Rhinoceros Description
Rhinoceros is a comprehensive and reliable application providing you with 3D model design tools, that you can use to create almost any tree-dimensional object that crosses your mind.
The application has an interesting interface, allowing you to display the object you are working on from four separate angles, so you can get a ‘Perspective’ view of the drawing, but also from the right, the front or from above. This ensures that all sides of your project are fully visible at all time, sparing you from having to switch between various modes of display.
The left-side menu allows you to select the shapes you want to use when designing, such as lines, arcs, circles, rectangles, polygons, or ellipses, while from the right-side of the window, you can adjust the layers and modify the display options.
Rhinoceros enables you to create solid objects, such as boxes, spheres, cylinders, pyramids and cones, but also various surfaces, with adjustable characteristics for each design.
The ‘Transform’ functions allows you to rotate, scale or mirror objects, but also twist, bend, taper or stretch them, in order to get the effect you are looking for.
Aside from all the features and functions, Rhinoceros also offers a series of utilities that can come in handy when designing 3D models, such as the ‘Alerter’, that enables the application to perform a certain operation if a command takes more time than estimated.
From the ‘Animations’ toolbar, you can simulate the Sun’s movement throughout a particular day, week, month or even year. You can also set a 360 degrees turntable animation, to rotate around a target.
With Rhinoceros, you can create a wide array of 3D designs, ranging from vehicles, such as cars, boats or airplanes, to house plans, footwear, medical prostheses or jewelry, but its complex interface makes it less approachable by those inexperienced in the area.
