Rhino 101

McNeel and Associates Rhino 3D is the motion picture industry standard for building digital sets.   This introductory Rhino class is geared to set designers, illustrators, prop makers, modelmakers and other craftspeople who will be using CG to create digital sets, props and models for use in film and television production.

As a sophisticated NURBS modeler it is used in the feature animation, live action, broadcast and video game industries to create digital environments, construct sets, props, vehicles, etc., as well as output other functions that allow an entire Art Department to create sets and models that can be laid up to plotters as precision drawings whose files can be shared and distributed easily. No other software package approaches its versatility in digital design.

This class will teach the essential commands you’ll need to know to be capable with Rhino CG. Over the course of 6 weeks, students will learn basic to advanced commands, while building a 3D model of a tv set with props.
