RhinoARQ Academic is the bundled combination of Rhino 3D V8 and VisualARQ 3, the two essential tools for professional architectural design in Rhino, available together at a significantly reduced academic price. Eligible students, educators, and academic staff get the full commercial feature set of both products, from freeform NURBS modelling to parametric BIM and automatic documentation, without paying commercial rates for either. It's a genuinely cost-effective way to learn a complete architectural workflow on industry-standard software.
