What’s new in Rhino 8

Rhino 8 offers new modeling tools such as ShrinkWrap, a significant speed increase for Mac users, SubD Creases, an improved PushPull working method, improved drawing tools, a highly customizable user interface, an accelerated rendering engine , new data types in Grasshopper and much more. Here are a few key innovations.

ShrinkWrap: Get gold from the rubble

ShrinkWrap creates a sealed mesh around open or closed meshes, NURBS, SubD and point cloud geometries: ideal for creating meshes for 3D printing.

Build for Mac

Rhino for Mac is faster than ever, runs the same on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and uses Apple Metal technology for display. With this release, the user interface on Mac is closer than ever to its Windows counterpart.

SubDCreases

Anti-aliasing in SubD creates a feature between a smooth and a sharp edge without adding complexity to the SubD control mesh, great for creating chamfer-like features.

Modeling simplified

Rhino 8 opens up new modeling workflows like PushPull and adds intuitive new features to Gumball, automatic control planes, and more.

Trimming and Splitting

Rhino 8 introduces several trimming and splitting enhancements to support a variety of drafting and fabrication workflows.

Presentation

Rhino 8 has an updated Cycles render engine, improved UV processing, improved procedural textures, a new display mode, and much more.

Grasshopper: Rhino Data Types

Rhino data types allow you to create geometry with custom attributes, import additional file formats, manage blocks, use native materials in the graphics pipeline, create hatches and annotations, and many other advanced workflows.

Development Platform

Rhino 8 introduces a new code editor, support for CPython and .NET 7, significant improvements to our free SDKs, API refinements, and several major new features that broaden and deepen the foundations of the geometry development platform.

Other changes

The new version contains new linetypes, improved Boolean operations for meshes, improved surface editing tools, and much more.
Check out the “What’s New in Rhino 8” documentation for a complete list and new command options.
