Course Duration: 40 hours
Tuition: $1800 USD
Overview:
During this Rhino level 1 training course students will learn about surface modeling and discuss general modeling approaches relating specifically to Rhino 3D Software. In this class you’ll learn to create and edit accurate and free-form 3-D NURBS curves and surfaces. This fast-moving class covers most of Rhino’s functionality, including the most advanced surfacing commands. In this comprehensive five day class you’ll learn to create and modify accurate and free-form 3-D NURBS models. The last day of this class also includes one day of Flamingo, Vray or Maxwell rendering instruction.
Prerequisite: Industrial Design degree or CAD experience helpful but not necessary.
