Geometry in Rhino is based on the NURBS mathematical model. Like AutoCAD, Rhino has always featured a command line where users can type commands. From its inception, Rhino was designed to be easy to learn, easy to use, low-cost and extensible.
The software evolved from a 1992 program called Sculptura. Primarily a surface modeler, but with many related features, Rhino is developed by Robert McNeel & Associates. The program can create, edit, analyze, document, render, animate and translate Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) curves, surfaces, solids, point clouds and polygon meshes. Okay, we've got Rhino installed and from the command line we can launch Grasshopper by simply typing Grasshopper, and we're ready to roll.Since its initial release at SIGGRAPH in 1998, Rhinoceros-or, more commonly, Rhino or Rhino3D-has won a very loyal following. I can enter one manually or in this case, I think I'll go ahead and log into Rhino's license server and use their online license manager. Now here I get several different options for how to set up my license. Okay, I just need to click and agree to the user terms. Let's go ahead and double click and make sure we get the licensing info set up.
I'll go ahead and close out the installer and I can see on my desktop, there's a shortcut icon to launch Rhino 7. So I'll click Install Now, give permission to the installer, and it looks like we're all set. So let's go ahead and double click here, start the install and I'll just work through the prompts. So I've already gone ahead and gone into my email, downloaded that installer and I can see it here in my Downloads folder. And this will send me an email which contains a download link and any licensing information that I'll need to finish the install. So I'm being prompted to enter my email address, go ahead and click Next. So let's just click here and we'll get a 90 day evaluation version of Rhino. So in this case, I'll work on seven since that's the latest version. So I can see right now I have options to download Rhino version seven or over here in the archives Rhino version six. And starting in version six, Rhinoceros began packaging the Grasshopper plugin inside of its installer. I happen to be working in Windows so I'll pay more attention to the links on the left. The install process is almost identical in either OS. I have links on the left for Windows and links on the right for Mac. And I can see the downloads page is divided into two columns. From here, let's go ahead and click on the download link in the top menu bar. To get started, I have taken my browser and navigated to.
In this video, we'll take a look at downloading and installing the Rhinoceros 3D modeling program which includes the Grasshopper plugin.
