What's New in Rhino 8 Vanessa @McNeel
(2 min) Watch this short video and discover some of Rhino 8's main features.
Windows | Interface Basics BrianJ @McNeel
(5 minutes) An overview of the user interface, navigation, viewports, tools and other workspace elements.
Windows | Navigation and Display Vanessa @McNeel
(3 minutes) Learn how to navigate around the scene and use different ways of displaying your model.
Windows | Object Types Vanessa @McNeel
(4 minutes) Learn about the different geometry types in Rhino, each is better suited for different design goals.
Windows | Selecting Objects Vanessa @McNeel
(3 minutes) Learn about the basic and advanced selection methods in Rhino. Learning how to select and filter objects is essential for effective modeling.
Windows | Modeling Strategies Vanessa @McNeel
(2 minutes) An overview of Rhino's modeling logic, starting with a curve, which derives into a surface, both form-finding steps, to end up with a polysurface or solid for detailing your model.
Windows | Modeling a Watering Can Vanessa @McNeel
(8 minutes) A practical example of how to build an object.
MAC | Interface Basics BrianJ @McNeel
(5 minutes) Watch Brian James, tech and trainer at McNeel, walk through the new features in the Rhino for Mac UI.
MAC | Display & Navigation Mary @McNeel
(3 minutes) Learn how to navigate around the scene and use different ways of displaying your model.
MAC | Object Types Mary @McNeel
(4'30 minutes) Learn about the different geometry types in Rhino, each is better suited for different design goals.
MAC | Selecting Objects Mary @McNeel
(3'45 minutes) Learn about the basic and advanced selection methods in Rhino. Learning how to select and filter objects is essential for effective modeling.
MAC | Modeling Strategies Mary @McNeel
(2'50 minutes) An overview of Rhino's modeling logic, starting with a curve, which derives into a surface, both form-finding steps, to end up with a polysurface or solid for detailing your model.
Introducing Grasshopper Rajaa @McNeel
(1 minute) Grasshopper is a parametric design tool that uses intuitive visual programming methods to help design professional in modeling and production. This video is a quick overview of what Grasshopper is and why people use it.
Key Concepts Rajaa @McNeel
(1 minute) Key differences between modeling in Rhino and modeling in Grasshopper to help appreciate how to transition to parametric modeling.
Grasshopper Components Rajaa @McNeel
(3 minutes) Explain how Components take information, called inputs, perform a logic or transformation and produce an output, making these the core of Grasshopper's parametric capabilities.
Geometry Concepts Rajaa @McNeel
(5 minutes) Cover main geometry concepts you will need to understand well to use Grasshopper. Vectors, transformations and surface parameterization are all covered in Rhino, yet some are automatically handled, while they'll need to be crafted in Grasshopper.
Data Management Rajaa @McNeel
(4 minutes) A parametric solution is composed of an extensive list of information commonly called Data. Parts and pieces that interconnect to generate a design. From values to vectors, to curves and surfaces, the success of your design is in carefully crafting how this data relates to each other. Watch this video to understand the logic of Data in Grasshopper.
