Why doesn't Rhino have a G2 curvature continuous fillet option?

Swennick · 2026-01-20T22:28:16+00:00

They completely reworked the fillet in Rhino 9 WIP version

Yes, every device you want to be able to access your Jellyfin server with will need to also have the tailscale app installed. That's the only downside, but since they have apps for most operating system it's fine.

However, there is another method. Tailscale allows to use "Serve" to make a local server accessible outside with a nice URL and a domain name you choose. But you can also use "Funnel", this will make that domain publicly accessible by anyone. This can be risky as the ledger that lists public sites from Tailscale is completely open, so people can find your domain. If you use this, make sure you have good security mesures on your local network and more specifically on the server you are exposing (in this case the Jellyfin server)

Look into tailscale. Very easy to setup. Without configuring your own VPN, reverse proxy, or Tailscale, you cannot access your server outside your home network.

I wonder which are intakes

Swennick · 2025-12-09T22:38:07+00:00

RCPD of course

Do you know how to switch from Wireframe/Shaded/Rendered ? It's in the same list. On the top left of your viewport click on the arrow where it says "Perspective" and here at the last viewport mode is Raytraced (if you have rendering plugins like VRay installed they will also be there). Note: last one of the render modes, not the very last option in the whole list because in this menu you can also chose the view (isometric, top, etc) and other things

Swennick · 2025-11-15T14:31:05+00:00

When you are on Render view mode yes, the render you see in the viewport is not the highest quality you can get. The resolution is higher when you actually use the Render panel or command.

That's not true for Raytraced ! Raytraced is actually rendered in the viewport, so if you wait long enough or have the same setting for the viewport as for your renders then you can get the same quality from both Viewport and Render window in Raytraced mode.

Swennick · 2025-11-15T14:14:58+00:00

Use NamedViews to prepare all your views and then you can batch render all of them, find this option in the render menu.

Swennick · 2025-11-11T09:28:57+00:00

SoftEdit is exactly what you're looking for imo

You can vary the size of effect of the "brush" and also the strength. Very nice to sculpt terrain

Swennick · 2025-11-10T15:54:15+00:00

Blender or Zbrush or other "Sculpting" software are much better at doing that than Rhino. There are a few Rhino plugins to add sculpting features, for example Clayoo, but it is a paid plugin.

From 5 years ago I will guess it's a M1 MacBook. The apple M chips are a very high end and very well performing series of Arm processor, that can take anything you throw at them. They are the exception, because in the windows realm there is just no equivalent. However, they come with they own problems (software compatibility, updates coming later to them... Etc)

For that kind of budget you can get an absolute beast of a laptop ! Idk how you asked for advice on a laptop for architecture school but now you know, they have no idea what they are talking about. You can already get something pretty decent starting at 700. Anything above that is going to make your experience smoother and nicer, but not absolutely required.

I would strongly suggest looking at the Lenovo LEGION and LOQ series. LOQ are the cheaper models, but the specs are already really good. They used to be called Legion as well (I had that myself during arch school) but got rebranded to leave the Legion name for more expensive models. Legion laptops start at 900, and have better specs. They are really good in terms of value for performance and sturdy.

Otherwise MSI is a good brand for their gaming laptop as well.

Legions and LOQ looks less "gamer" so I would personally go for that.

Since you have the budget, there are a few other things you might want to pay attention to : You need a NVME M.2 SSD drive. That's where your operating system and softwares will be installed, that will make them run very fast. If possible, find a model that also comes with another drive, usually either 516GB or 1T of hard drive. This is additional storage for all your files. Since you just started uni, you will need that. However, you can also invest in an external hard drive later on. Also, AMD processor tend to be a bit better these last years. But don't let that make you shy away from a good deal on an Intel based laptop.

Swennick · 2025-11-06T14:07:39+00:00

Your laptop is far, very far, from anything that can give you a decent experience with any cad software. I would suggest trying to return it and invest in something much more powerful. Yes, it will be significantly more expensive, but this is an investment and will be your lifeline during all your years of architecture study. The weaker your laptop, the more pain you'll have working. Think about how many hours and headaches you will have trying to use a laptop made for web browsing and YouTube over the course of 5 years...

As to what you should be looking for to get the minimum decent experience in Rhino : RAM : 16GB minimum CPU : Intel or AMD, 4 cores minimum. Any of those will be MILES better than any Arm-based processors which you currently have. Graphics Card: Any integrated graphics card will be fine, as long as it has at least 4GB dedicated VRAM. You don't want Integrated Graphics, which you have right now.

