COURSE INTRODUCTION

This bundle includes:
Learning Rhino 4 (Beginners Course) - 9.5 hrs / 83 Lessons
Learning Rhino 4 Advanced Techniques - 8 hrs / 87 Lessons

In this Rhino 4 training video, Expert author and designer Brian DiNola introduces you to this powerful 3D modeling software.  This bundle contains the beginners course Learning Rhino 4, and the Advanced Rhino Techniques training course, which takes you even further towards mastering this incredible software.

Starting with the basics, Brian quickly gets you familiar with the Rhino 4 interface, and almost immediately brings you up to speed with applying what you are learning.  Covering topics such as NURBS Objects, Transformations, Extrusions, Curves, and much more, you will complete the first course completely comfortable with Rhino.  In the Advance Techniques video tutorial, you dive further into managing your 3D objects, working with mesh, blocks, and even advanced command scripting, RhinoScript and VBScripting.  Following the model of the first video, you will apply what you learn through a series of object building exercises.

By the completion of both the Beginners and Advanced video based training courses, you will be fully capable of creating complex and complete 3D models for business or fun.  Extensive working files are included to allow you to practice and replicate exactly what the author is showing you to do.


Benefits of this Software Training:
 •  Tuition by expert tutors.
 •  Narrated training videos demonstrate the key tools and professional techniques
        helping you to work faster and smarter.
