The course contains both intermediate and advanced level material and concentrates on explaining NURBS topology in more detail before moving on to practical examples demonstrating efficient modelling techniques, modelling strategy and advanced surfacing.

Target Audience:

Although the class follows a clearly defined structure there is scope for trainees to discuss individual work examples and work on live project examples. This course is the ideal step-up for professionals working in the following industries:

Product Design
Furniture Design
Jewellery Design
Artists and Sculptors
Film and TV | Set Design
POS and Structural Packaging
Automotive Industries

Course Structure:

This comprehensive class starts with a refresher on Rhino basics before moving on to an understanding of NURBS topology. This understanding is then applied to a number of exercises detailing the creation of clean, optimised geometry and controlled freeform shapes.

Modelling strategy is covered in a number of ways including an exercise taking a project from initial hand drawn sketches through to a 3D block model and finally a fully detailed shelled model with ribs, bosses and production features. Strategies to manage large models are examined along with tips for exporting and importing data. The creation of 2D drawing information is also explained along with a special section on creating STL files for rapid prototypes and 3D printing. Various presentation and rendering processes are also considered.

This is a 6 x 3.5 hour session course.
