Rhino
Training Courses: Nurbs Modeling
+Rhino Level 1
one week
Course Duration: 40 hours
Tuition 40 hour workshop: $1800.00 US
Overview: During our Rhino training course,
students will learn about surface modeling and discuss general modeling
approaches relating specifically to Rhino 3D Software. In this class you'll
learn to create and edit accurate and free-form 3-D NURBS curves and surfaces.
This fast-moving class covers most of Rhino's functionality, including
the most advanced surfacing commands. In this comprehensive five day class
you'll learn to create and modify accurate and free-form 3-D NURBS modeling.
The last day of this class also includes one day of Flamingo or Maxwell
rendering instruction.
Prerequisite: Industrial Design degree
or CAD experience helpful but not necessary.
