NEWS: Rhino coming to mac!

[Mark Leichliter]

Sorry if this is an inappropriate post, but I find it pretty exciting, and thought some of you mac people out there might, too.

This is great news...in case the other forum members are not aware of it, Rhino is an inexpensive, full-featured 3D CAD program and NURBS Surface Modeler which is capable of generating any form, organic/curvilinear or Euclidean, with a measurable precision accurate enough for everything from jewelry design to naval architecture...and it reads and now writes SketchUp files. And almost any other CAD or 3D file format, for that matter. As of release 4, it has the functionality now to be an AutoCAD killer, as far as I am concerned.

Rhino has been the only tool that has held me to Windows for a while now. The only software-related news that could make me much happier would be a port of SketchUp to Linux. Or Rhino to Linux. Or news of the mothership arriving to take the blood-sucking aliens who run AutoDesk back to their home planet, their nefarious mission an abject failure.

Thanks for the post, Mark. I hadn't caught this one.

Lewis, I take it that you are not fond of AutoDesk? Just a guess...

BTW, I have no association or ties to AD.
