What you'll learn

Learn to use Rhino V8 ( or earlier versions ) through a hands on project.
You will learn to use Rhino's latest toolsets, NURBS surfacing tools as well as an introduction to Subdivison surfacing
If you want to follow along using V5 or V6 versions of Rhino feel free to do so.
From surfacing to creating layouts to rendering and I'll cover some Artificial Intelligence notions and show how it can help in the design phase.

Introduction3:26
02 Unit Setting11:36
03 Building the Atrium7:34
04 Extruding The Base10:00
05 Placing the Columns11:45
Place 12 columns of 2-meter diameter around the origin at 15 meters with a polar array; offset a point and array along the curve to form 12 by 12 square.
06 Auxilary CPlanes and Projecting Objects19:28
07 Auxilary CPlanes Continued11:43
08 Extruding Columns And Concrete Core11:26
09 Creating Layers9:01
Organize your Rhino project by creating and coloring layers and sublayers for construction curves, points, surfaces, columns, and atrium, using the selection filter to manage them.
10 Adding Floors15:38
In Rhino 8, create a floor from a planar curve, offset to 0.5 m (0.25 m), then array 138 floors at 3.5 m spacing while adjusting display and background.
11 Project Function and IPlane14:42
Learn how the project function and IPlane enable precise straight-line measurements and plane-based trimming in Rhino, and compare project versus non-project measurements to align floors with the blueprint.
12 Facade19:47
Create a glass facade in Rhino by extruding the facade curve, managing layers, and using a pop up toolbar to trim, join, and ghost surfaces with shading controls.
13 Create And Apply UV Curves18:56
Learn to create and apply uv curves on surfaces in Rhino, compare trim and Antrim surfaces, and project curves from control points to form a lattice facade with 3D piping.
14 Thickening The Rings14:28
15 Improving The Surface Quality23:57
16 Surfacing The Spire50:15
17 Finishing The Spire22:34
18 Adding The Elevator Shaft31:42
19 Boolean Difference And Edge Smoothing16:14
Apply fillets to round elevator shaft edges and explore how fillets interact with neighboring edges; learn to use boolean difference and surfacing workflows in Rhino V8.
20 Project And Pull12:41
21 Orient On Surface And Array Along Curve On Surf23:26
Create and place 3D ornaments on curved Rhino surfaces by orienting objects on the surface and distributing them along a curve with array along curve on surface.
22 Detailing And Match Curve21:54
Explore detailing and curve matching in Rhino 8 by extracting iso curves, arraying along surfaces, and refining with match curves, while adding lights and subdivision basics for realism.
23 Using Subds1:00:35
Explore subdivision modeling in Rhino using SubD tools to create organic forms. Start from primitives, edit with vertices, edges, and faces, and add detail with bevels, bridges, and insets.

25 Layout Part 233:07
26 Cleaning Up9:08
Learn to set up materials and lights in Rhino v8, manage clipping planes, switch between model and layout space, and clean up construction curves for rendering.

Requirements

This course is intended for beginner to intermediate level
This will get you ready and feel a ease using Rhino 3D.

Description

In this latest Rhino 3D Tutorials we'll learn, step by step, in creating a 3D skyscraper from layouts and instructional videos . We'll learn to use the extensive NURBS surfacing tools as well as getting a quick introduction to Subdivision surfacing available on Rhino V8. I also show on how I use the Rhino Render module and then move on to using Vray for Rhino version 6.1

This tutorial comes with all the necessary PDF and image files necessary to follow along.

This course is addressed for beginner level as well as intermediate level. It 's purpose is to expand even more your 3D know-how based on my previous Rhino 3D tutorials.

There are no prerequisites to do this course, even though learning the very basic tools on my Rhino 3D from beginner to advanced level can prove beneficial.

Whether you are an engineer, industrial designer, interior designer, architect or a hobbyist you will find this course useful.
If you don't own a license of Rhino V8 and wish to learn it , you can go to Rhino 3D's official website and download a free trial version for you to follow along.

This course has 39 lessons and is 14hr 00 min long.
If you wish to follow along either using V6 or V5 version of Rhino feel free to do so.

Who this course is for:

Industrial Designers, Engineers, Architects, Interior Designers, Illustrators, Hobbyists.
Anyone who has an inclination to become creative.
