Take a course at the Rhinoacademie. We provide Rhino courses, Rhino and 3D printing courses and Grasshopper courses. We are located at the new building of the Rhinoacademie, the old water tower in Leerdam.
On a regular basis from now on, we will publish short Rhinotutorials to teach you more about working with Rhino. We will take a simple object and show you how to build it in Rhino, giving you an idea of what the course is like. During the course, the program will be explained from start to finish, and we will delve into all the techniques. Everything will be explained using our book, Working with Rhinoceros. Over the course of three days, you will work more independently. After three days, you will be able to move forward on your own.”
The video tutorials are in Dutch for now. The English video’s will follow soon
Rhinoacademie tutorial 1
A Napkin Ring
The first in a series of tutorials from the Rhinoacademie, showing how you can learn Rhino at the Rhinoacademie and how easy and fun it is to work with Rhino. In this tutorial, we build a napkin ring. You’ll get to know how to draw a Control Point Curve, how to extrude the curve, how to edit the extrusion and offset, a technique to give a surface thickness. Michiel will also show two other ways to achieve the same result, once with Sweep one Rail, and again with Rail Revolve. Have fun!
Rhinoacademie tutorial 2
A Pencil
The second of a series of turorials from the Rhinoacademie, showing how you can learn Rhino at the Rhinoacademie and how easy and fun it is to work with Rhino. In this tutorial we’re going to build a Pencil. You’ll get to know how to draw a curve again, how to extrude the curve to a solid. Then you will work with a boolean oparation, a well used technique with which you can edit a solid with another solid. Visit www.rhinoacademie.com for more tutorials. Enjoy!
Rhinoacademie tutorial 3
A Bust
The third of a series of turorials from the Rhinoacademie, showing how you can learn Rhino at the Rhinoacademie and how easy and fun it is to work with Rhino. In this tutorial we’re going to build a Bust. You’ll get to know how to draw curves again, this time you make a loft with these curves. We are making another extruded surface and then bind everything togehter with a wonderful technique, called Blend surface. With a blend, you can make one surface flow into the ther one, so to speak, and make it into one object. Enjoy
Rhinoacademie tutorial 4
A Clothes hanger
The fourth of a series of turorials from the Rhinoacademie, showing how you can learn Rhino at the Rhinoacademie and how easy and fun it is to work with Rhino. In this tutorial we’re going to build a Clothes hanger. You’ll get to know how to draw curves again, and this time you make a number of extrusions with these curves. The hook is built with a command called Solid – Pipe. Thereafter Michiel shows another way of building the hanger, with the Sweep 2 Rails command. Just to show you that there are several ways of getting an object built in Rhino. Something in which you can develop your own preference. Enjoy!
Rhinoacademie tutorial 5
A Tangled Rope
The fifth of a series of tutorials from the Rhinoacademie, showing how you can learn Rhino at the Rhinoacademie and how easy and fun it is to work with Rhino. In this tutorial we’re going to build a tangled rope. It is quite a good way to get to learn how to work in all four viewports at the same time. This time, you’ll draw a curve of which you change the position of the vertices in different viewports. You’ll get to know how to draw a curve along a curve, how to use a graphical display of a pipe in order to check things, and after that use solid pipe again. Enjoy!
Rhinoacademie tutorial 6
A Panton Chair
The sixt of a series of tutorials from the Rhinoacademie, showing how you can learn Rhino at the Rhinoacademie and how easy and fun it is to work with Rhino. In this tutorial we’re going to build the beginning of the Panton Chair. It is quite a good way to get to learn how to work with Loft, Sweep 2 Rails and especially producing a Curve Network. This time, you’ll draw curves. Curves you copy from a picture you can just download on the internet. You’ll get to know how to get curves from a surface, how to use History in a very handy way and build the first part of the chair. Enjoy!
