Q&A

Q
Why use Rhino?
A

Rhinoceros was the best tool to design the innovative hull of the new concept motorboat Kenau. Rhinoceros was used throughout the complete product development process and was very successful.
In the Naval Architecture people use often several computer programs for shipdesign.
Rhino was able to do it all: Hull design, interior, construction of the ship, cabriolet top and technical installations. Even the new electric motor was designed in Rhino.

Q
Advantage of Using Rhino
A

Rhinoceros generates surfaces as fast as I can think. It is also an excellent tool to visualize my ideas with Flamingo renderings or even the standard Rhino renderer.
Then it is possible to develop the design to something which actually can be build. And that all for a low price is very attractive for example small design bureau’s or design students.
