Modeling, visualization, and design of Evil Lab set
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
- Some of the Nut Room was originally designed in Rhino
FlightPlan (2005)
- Almost the entire aircraft, minus the galleys and cargo hold (although in some cases [nose cone, attic], rough shape and size models where generated, then broken off to others [hand drafters] to complete the construction documents). Exterior of aircraft, including a HD-SLA for the toy plane prop. The inclusion of blocks in Rhino Version 3 made the process of modeling the interior much easier, as I could keep separate files of the window panels, center panels, isle panels, and seats as separate files. As each component changed, I just changed the respective file, then updated the master, which would update all 72 rows of the plane (upper and lower decks, in case you were wondering how 72 rows could fit in a plane) in one shot.
- Be sure to check out the Trailer link, then click on “Watch a Sneak Peek” to see some great footage of the plane. Also, the Rhino model will soon be showing up under the “Explore Aalto Air E-474”
- Be sure to stick around for the end credits: Not only to see all the people who labored on the film, but the model they flip all around behind the credits was almost entirely build in Rhino (really the only exception is the interior of the engine, I know they aren't build like that ;) ) then passed to Maya for meshing and surface destruction. Also, a lot of the TV promo spots used this model to render out some of the high contrast interior shots.
Fantastic Four (2005)
Serenity (2005)
- Rhino was used to help detail and build the spaceship the Mule.
Lords of Dogtown (2005)
Lords of Dogtown 'The Pier' and surrounding destroyed architecture was designed in Rhino, and then built south of San Diego on the border of Mexico to look like the old pier of Venice, Ca.

Most sets were built in Rhino for a virtual tour before being approved for construction. Otto's Lab was heavily modeled and analysed inside of Rhino.

Overall shape of terminal. Individual shops were then broken out to separate designers.
The Cat in the Hat (2003)
http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/thecatinthehat/
All town signage statues, parts of transformed house. Rhino was used heavily in both the modeling, then to section the models up (typically every 2'-0“). The sections were then plotted full size, where the sculptors transferred that to bead foam for carving. The bead foam was then given a hard coat, painted, glossed, and believe it or not, it was at that point walkable!
X2 (2003)
The X-jet exterior and the interior cockpit and various other sets (Danger Room) were modeled in Rhino.
