Concha Acoustica – Rhino Lvl 1

Concha Acoustica by Oscar Niemeyer – Rhino Lvl 1

This course is for anyone new to Rhino 6. In this training course you will learn to create and edit accurate free form 3d NURBS models. This fast-moving class covers most of Rhino’s functionality, including the most advanced surfacing commands. You will systematically move through the user interface, command access, creation and editing of curves, surfaces and solids. The course is intensive (16hrs) and spans two consecutive days (10:00 to 18:00). Each trainee receives the official 260 page courseware as part of attending this course.

Recognized as an official introductory course, all trainees receive an Official McNeel Rhino level 1 Certificate upon completion.

Case Study

At decode™ effective training is achieved via an intriguing goal by contrast of generic exercises. All the Rhino level 1 teaching material will be taught modeling by alternating between small and large scale, studying cases in the fields of Architecture, industrial design and fine arts. Main exercise will be the iconic “Concha Acoustica, 1969l (https://divisare.com/projects/308516-gonzalo-viramonte-oscar-niemeyer-concha-acoustica-1969 )“,designed by the pioneer of modern architecture in Brazil, Oscar Niemeyer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Niemeyer) whichstands in Praça Duque de Caxias, near to the obelisk dedicated to the patron of Brazilian Army and just in front of the Quartel General do Exército. Inspired by the unbuild monument dedicated to Ruy Barbosa, Concha Acoustica is an acoustic chamber which reflects and simultaneously enhances sound produced inside.  

Case Study 2

The basic knowledge and modeling tools as well as the familiarization of Rhino’s graphic environment will be taught through works of  the Brazilian sculptor ( Amílcar Augusto Pereira de Castro – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Am%C3%ADlcar_de_Castro ) 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 for the completion of this elaborate design endeavor, in a professional manner. While working on this case study, the modeling steps of the following concepts will be covered:

• Get acquainted with the Rhino screen and menus
• Navigate around the Rhino model
• Create 2-D lines, polylines, and NURBS curves
• Modelling set-up and mode functions: snap, ortho and planar constraints
• Object snaps and Smart Track
• Fast 3-D solids and surfaces
• The Rhino layering system

Precision Modelling

Use co-ordinates and constraints to model easily and accurately. Move off the x-y plane and use viewports to establish the current construction plane. Draw polygons and ellipses. Use free-form curves and compare interpolated and control points curves. Draw with absolute, relative rectangular, and polar co-ordinates Distance and angle constraints Viewports and construction planes Model in 3-D space Elevator mode Rectangle command and its options Point selection with object snaps Analysis commands: length, distance, angle, radius Draw circles and arcs Draw ellipses and polygon curves Model free-form curves Create helix and spiral curves

Intermediate Edit and Surfacing Commands

Learn additional editing commands and use them to build practice models. Reinforce concepts of model set-up and drawing accurate 2-D geometry to build precision 3-D shapes Introduction to NURBS modelling concepts and terminology Free-form curves Control point editing of curves and surfaces Rebuild curves and surfaces Create deformable shapes Curve creation through projection Split surfaces with curves and surfaces Blend between two surfaces Make 2D drawings from 3D Objects

Advanced Surfacing and Solids

Model with solids and solid text. 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. Create model primitives and solid text Model with pipe and extrude Modifying solids with Boolean Tools Surface properties and UV analysis Extrude and loft surfaces Revolve curves into surfaces Sweep 1 and 2 rail curves Surface with network of curves
