry designers.
- Diffusion in materials along with HDRI lighting create brillance in gemstones.
- Realistic lighting through caustic photon reflections and refractions.
- Advanced camera features, like depth-of-field, help show scale and make your renderings look like photographs.
Transportation Design Sharp rendering and multilevel materials allow Brazil to simulate the complex material finishes needed for planes, trains and automobiles.
- Simple to use HDRI lighting makes set-up a snap.
- Accurate reflections communicate surface contours.
- Accurate shadowing and flexibility in camera lenses help create a sense of scale in your images.
Architectural Design Brazil's render engine has the performance and flexibility to render all forms of exteriors, interiors and landscaping.
Mcneel Rhino
- Global Illumination and industry standard IES photometric datasets from lighting manufacturers can be used.
- Sunlighting system allows for site specific daylighting studies.
- Sophisticated, realistic materials allow you to work equally well whether doing interiors or exteriors.
