Beginning Rhino 3D Modeling

Today we begin using a program called Rhinoceros 4.0 -- a 3d modeling program which is used in a variety of industries around the world.  Rhino is used in automotive design, marine design, jewelry design, shoe design, etc.

You can download a trial version (which is limited to 25 saves) here: http://download.rhino3d.com/rhino/4.0/eval/

Check out a gallery of designs made with Rhino here: http://gallery.rhino3d.com/Default.asp?language=&g=1

To begin with, we're going to be opening a file and copying (CTRL+C) and pasting (CTRL+V) different pieces to build a small castle.

To begin with:
  • Go to HELP > Learn Rhino > Open Tutorial Models > Level 1
  • Open Start.3dm
The following links open the Rhino Level 1 Training Manual and the Rhino Level 2 Training Manual.  We will be doing some projects out of these books.


LEVEL 1  /  LEVEL 2 (Level 2 Manual is Currently Offline)
You can download the manuals from the Rhino site as well.
