"Almost all of it is, although some features are missing in Rhino."

"This is what I do, try this in this order:   - First look at the Brazil for Rhino help - If is not enough download the Brazil for 3dsmax help from splutterfish.com - If you want a bit more detailed explanation for a particular effect…"
