If you're buying Rhino 3D and know you need a specific plugin — VisualARQ for BIM, LandsDesign for landscape, or Bongo for animation — buying them together as a bundle costs less than purchasing each one separately. This guide breaks down exactly what each bundle includes, how much you save, and which bundle makes sense for your workflow.
What Bundles Are Available?
CADWAX offers three bundle products, each combining a Rhino 3D commercial or academic licence with a plugin in a single purchase:
| Bundle | Includes | Commercial Price (ex VAT) | Academic Price (ex VAT) |
|---|---|---|---|
| RhinoARQ | Rhino 8 + VisualARQ 3 | £1,295 | £230 |
| RhinoLands | Rhino 8 + LandsDesign V6 | £1,295 | £230 |
| Bella + Rhino 3D | Rhino 8 + Bella Render | See product page | See product page |
| Bongo + Rhino 3D | Rhino 8 + Bongo V2 | See product page | See product page |
RhinoARQ: Rhino + VisualARQ Bundle
RhinoARQ combines a full Rhino 8 commercial licence with a VisualARQ 3 licence in a single purchase. VisualARQ adds BIM tools to Rhino — parametric walls, doors, windows, slabs, roofs, curtain walls, section drawings, schedules, and IFC import/export for interoperability with Revit, ArchiCAD, and other BIM applications.
Commercial bundle: £1,295 ex VAT (£1,554 inc VAT)
If bought separately: Rhino 8 commercial (£790) + VisualARQ commercial (£660) = £1,450. The bundle saves you £155.
Academic bundle: £230 ex VAT (£276 inc VAT)
If bought separately: Rhino 8 academic (£150) + VisualARQ academic (£95) = £245. The bundle saves you £15 — and at this price point, a student gets Rhino plus full BIM tools for less than the individual VisualARQ commercial licence alone.

RhinoLands: Rhino + LandsDesign Bundle
RhinoLands pairs Rhino 8 with LandsDesign V6, a landscape BIM plugin that adds terrain modelling, a plant database with 1,800+ species, irrigation design, and landscaping-specific documentation tools. If you work in landscape architecture, urban design, or environmental planning, this is the relevant bundle.
Commercial bundle: £1,295 ex VAT (£1,554 inc VAT)
If bought separately: Rhino 8 commercial (£790) + LandsDesign commercial (£660) = £1,450. The bundle saves you £155.
Academic bundle: £230 ex VAT (£276 inc VAT)
If bought separately: Rhino 8 academic (£150) + LandsDesign academic (£95) = £245. The bundle saves you £15.

Bella + Rhino 3D Bundle
This bundle pairs Rhino 8 with Bella Render, a spectral rendering engine built for physically accurate materials and lighting. If your work involves client-facing visualisation — studio product shots, architectural interiors, or presentation renders — Bella sits alongside Rhino's built-in Cycles renderer for when you need higher photoreal quality.
The bundle is available for commercial use. See the Bella + Rhino 3D product page for current pricing.
For a detailed comparison of Cycles vs Bella Render and when to use each, see our studio rendering guide.
Bongo + Rhino 3D Bundle
Bongo V2 is McNeel's keyframe animation plugin for Rhino. It lets you animate model movements, camera paths, and viewport transitions directly within Rhino — useful for presentation walkthroughs, mechanical assemblies, and design communication. If you need to show how something works rather than just how it looks, Bongo handles the animation without exporting to a separate tool.
The bundle is available for commercial use. See the Bongo + Rhino 3D product page for current pricing.
Plugin-Only Options
If you already own a Rhino licence, you don't need a bundle — you can purchase the plugin separately:
| Plugin | Commercial (ex VAT) | Academic (ex VAT) | Requires |
|---|---|---|---|
| VisualARQ 3 | £660 | £95 | Rhino licence (any version 6+) |
| LandsDesign V6 | £660 | £95 | Rhino licence (any version 6+) |
| Bongo V2 | £410 | £164 | Rhino licence (any version 6+) |
| MoI3D V4 | £195 | £65 | Standalone (no Rhino needed) |
Note: VisualARQ and LandsDesign are plugins that run inside Rhino — they cannot function without a Rhino licence. MoI3D is a standalone NURBS modeller that works alongside Rhino but doesn't require it.
Upgrade Paths for Bundles
If you already own an older Rhino + plugin combination, upgrades are available for each component separately:
- Rhino upgrade (any version to Rhino 8): £450 commercial / £79 academic ex VAT
- VisualARQ upgrade: £395 commercial / £55 academic ex VAT
- LandsDesign upgrade: Available — contact us for current pricing
- Bongo upgrade (V1 to V2): £215 commercial / £84 academic ex VAT
Upgrades are per-component — there's no single "bundle upgrade" SKU. Purchase the Rhino upgrade and the plugin upgrade separately. See our upgrade guide for the full process.
Which Bundle Should You Choose?
- Architecture / BIM workflows → RhinoARQ (Rhino + VisualARQ). IFC export, parametric building elements, documentation, Revit interoperability.
- Landscape / urban design → RhinoLands (Rhino + LandsDesign). Terrain modelling, planting, irrigation, landscape documentation.
- Presentation / visualisation → Bella + Rhino 3D. Physically accurate rendering for client-facing visuals.
- Animation / presentation walkthroughs → Bongo + Rhino 3D. Keyframe animation within Rhino.
- Need multiple plugins? → Buy Rhino + each plugin separately, or contact us for a custom multi-plugin bundle quote.
All bundles include perpetual licences — no subscriptions, no recurring fees. Both commercial and academic bundles come with full commercial use rights.
