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 — a cost-effective way to add motion and mechanism simulation to your modelling skillset, not a separate, cut-down teaching edition.
Key features
- Inverse Kinematics engine for rigging and animating mechanisms
- Object-hierarchy tools for organising complex animated assemblies
- Keyframe-based animation timeline built directly into Rhino
Licence details

- Eligibility: Valid student, faculty, or staff status at an accredited institution — proof required
