One of the interesting aspects of the program, and reasons for widespread use among many industries is the vast import and export options within the program. The import and export options allow for Rhino to act as a 'converter' tool which often allows other programs to communicate with each other.
Rhino 3D is becoming increasingly popular amongst many different industries because of its diversity, and multi-disciplinary functions.

Rhinoceros3D is a stand-alone, commercial NURBS-based modeling tool, originally developed by Robert McNeel and Associates as a plug-in for Autodesk's AutoCAD.
Rhino 3D is becoming increasingly popular amongst many different industries because of its diversity, multi-disciplinary functions, and relatively low cost.
The Rhino 3D program was originally distributed as an open Beta available for free.
Just as with Bryce 4 my experience with Rhinoceros3D (commonly called Rhino) showed me that computer graphics programs could be stable, capable and easy to use, allowing you to concentrate on what you want to create more than the hurdles in your way.
Realsoft 3D has a true NURBS render that is quite good so it is a very good choice for animating and rendering NURBS models built in Rhino but the third party conversion plug-in costs roughly $200.
Houdini is supposed to be up there in quality with Maya and one of their people told me it has all sorts of cool ways that MIDI and audio can be used interactively with the animation and texture data.
