McNeel has announced that the popular 3D modeling and design application, Rhino 6 for Mac, is now available for testing.

The Seattle-headquartered software company said that the WIP (work in progress) is recommended just for testing and not for production or mission-critical work.

Rhino 6 for Mac with Integrated Grasshopper

As Architosh has written in the past, the big news about Rhino 6 was the integration of Grasshopper, the industry’s leading algorithmic-aided design (AAD) or node-based visual programming tool. Tools like Grasshopper—sometimes referred to as accessible programming for designers (APFD)—enable architects and designers to develop generative algorithms for building both 2D and 3D computer models and designs. Such tools have been in vogue for well over a decade and a half by key marquee design firms (eg: Zaha Hadid Architects) and architecture students worldwide.
