COMPLETE RHINO 3D (v8) + D5 base for Architects & Designers

Unroll a 3d surface to 2d, draw patterns and textures, and flow them back onto the 3d form using rhino 8’s unroll surface and flow along surface.

Explore how to use the record history tool in Rhino to create and edit complex 3D curves from plan and elevation views, then loft or patch surfaces for geometry.

Merge site and project files in Rhino 3D to create a unified model, align to north, and place the tower on a flat surface using set point and plan view.

Demonstrates creating a tree-like canopy in Rhino 8 using a point grid, center symmetry, and pipe modeling with consistent radii to form a tapered, branchy structure for architectural visuals.

Explore quick, Rhino-based strategies to create diagrid canopies on double curved surfaces, using torus, contour, hatch grids, and cell last for efficient, laser-cuttable structures.

Learn how to use flow and revolve in Rhino 3D to bend a bench along a reference and target curve, adjusting stretch, rigidity, and block populations for efficient curve-based layouts.

Explore Rhino boolean operations—difference, union, split, and intersection—and two objects mode, including multi-object selection for faster results. Learn how unions produce a single object and splits create pieces.

Explore Rhino 3D transformation tools: twist, bend, taper, and shear, covering axis selection, infinite rotation, and applying transformations to complex geometries for architecture and molds.

Navigate the D5 platform, use assets, materials, environments, and hdri, and manage camera, layers, and rendering settings for architectural visuals.

Apply materials in D5 rendering alongside Rhino workflow by optimizing performance with object hiding, mapping textures, adjusting UVs, emissive lighting, and creating custom textures for lighting and glass thickness.

Learn to use the path tool to animate people and vehicles, adjust density and slope drops, and set lighting for lifelike renders in Rhino 3D (v8) with D5 base.

Select a 2D camera angle to keep lines straight, then use D5 in photo or animation modes, adjusting focal length, aspect ratio, size, and layers for reflections, transparency, and IDs.

Master Rhino display modes to refine viewports and renderings for diagram-style visuals. Use set object display mode, per view, and edge controls to create clean, editable diagrams.

Explore how to create and edit line types in Rhino 8, including custom patterns, taper settings, cap and joint options, and how display modes affect dashed lines in renderings.

Master Rhino layouts by distinguishing display versus print colors, mastering layout templates, detail views and scales, and implementing hatch, dimension and annotation practices for accurate plan presentations.
