"Learned it in an educational background, kept using since and still using as of today"

4/5

What do you like best about Rhinoceros?

Feels very professional and complete, you can basically create anything if you reverse engineer that thing and figure out how to make the best of the tools that Rhino makes available for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhinoceros?

It takes a little while to get used to and to be able to make the most out of the software. I had 2 years of classes specifically for this software and V-ray and I still didn't feel like I knew the software all that well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rhinoceros:

Get into it if you need to design 3D models or do some 3D printing, it's a really nice software to dive in the world of 3D modelling Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rhinoceros solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows me to create 3D models with a lot of precision for 3D printing and/or to create 3D animations and visuals. For example small accessories that I can model in Rhino, 3D print at home and sell online or at trade shows really quickly and efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Better than AutoCAD"

5/5

What do you like best about Rhinoceros?

Light weight, easy to use, uses similar commands to AutoDesk software, Lots of FREE plugins and tools, works with render farm setup Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhinoceros?

Setting up for multi-user environments can be tricky. Right now, since I have to capture and reimage every semester, I have to load the default user HKCU and literally delete a registry key so that it gets created fresh for each user, otherwise it tries to use the toolbars in the Administrator profile. It also doesn't have the BEST rendering engine, so I suggest you get V-Ray for Rhino to go with your installs of Rhino. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rhinoceros solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have faculty who teach how to model in Rhino, which makes the students use it and Sketchup almost exclusively for doing models and renderings. We have used it on the IT side to make some custom items that we then 3D print to replace broken parts, which does save us hundreds, if not a couple of thousand, of dollars a year.

Rhino's License manager, the Zoo, is very nice, lightweight, and does give some great statistics, and makes reviewing your license usage over time easy. It is far better than many other LS than I have used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing I dislike about Rhino. It's a great tool that I use daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rhino 3D Review"

5/5

What do you like best about Rhinoceros?

Rhino is used by students and professionals alike for a reason. It is really unparalleled in its usability, flexibility, interoperability and available support from the community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rhinoceros?

Precision is perhaps not as high as some other products, such as AutoCAD and Inventor, but for someone in the Architecture industry those tolerances are acceptable because of the scale we work at - we aren't concerning ourselves with micrometers of accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rhinoceros:

If there is an issue, chances are others have had it as well. There is a robust community of Rhino users that can help with troubleshooting, as well as tons of forum content solving issues that you might encounter. There is also a lot of training material available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rhinoceros solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rhino is generally able to handle most eccentric file types that we might receive from consultants. We also use it for the majority of our conceptual design and presenation-level modeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
