Yes, you read that right. Just the head. I'm trying to recreate a hallway in the museum where I used to work. Whenever I walked down a certain corridor and turned a certain corner, even though I knew it was there, I'd invariably be startled by a giant rhino head mounted over an arch. It was on one of the floors where "tourists" weren't allowed to go...probably a legacy of the museum's unsavory past that it would rather forget. That or something put there deliberately to mess with young interns like me!
Yes, I am an odd one, but I didn't put it there in the first place!
Many thanks in advance, as always. -Mike

Just checked out bloodsong's images. That's a really good looking rhino (and bloodsong's pretty amazing too ;-) ). Who is/are Vista? -Mike

DAZ sells a rhino. I haven't seen any others.

Who is/are Vista?
Vista Internet Products, I assume. Lyne Masamitsu and Debra Ross sell a number of animal figures there, but no rhinos.
Imagination Works has a rhino. About the same price as DAZ, although I can't vouch for quality.

Wyrwulf: thanks. I hadn't even thought to look at DAZ...
Little Dragon: thanks for the tip about Imagination Works. Looks pretty cool, but I think the DAZ one is probably a little closer to the one I had in mind. Thanks too for info about Vista - their stuff looks great!
Looks like I'm going to be spending some money again (sigh) ;-) -Mike

LittleDragon, I figure that I'm one of those annoying NPC characters in games that gives only vague information :) Thanks for clearing up the confusion ... like usual

Isn't there a rhino head in every modelling tutorial disc that comes with any modelling program ever? I know Max has one as it's spline-cage-patch-modifier modelling tut, and -- well, I can't really imagine Rhino wouldn't have one...

Dodger: thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, I don't have Rhino or Max... -Mike

Oh, well, I'd give it to you but I'm sure it would in some way be an obscure copyright violation.

I expect so...still, the fact that you'd even consider potentially criminal activity for my sake is really rather heartwarming...just kidding ;-) -Mike

Bryde: That's a very interesting collection! Lots of other useful-looking stuff in addition to the rhino. Many thanks for the tip. -Mike

You are welcome!

Oh, I wouldn't, really. It's just that if it is a copyright violation it's rather an absurd one, since it would be protection of a model that's the result of steps taken in a tutorial, where the information that is really the subject at hand is the tut, not the result. Sort of like if you were legally prevented from selling a dress you made from a Simplicity or McCall's pattern. Or like signing a non-disclosure/non-comp agreement before taking a college class, so you can learn but you can't use what you learned.
