Monday 14th April 2025 in London, UK
The Rhino New Developments Day (RNDD) is geared towards people and organisations interested in extending Rhino’s functionality either through Grasshopper or through Rhino’s development frameworks such as Rhino Compute or Rhino.Inside and external plugins.
Get a jump on understanding what McNeel has been working on for Rhino 9 and how it might help move your office’s workflow forward. Learn about extending Grasshopper, Rhino, on-going web technology projects that can be deployed anywhere and the unbelievable Rhino.Inside integrations allowing you to bring Rhino and Grasshopper into almost any workflow you have.
Meet the people developing these technologies to really get an understanding of how they work and what might be possible.
