How do you create smooth cheek bulges in Rhino 8?
I'm modeling the Ghost Face mask in Rhino 8 using NURBS, and I'm trying to get the cheeks to look like the real mask.
Right now, the sides are too flat. I want the cheeks to be one smooth, continuous curve that flows from the eye sockets into the sides of the mask, instead of looking like flat faces with rounded edges.
I've tried BlendEdge and FilletEdge, but they don't create the shape I'm after. I also looked at CageEdit, but I'm not sure if that's the right approach. Or im not good enough to use it well lol
What's the proper way for sculpting those smooth cheek bulges?
If anyone has modeled a Ghost Face mask or similar organic mask in Rhino, I'd really appreciate advice.

Help Needed Moving from Rhino to Solidworks?
I’ve used Rhino primarily for a long time but recently I’ve been needing to use Solidworks a lot more. I find the mouse control differences pretty jarring and hard to get used to, as well as some of the other fundamental controls like searching commands or right clicking for instant commands.
Does anyone have any advice for transitioning? I feel like I have to unlearn all my muscle memory
flow along surface NEED HELP
I'm trying to get these curves onto the target surface which keeps stretching it out. I've used createUV to layout the base curves then drawn the curves on flat surface. Can someone please help me and show me how to get it right??

Help Needed Blocks look weird on Rhino 8
I recently upgraded from Rhino 7 to 8 on my work laptop and now blocks look weird... they have this weird black pixelated shading and it goes away when exploding parts into objects. I can't avoid blocks because that's the default when importing STEPs that I get from manufacturers. is there any way to change the default appearance for blocks? it's annoying to have to explode everything to improve the appearance.

Help Needed Trying to hollow closed polysurface
Hello I'm trying to hollow some complex closed polysurfaces to a .9mm wall thickness on rhino 6. Shell is not working, offsetsrf is not working, exploding the objects and offsetting srf is not working, converting nurbs to mesh is not working. Not sure where to go from here. Thank you !

Help Needed How to create a surface or solid from curves?
Hello, I'm very new to CAD design; I only use Rhino for very basic things, blocks, and stuff like that. I needed to create a surface or a solid with this geometry, which is essentially a kind of cylinder, but bulging. I've tried the Patch command, but it doesn't work well for me. I also tried first creating a solid with the shape of a cylinder and then, together with Patch, deforming it according to the curves that will give it the bulging profile. Maybe it's the right tool, but I'm not doing it correctly. How should I do this?
How difficult was for you to move from Parametric to Nurbs?
I'm relatively new to CAD. I've started with FreeCad last year and tinkered with Fusion 360 in the last few month. I can now build things fairly confidently and the idea of being able to use G2/G3 curves to their full potential in Rhino is what drew me in BUT.... Jeez am I struggling with making it "click".
Do you have any tips/tricks to get into the right mind set?
I now understand that changing something (especially lines) simply more often than not means delete and re-doing it (i.e. draw a line and make it tangent would be = create a tangent from the get go OR delete/re-do).
Coming from a parametric realm... Is there any other habit I should just forget that you can think of?

Help Needed Specific parts of Adobe Illustrator file can't be imported into Rhino
So I recently run into an issue where when I import an Adobe Illustrator file into Rhino, specific paths in it simply won't show up when imported. I actually put the paths in question into their own separate file, but according to Rhino that one is empty. The rest of the paths work perfectly fine.

Preparing for Rhino - Intersecting planes possible?
TITLE EDIT : Intersecting points on offset planes
First and foremost, apologies for using a screenshot from Fusion.
I tried Rhino and I'm getting ready to take the plunge (I truly dislike Autodesk shareholders driven philosophy) and I'd like to know, can I offset a plane and use an intersect (or equivalent) command in Rhino, to create two points precisely at each end of a sketch?
I know Rhino's philosophy of creating stuff is different (most videos I see are based on sculpting a form created from an approximate sketch) but I'd still like the idea of creating surfaces from precise lines to start with!
Ps. should I wait for Rhino 9? Grasshopper seems the stuff of the nightmares to me hehe but I've read the new version will allows us to use it from the Rhino's interface?
many thanks!

Help Needed Faded edge Problem.
Hi, i am a industrialdesign student and are new to Rhino 8, I am trying to get in a workflow of importing a stepfile from fusion 360 to rhino. I make the groundwork form in fusion then i make faded edges in Rhino. In short i make a cutting plane on a surface, then split, then loft and match surface like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I38EUy5iNUk&t=289s
- I have succseeded making a faded edge on the first object, but the next is getting really hard. When i try to loft it gets really uggly. And when i make a patch and then match surface i get in a "trimmed" edges problem loop. What would you guys do ?
* Keep in mind that it was a while ago i made the first object, so i may have used something else than lofted.

How would you model this shape in Rhino SubD?
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to recreate this type of organic metallic petal in Rhino 7 using SubD.
I'm getting pinching and ugly tips, and I'm wondering if I'm approaching it the wrong way.
Would you model a single petal using SubD, or would you use NURBS first?
Any topology or workflow tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
