You buy one Rhino 6 and decide yourself on which operating system you like to install it. Rhino 6 will then be the same for both Mac and Windows operating systems.

Rhino 6 for Mac will hopefully be released later this year.This is a fully functional demo version.īy purchasing now an upgrade plus an extra Rhino 6 license, you get an extra discount of 5% on the upgrade.Ĭompanies & Individuals Students & Teachers Schools & Universities Test Rhinoceros 6.0 yourself for 90 days.The official information from McNeel & Associates about Rhinoceros 6.0: Features tutorial-based instruction using the latest versions of Rhinoceros® (Rhino 6 for Windows), Grasshopper®, Adobe Illustrator® CC, and Arduino.This is a big step forward for Rhino 5.0 users as McNeel & Associates work on it since 2012.Introduces topics of parametric modeling, algorithmic design, computational simulation, physical computing, and robotics through visual programming environments and processes.Provides comprehensive coverage of architectural representation, computing, computer-aided drafting, and 3D modeling tools, techniques, and workflows, for contemporary architectural design drawing aesthetics and graphics.Bridges analog hand-drawing and digital design drawing techniques.The book focuses on digital design software used in higher education and industry, including Robert McNeel & Associates Rhinoceros® (Rhino 6 for Windows), Grasshopper®, Adobe Illustrator® CC, and Arduino, and features an appendix filled with 10 design drawing and 3D modeling exercises intended as educational and pedagogical examples for readers to practice and/or teach workflows that are addresses in the book. Visual programming is introduced to address topics of parametric modeling, algorithmic design, computational simulations, physical computing, and robotics. The book offers insights into developments in computing in relation to architectural drawing and modeling, by addressing historical analog methods of architectural drawing based on descriptive geometry and projection, and transitioning to contemporary digital methods based on computational processes and emerging technologies.ĭrawing from the Model offers digital tools, techniques, and workflows for producing architectural design drawings (plans, sections, elevations, axonometrics, and perspectives), using contemporary 2D drawing and 3D modeling design software. Bridges traditional and contemporary methods of creating architectural design drawings and 3D models through digital tools and computational processes.ĭrawing from the Model: Fundamentals of Digital Drawing, 3D Modeling, and Visual Programming in Architectural Design presents architectural design students, educators, and professionals with a broad overview of traditional and contemporary architectural representation methods.
