Rhino forum channel open! Forum Leaders

#9

I give it two thumbs up.
I use rhino for pretty much all the modelling I do and I would be more then happy to have a high quality forum here on cgtalk to discuss rhino-related issues.

#10

please ignore the admin votes atm… they were posted by dirty and ???

who, as far as i know are just morons voting and are not admin… well i may be wrong if i am please correct me.

There’s no conspiracy against Rhino. We used to have a forum (long time ago) and nobody used it. Apparantly the official Rhino forums run by the developers is still the best. It’s useless for us to have a forum with no activity, so we shut it down. If you can convince us otherwise, we’ll gladly open one again. Vote away.

… time for a petition?

sign me up!

#13

thank you leonard

i didnt believe that there ever was a conspiracy against rhino i just thought the most effective way to get my message across was powerful words. all i simply want to do is prove there is a member base out there on cgtalk that would be ussing it. thanks for the concern

Ok heres my pitch for a Rhino forum. I’am just learning the thing so I cant comment on it being the best etc. However its the only 3D prog demo that I have stuck with and working through tutorials. The appeal to be is its like Adobe illustrator but in 3D. Yeah I know its not realy but Bezier curves and nurbs seem pretty similar to me.

I know there is an offical Rhino forum but the group dynamic seems to be more on the engineering/CAD side of things. Far enough thats what the program was created for.

I see Rhino as an industrial tool that could be used for great creative purposes and this seems like the places to express them.

I can understand the reluctance to set up a channel that wont get used and maybe it will be a bit slow to start with. But once word of mouth spreads and the rhino forum starts popping up in Google searches I think you’ll find more and more people joining.

And as for the non Rhino users here. It’s just going to take one killer picture posted to make people think hmmm maybe I’ll give that a go.

Think of it like this. A sculpter may use industrial tools.
Graffiti artists use industrial car paints.
The history of art is ful of examples where industrial tools are co-opted to serve artists.
Lets get this one well and truely co-opted up the ying yang:thumbsup:

And as I said in the last Rhino poll… Go on give us a forum, be your mate if you do!

#15

Just wondering, how many votes are needed so the new forum will be made?

#16

i agree completely with OamadeusO i think with possible everything that he said too.

rani there is no set number of votes needed to get the channel. what we need to do is prove that there is demand for the channel and im sure admin will be more than happy to open one.

atm there is a problem and that is sitting here in the suggestions channel. no on ever view this we will never get any votes here. we have to get the poll moved back to general discussion

#17

I would be pleased to find a forum about Rhino and Nurb modelling. There are many users and mostley professionals from the industry. And it would be a good idea to discuss Nurb modelling issues specifically somewhere here in CG Talk.

It also would turn more attention to CG Talk for providing a good place for those who are interested in Nurb modelling and Rhino.

Quite professional.

#18

id be here more often if there was a rhino forum,

im a rhino strictly user, love it, plus its gaining popularity by the day,

so im with it, 2 thumbs up,…

#19

110 % for support it !!

please, make it ^^

#20

excellent!

we need to get this thread more exposure… any ideas?? im trying to get it moved back to general discussion but i dont really know how??

but in the mean time i hope all of your mouths double in side cos it dominently word of mouth
but keep it up we need these votes

#21

Just thought of another good reason to have a channel for Rhino on this board.

It would be good to be able to discuss how rhino can be used in conjunction with other programs. Say modeling in Rhino then texturing in Cinema or max etc.

Oh and if a Rhino channel is create i’ll sign up for paid membership of this board:D
Hows that for a bribe?

#22

i always wondered y theres no Rhino Forum here,there are plenty of very talented rhino artists around and im sure there would be a lot of traffic…u got my vote! :thumbsup:

#23

i don’t understand,how many ppl have to vote, cause in my older rhinoceros poll (in suggestions section), it’s was a result 42:9 for specified rhino forum,and it’s not enough? this is second thread started from us to get rhino forum,so can you tell me how many votes is necessary to start it again?

#24

Hi all,

Well it would be great to have a Rhino Channel, I’m sure many of us uses rhino, why not give it another chance and see if this time it works.

#25

paraglidepip & furo & crearte thankyou for joining the rhino quest… haha love the hummer btw furo:thumbsup:

in response to your question (that im sure was directed at leonard) i dont know i hvnt had a personal conversation with him… the problem is that here there isnt much exposure and we need that.

if/once the forum starts so many ppl will come to cgtalk tho… its just getting them here now to vote thats the issue.

i not sure but i think the problem with the previous poll was no admin saw… i mean wiro voted and he is forum leader (now dont know about then)… im not sure… ill going to PM wiro and wee if he wants to vote here now… he is online

#26

Leigh, there is no NURBS modelling forum. Or if there is, it’s not part of the modelling forum where it sould belong.

I think a NURBS subforum would be more benificial than a specific Rhino forum. NURBS modelling isn’t as widespread as it used to be and I think it would help more if all related resources were pooled together.
With that said I still like to use Rhino for specific tasks so it’s certainly not dead to me. I’d be interested in participating.

I vote no for a Rhino forum but yes for a NURBS subforum

Wiro

#27

wiro i do like that suggestion.

i think that is a perfect compromise… however i wish u voted yes:sad: lol
i knew i shouldnt have put that admin option in… 2 bogus and well i dont know what to call ur vote wiro.

well i would love to participate in a NURBS modeling channel… that certianly doesnt exclude rhino it only builds on what we are trying to set up.

wiro are you able to talk to somebody??? in the meantime please dont stop voting

#28

I’ve started a Rhino forum:
http://www.cgtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=174

Please please please - get all your friends to come and use this forum. It needs enough activity on it to justify its existence. If some of you could please go to the respective Rhino communities and newsgroups, and point people to this new forum, that’d be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Leonard
