This video tutorial is intended for those who wish to expand their surfacing knowledge using Rhino 3D. A step by step video showing the many tools that are at your disposal to create a complex assembly using an X bow ship as the subject of studies. After surfacing the ship s hull we will learn about using blocks and how to update them and finally we will spend time doing a rendering using Vray for Rhino.
