176: ‘The Rhinoceros Story’, with Scott Davidson
In this special Campfire Series episode, Scott Davidson joins the podcast to tell us the incredible origin story of Rhino. What began as a simple AutoCAD plugin in the early 90s evolved into something much bigger through an unexpected series of events. Scott shares the surprising story behind how Rhino got its name, its journey from industrial design to architecture, and how an accidental "leak" helped shape the software's destiny. We also discuss how some of architecture's biggest names, including Frank Gehry, discovered and adopted Rhino early on, leading to its widespread use in complex geometric design and digital fabrication today.To learn more about Scott Davidson, see the full show notes with links at https://trxl.co/176To get more great conversations with AEC technology leaders on the TRXL podcast please visit https://trxl.co----Episode Sponsors: TRXL+ MembershipThis episode of TRXL is brought to you by TRXL+ members!
