Course content

8 sections23 lectures4h 27m total length
  • Introduction1:58

    Begin with a solid Rhino 3D foundation and learn to turbocharge modeling with AI tools like ChatGPT, then explore Grasshopper and parametric design for beginners.

  • Familiarisation1:36
  • Commands2:31

    Master the Rhino seven command line to access and execute commands, use the box command to create a cube from the world origin, and shift for a square base.

  • Viewports and Navigation1:08

    Explore viewports and navigation by switching from wireframe to shaded, double-clicking perspective to maximize the window, then orbiting, panning with shift, and zooming with the mouse wheel.

  • Movement and Manipulation4:04
  • Layers4:11

    Learn how layers organize geometry by creating copies, assigning objects to multiple layers, color-coding layers, and using visibility and lock controls to focus and protect parts of a model.

Description

Taught by a Graduate Architect with nearly a decade of experience using Rhino 3D, the course begins with an introduction into the software looking at the user interface and basics of 2D and 3D modelling. From there, more complex commands will be taught as well as providing practical examples on how to combine and utilize the commands and techniques learnt.

Following this, we will learn the foundations of Grasshopper, a parametric design plugin for Rhino. Similarly, we will walk through practical examples as a way to concretise the content within the lessons.

From this solid foundation, we will investigate how to utilise AI models such as ChatGPT in order to generate and refine our models using basic python code. These lessons will ultimately allow us to use image references to produce editable models within Rhino and Grasshopper.

At the conclusion of this course, students will not only be proficient in the basics of Rhino and grasshopper, but also possess in-demand knowledge about how to integrate the power of AI tools into 3D modelling workflows.

This course sits at the intersection of well established tools and novel and emerging technologies. It is a must for those looking to jumpstart their skills with 3D design!

Who this course is for:

  • This is a course for those that want a concise introduction into the world of 3D modelling, leveraging AI tools to generate and iterate on designs
