In this track, you can expect to learn the very basics and essentials of mdeling in Rhinoceros 3D a commonly user
software in professional practice.
Rhino 3D uses (NURBS) as a method of modeling (Non-uniform rational basis spline.) A mathematical model
commonly used to represent curves and surfaces. Essentially, NURBS are mathematical models commonly
utilized within the 3D environment for creating and defining curves and surfaces offering flexibility and precision for
handling both analytic and modeled shapes.
For this reason, Rhino 3D can be wildly different from other 3D modeling programs. Specifically, programs that use
Polygon Modelling methods. Which are just as common (Ex. Solidworks). Neither is better than the other, they are
used according to need. NURBS tend to be better for free-flowing organic forms. Using NURBS, physically
impossible shapes can be created. Whereas, Polygonal can be better for more practical forms used in
manufacturing applications.
The one thing to be wary of before we begin is that the Rhino interface will look very different on a mac as
opposed to a PC. However, the difference is not drastic enough that it will hinder your learning experience. Most
buttons, bells, and whistles will translate fairly smoothly between the two operating systems.
If at any time you are stuck at a portion, leave a comment on the instructional video and/or blog and it is safe to
say most creators will get back to you quickly in hopes of better marketing their content.
