Rhino 3D Design Explorations

Above is a project done with Rhino 3D which is a CAD or Computer Aided Design program used by designers and engineers to rapidly explore concepts. I typically use Rhino for projects then switch to a program such as Solidworks for the actual implementation. This was done using Rhino 7 which has a new Sub-D modeling feature that is incredibly powerful.

The rendering above is somewhere between a drone and a helicopter. The intention is to use such a craft for fighting forest fires. The blue tanks hold water and the nozzles in the front can spray water. I made the concept project to test out the new Sub-D modeling features in Rhino 3D and would likely use a program such as Keyshot for generating photorealistic renderings.
