RHINO 3D CAD & GRASSHOPPER TRAINING SCHEDULE
Why take our training? (instead of leaning by your own)
Self-training in Rhino 3D CAD can sometimes take months and years and many people feel very frustrated. In our training, you will learn solid foundation with logic and case by case problem solving skills which you can't find in YouTube or online Rhino courses.
You will be comfortable using the program after taking our class in less than a month.
Online class is "Live" and there are lots of interactions during the class.
Screen share and mouse/keyboard control are enabled. You can get help remotely, just like an in-person
class. All the sessions will be recorded and you will be able to review the video for your practice.

RHINO TRAINING
Introductory Class
This class is designed to create familiarity and build solid foundation with Rhino 7. You'll learn to create and edit accurate free-form 3-D NURBS models. Class covers most of Rhino's functionality, including the most advanced surfacing commands. Class use jewelry as geometry however professionals in other field can benefit from the class. You will learn step-by-step 2D drawings and 3D modeling with various exercises and strategies. Lots of supported digital materials such as tutorial Rhino files, various stone templates and cutters, etc. are provided for your use.
Intermediate Class
(Jewelry modeling/Create jewelry portfolio with KeyShot 10)
This class is designed for people who are already familiar with basic 3D modeling with Rhino. We will go over how to create jewelry models with various exercises such as engagement ring, halo ring and bypass ring with different type of settings.
Lots of practical tips, short cuts and tricks are introduced during the class to help your workflow.
Also introducing photo realistic rendering with KeyShot. KeyShot is everything you need to create amazing visuals fast. The real-time 3D rendering workflow displays results instantly and reduces the time it takes to create realistic product shots. From scientifically accurate material and environment presets to advanced material editing and animation, creating interactive product visuals or sales and marketing imagery has never been easier. Post processing in Photoshop is also covered.
Create impressive jewelry portfolio with KeyShot!
GRASSHOPPER TRAINING
Introduction to Generative Jewelry Design
This class will give you a functional understanding of Grasshopper concepts and parametric design.
Learn and explore how Grasshopper generates unprecedented fluidity and automated tasks to go further the design process, allowing for much greater speed with working on complicated and repeating forms. Grasshopper creates parametric modeling to automate production, new forms, shapes, patterns and your own interfaces. It is only possible with the algorithmic modeling.
