This Simply Rhino video focuses on Rhino 8 for Mac. We take a look at the performance enhancements offered by this latest Rhino version (v8) and also the interface changes it brings.

Viewport Responsiveness and Raytraced Rendering

It’s fair to say that the performance of Rhino 7 for Mac lagged significantly behind its Windows counterpart; most notably in terms of Viewport responsiveness and Raytraced rendering times.

20 Times Faster Than Rhino 7

The great news is that Rhino 8 for Mac fixes these issues and, as we’ll see in our video, is 20 times faster for some tasks than Rhino 7.
