We've improved Rhino with the aim of helping you present your work: be it 'quick and dirty' or 'high-res glossy.' With major changes to Rendering, Materials, or just plain capturing the viewport, it's now easier and faster to present, discuss, make decisions, and iterate. Presentation is key: during nearly every phase of design, you need to communicate, getting 'buy-in' from clients, customers, collaborators, or the public at large. Grasshopper provides the solid foundation for many incredible third-party components ranging from environmental analysis to robotic control. Used in some of the most ambitious design projects of the past decade, Grasshopper, like Rhino, has become a robust development platform. The long beta period is over: Grasshopper, the world's most beautiful programming language, is now a full-fledged part of Rhino.
We've also rewritten some features and renovated workflows that needed fundamental overhauls to make them truly productive. In Rhino 6 for Windows/Mac, we've fully embraced Grasshopper - the wildly popular visual programming language - by 'baking it in.' Grasshopper is no longer beta it's a stable development environment.
