For years, Mac users had to run Rhino in a window that looked like it was lifted straight from Windows 99. Rhino 8 changes the game with the native Apple Silicon port. Since parametric design is a staple of the

Rhino 8 now runs natively on Apple M1, M2, and M3 chips. The result? It is incredibly fast. Additionally, the Mac interface has been completely overhauled to look and feel like a true Mac application, utilizing the native Apple Metal graphics engine. Finally, Mac users get the full, fluid experience their hardware was built for. The Bad: Rhinoceros 8 is not a reinvention;
