Kick off a fast-track Rhino 3D modelling journey from beginner to advanced with a warm welcome to the Rhinoceros course.
Master Rhino with a fast-track course that starts from 2D drawing basics and translates ideas into precise 3D models for architecture, design, and visualization.
Discover how the Rhino course is structured into four sections, guiding you from an introduction to 2d and 3d modeling and exporting 3d models.
Stay connected with the instructor to get guidance and feedback as you advance through the Rhino beginner to advanced fast track 3d modelling course.
Learn how to install rhino on Windows or Mac, obtain your license key via email, and activate the program by pasting the key into the rhino license field.
Explore the Rhino initial window, including file, insert, export, properties, view, and render menus, and learn to access panels, units, and shortcuts.
Explore Rhino's left sidebars and panels for curves, surfaces, solids, and measures. Organize your model with layers and properties, and customize display, render, libraries, and the viewport color.
Master Rhino viewports and object snaps to model from four perspectives, toggle between views, and apply near, midpoint, center, intersection, and perpendicular snaps with gumball, ortho, plane, and grid snap.
Discover how to use the Rhino properties menu to set units and scale, manage document properties and Rhino options, annotation styles, grids, hatch patterns, and line types.
Master the Rhino view tab to switch between wireframe, shaded, rendered, ghosted, x-ray, and other visualization modes, and place cameras for exact perspectives.
Learn how to print and save Rhino drawings as PDFs, choose destinations, page sizes, and vector or raster outputs. Master margins, scales, colors, line widths, and visibility for clean prints.
Define 2d foundations and plinth beams for a house; set tearing and silhouette, place 15 cm by 60 cm columns, and connect bases with 30 cm beams, preparing 3d modeling.
Model 3D foundations and beams from a floor plan by creating surfaces, extruding curves, mirroring symmetry, and capping to form solid bases.
Combine the 2d and 3d foundations to create a ground layer and concrete subfloor. Extrude and cap surfaces, subtract intersections, and add a second concrete floor as the base.
Designs outer and inner walls and structural columns in a two-level house, modeling slabs and concrete floor, extruding, offsetting, copying, lofting, and capping surfaces for a complete 3D model.
Design balcony railings in two and three dimensions, create a balcony railings layer, divide curves into seven and four parts, and extrude bases with glass components for rendering.
Design window openings on a two-level house by creating a dedicated windows layer, placing and resizing openings with make hole and trimming techniques, then applying glass materials for rendering.
Model window frames and glass interiors in Rhino by outlining openings, offsetting frames to define width, then using the make whole command, trim, and extrude to finalize frames and glass.
Model the staircase in two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms, using a staircase layer and 17 steps at 18 cm height, then extrude and cap to a single surface, with glass railings.
Model exterior features in 3d by shaping grass on a concrete subfloor, extruding curves for a 15x9 pool with a 1 meter deck, then apply timber cladding and a fence.
Convert 3d models to 2d drawings by selecting a viewport perspective, turning off hidden lines, enabling tangent edges, and saving named views for quick reuse.
The "Rhino Beginner to Advanced 3D Modelling" course covers the essentials and complete structure of 3D modeling with Rhinoceros program. This course is designed to guide students with zero or low familiarity of 3D modelling in rhino to an advanced level in the technique of modeling in just a matter of hours. This course will guide you through four main categories which will assure your complete understanding of Rhino modelling:
1. Introduction: This section will show you a precise overview of how the course is organized (sections and sub sections), what you will be learning, and getting to know your instructor.
2. Becoming Familiar with Rhino: This section will ensure a complete understanding of Rhino's main default menu, which includes many tab configurations, side bars and panels, viewports, properties, etc... The idea is to give an overview of how the Rhinoceros program organizes all of it's functions and commands in order to give the user knowledge and a complete understanding of all the potentials that Rhino has in relation to the upcoming technologies.
3. Modelling a house - 2D and 3D construction: This section will go through the process of modelling a house in 2D and 3D, with all of the key elements that an architectural construction requires; by these means, these include: Foundations, plinth beams, subfloor concrete and ground levels, inner and outer walls, access points, beams, slabs, ceilings, roofs, windows openings and exterior features. At the end of this section, the user will have a complete understanding of the different techniques and methods in order to model a house from scratch.
4. Representation and exporting of 3D models: This section will emphasize in teaching the user which are the most precise, acurate, rigorous and interesting ways one can show, export or present a final product. This section will go through different methods of representation which include 2D line drawings (from a variety of different perspectives) and 3D model renderized representations. This section will also teach the user how to use render materials in 3D models in order to render models and have a realistic representation of an architectural/design/structural model.
