Dragonfly Bubbleship Rhino Level 2

Dragonfly Bubbleship – Rhino Level 2

This course (Dragonfly Bubbleship – Rhino L.2) is for users familiar with Rhino 5. Recognized as an official level2 course, all trainees receive an Official McNeel Rhino level 2 Certificate upon completion. In this training course you will learn to create and edit accurate free form 3d NURBS models. This fast-moving class covers mainly advanced Rhino commands, focused on surface manipulation, continuity and intricate solid creation.
The course is intensive (16hrs) and spans two consecutive days (10:00 to 18:00). Each trainee receives the official Rhino level2 courseware as part of attending this course.

Case Study

At decode™ effective training is achieved via an intriguing goal by contrast of generic exercises. All the Rhino level 2 teaching material will be taught by modeling the Dragonfly Bubble ship from the movie Oblivion, designed by Daniel Simon. In a step by step modeling method, each student will be guided through the experience of completing a challenging and interesting design project, and managing to use commands in synergy through various techniques.

Expected Outcomes

After this course (Dragonfly Bubbleship – Rhino L.2) the student is expected to be able to:

• Identify when free form or precision modelling is required
• Create and edit curves, surfaces, and solids
• Use modelling aids for accuracy
• Acieve professional level surface combinations and analysis

Target Audience

This course (Dragonfly Bubbleship – Rhino L.2) is for the design professional who wants to efficiently hone his skills on the Rhinoceros modelling software at an accelerated pace in an instructor-led environment.

Pre-requisites

Requires Windows skills and desire to model. Previous drafting and modelling experience in Rhino necessary. For achieving best results from this course participants should have already finished one of our level1 courses and be using Rhino for at least two months.

Curriculum

At decode™ effective training is achieved via an intriguing goal by contrast of generic exercises. All the Rhino level 2 teaching material will be taught by modeling the Dragonfly Bubbleship from the movie Oblivion, designed by Daniel Simon. In a step by step modeling way each student will be guided through the experience of completing a challenging and interesting design project, and managing to use commands in synergy through various techniques, just like a professional would.

Precision Modelling

Use surface constraints to model easily and accurately. Move off the x-y plane and use viewports to establish the current construction plane. Draw accurate curves on surface and build your methodology towards intricate solids.

• Understand Curve Degree
• Work with Curve and Surface Continuity
• Use Curvature Graph
• Use Zebra Analysis for Surfaces
• Matching Surface continuity
• Add Knots to control surface matching
• Surface Blend Options
• Fillets, Blends and Corners

Followed by more on Surface Editing

Use edit commands to produce complex and detailed variations on the Surfaces.

• Surface protrusions and Insets
• Creased Surfaces
• Curve fairing to control Surface Quality
• Cage Editing in Parts
• Smooth Transitions from Crease to Uniform Surfaces
• Deformations and Surface Tween

Advanced Surfacing and Solids

Model with solids and solid text using History. Use Boolean tools to shape your model. Extrude, loft, and revolve curves into surfaces. Use sweeps to create additional surfaces. Use advanced surfacing techniques like blend, match, and surface from network of curves.

• Activating history
• Steps in the history chain
• History – enabled commands
• History – related commands
• Block instances and definitions
• Block Insertion, embedded and linked blocks
• Editing Blocks
