Rhino for Beginners
Description
During this course, participants with any level of 3D modeling experience will form a foundational knowledge of working in Rhino. Rhino For Beginners is a fast-moving class which will teach you much more than the basics; you will learn best practices for direct modeling with NURBS Surfaces and a deeper understanding of how Rhino can enable you to design better. By the end of the course, you will have the ability to understand surface modeling at a higher level and be prepared to push your learning further in Design Engine courses such as Advanced Rhino & Surfacing, Grasshopper, Rhino for Jewelry, and Rendering with Rhino and Keyshot. This course is also perfect for those coming from other programs such as Creo, Solidworks, Modo or Alias. When scheduling the course, mention you would like ‘Transition Training for Rhino’.
