I use Rhinoceros 4.0 for 3D modeling on my computer. I started using it 2 1/2 years ago when I took a class for it in highschool. For the most part I render in Flamingo Nxt (I think it has a different name now) and in the past I have rendered with Flamingo Raytrace 2.0. Here is some of my best work:

Are there any other Rhino users out there?
 
I dislike using Rhino. All my peers promote 3DS instead.

I have heard it is a very good program. Isn't it quite expensive though? For students Rhino only costs $200.
 
AutoCAD is free for students.
 
I currently decided to get back into 3D as I used to use 3DS and Maya but stopped about 5 years ago and havent picked up any software since. I downloaded Blender the opensource 3D package and watched a few tutorials to get me started again. I need to get used to it.

Quiet a few of my friends suggest using 3DS or Maya as this is the industry standard but it can be quite expensive.
 
I've dabbled with Rhino after a product design friend mentioned it. Not done much with it though.

Which is just to get you used to their product over others so your looking at a $5000 bill for the full licensed version afterwards... It's a brilliant strategy really.

Nice work though, I wish I had some sort of artistic talent.
 
I've never used Rhino but I'd be interested to know how it compares to PTC ProEngineer which I have used quite a lot.