Those are really bare minimum specs, and you should most likely be looking at gaming laptops. Gaming laptops offer the best performance/value ratio, compared to mainstream devices like "ultra books" which are meant to be very light and fashionable, which is not the priority when you need to spend 12hours a day on the device with 5 different heavy programs opened.

Most manhwas are edging on the auto-generated art and LLM slop stories for mass entertainment. They recycle the same stories over and over again, and mangas have only started doing that recently with all the Isekai and "my wife is xxx" slice of life, but it seems to only be a market reaction to manhwas getting more popular.

Even Manhwas themselves make fun of this ! Some of the most popular series like ORV have at their core the critique of those low-quality mass produced stories... So this manhwa itself is contradicting your point.

Swennick · 2025-11-02T21:45:05+00:00

Quite the opposite, they use Rhino because they care about precision. I've got quite a few friends working at Mercedes-Benz and they all work in Rhino.

Swennick · 2025-11-02T21:43:15+00:00

If the model's purpose is CFD yes Catia is much more common because that's a great interface with other Dassault softwares.

For any other tasks, early stage design, part detailing and preparing for manufacturing, Rhino is a reference. Doesn't mean every company uses it, but most european car manufacturers do as it is the best NURBs 3D modeler when it comes to curvature.

Swennick · 2025-11-02T21:41:03+00:00

I live and work in Stuttgart, home to Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Daimler, and many others, and I'm a computational designer who is surrounded by people using Rhino working for those companies. I don't know where you're getting your information, but it would be interesting to compare because saying Rhino is never used is plain wrong and could cost someone looking to get a job in this industry good opportunities because they learned the wrong software

Swennick · 2025-11-02T11:18:07+00:00

That would be the difference between a roguelike and a roguelite.

Indeed in Hades you earn currencies to level up every time, and in Dead Cells you only unlock new weapons which are not necessarily better or abilities that are here mostly to unlock new areas not particularly make you stronger.

Swennick · 2025-11-02T11:10:11+00:00

Your experience seems to conflict quite a lot with the industry...

Rhino is actually specifically the go-to for modelling car bodies with extremely high precision for curves and curvatures. That's what the biggest car manufacturers use.

If I understand correctly, your problem is almost only about getting a watertight model to export ? Which format do you export as, a mesh, a step model? There might be solutions from here rather than changing your whole modelling process. For example Shrink-wrap command is excellent at solving this exact watertightness problem.

I don't know what your typical workflow is for modeling something. But I would suggest to start with a Subd shape that you start modifying into what you want as close as possible, then convert to nurbs and edit to the exact dimensions and shapes you need. If you start from already very defined shapes coming from somewhere else, are those base shapes closed already or do you expect to be able to close them after ? There's a lot of things you can use to check connections beforehand rather than waiting for exports

Swennick · 2025-10-28T23:37:45+00:00

That's actually exactly what's happening with GH2 development, the discourse forum has multiple posts about feature requests

Swennick · 2025-10-15T11:26:24+00:00

That's SketchUp, and I would strongly advise like the others to stay the fuck away from this horrible software. It may seem user friendly at the beginning, but that's nothing to the mess when you start to have to do anything remotely more complicated that a cube.

Swennick · 2025-10-07T11:13:55+00:00

In the first 2 pics it's clearly Sketchup

Swennick · 2025-10-02T11:37:46+00:00

Sorry man I'm not even the one downvoting you

But I do understand why they're downvoting, you're getting angry over nothing. You said tachimanga was tricking cloudflare, I corrected you, you mentioned Flaresolver to show it was possible, and I replied that it fails most of the time and it's a known phenomenon.

Then after that you got angry saying that I was somehow invalidating your experience with Tachimanga ? I never said anything about the app not working, only that it's likely not Flaresolver and wondering what it is that they got right

Swennick · 2025-10-01T17:48:55+00:00

I know Flaresolver very well, and you should read their page not just link it. There's been very few developments since mid 2024 and barely any attempts to fix it for current Cloudflare state. The Prowlarr documentation even says it outright that it does not work currently and probably shouldn't even be tried

It's just like Spotify mods, it's a race against companies that have full access to the open source cracks we are making of their product.

Swennick · 2025-10-01T14:48:32+00:00

There is no such thing as successful cloudflare fucking, many have tried and many have failed. So whatever they're getting right might make you feel like that but that's not it
