Bongo V2 Academic is the full-featured keyframe animation plugin for Rhino 3D, available at a significantly reduced price for eligible students, educators, and academic staff. It carries the same Inverse Kinematics engine and object-hierarchy tools as the commercial version, so animation skills learned here transfer directly to professional studio work. It's a cost-effective way for students to add motion and mechanism simulation to their modelling skillset without a separate, cut-down teaching edition.
