Session 01: 2D Curves for Large-Scale Project Modeling
Students will begin modeling a complete architectural project, starting with the creation of 2D curves. This session introduces the process of translating design ideas into precise 2D elements.
Sessions 02 to 07: Buildings Modeling
In these sessions, students will model six distinct buildings, each in a separate session, allowing them to apply learned curve, surface, and 3D modeling skills to real-world architectural designs.
Session 08 & 09: Advanced Roof Modeling Techniques
Students will learn advanced techniques for roof modeling, using tools to design and refine complex roof structures across multiple buildings in the project.
Session 10: Landscape Modeling & Environment Design
The final session of the project focuses on landscape modeling. Students will learn how to model the terrain, create outdoor elements, and finalize the environmental context of the project.
Session 01: Fundamentals of Solid Creation
This session covers the tools and techniques used to create solid objects in Rhino, such as cubes, spheres, and other basic 3D shapes that form the foundation for more complex solid modeling.
Session 02: Modifying and Editing Solids
Building on solid creation, this session delves into modifying and refining solid models using Boolean operations, filleting, and other key commands. Students will learn how to combine and subtract solids to create intricate designs.
Session 01: Futuristic Spaceship Base Modeling
In this session, students will use solid modeling tools to create a futuristic spaceship base, incorporating design elements that require advanced solid modeling techniques and creative thinking.
Session 02: Futuristic Tower Design & Modeling
The final task challenges students to model a futuristic tower, applying their knowledge of solid modeling and pushing the boundaries of their design creativity.
The content is well organized and easy to follow, which helps avoid confusion. Thank you.
this was the best decision i have made
I am an architecture student in second year and i decided to take the masterclass bundle to understand how these applications work but i didnt know that i would learn this much
i took it in summer and although i have not finished the full course i know more commands and shortcuts than my professors themselves it has made my experience way better considering i knew how to work on all these platforms before any of my colleagues and i wish i took it earlier
This course provided a structured introduction to Rhino, progressing from basic 2D drafting to complex 3D modeling.
Through the four tasks, I developed a clear understanding of Rhino’s core tools, accuracy control, and modeling logic.
The course gradually introduced solid, surface, and complex form modeling, which improved my ability to manage geometry and workflow efficiency.
Each task presented new challenges that strengthened my problem-solving skills and design precision.
By the end of the course, I gained the confidence to translate conceptual ideas into accurate 2D drawings and detailed 3D models suitable for real-world design applications.
Thank you, the lectures were really helpful.
I had zero experience in Rhino before starting this course. Now I’m able to model buildings using Rhino easily; the tasks’ organization and order are really beneficial, and the explanation is very clear and easy to understand and follow.
An excellent and comprehensive masterclass! It covers everything from basic tools to advanced workflows. The instructor explains concepts in a very practical and structured way, which helped me improve my modeling speed and accuracy. A must-take course for Rhino users.
excellent
The lectures are well-organized, the explanations are very easy, and they provide useful information for beginners and experienced learners. The tasks are very helpful and make you feel proficient in rhino, making it a great starting point for anyone who wants to learn rhino.
The course is very useful and organized, which made the lectures clear and simple. The explanation style is easy and smooth. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn Rhino 3D in an organized and efficient manner.
I’ve seen a few tutorials but this is the first one I came across that has everything i needed with a comprehensive content and an excellent tasks can get you to advanced level
