In this Rhino Modeling Techniques training course, expert author Kyle Houchens teaches you several modeling techniques while you work on creating a child's toy car. This course is designed for users that already have a fundamental understanding of Rhino.You will start by building the wheel and tire, including how to revolve the wheel and tire, build the hub and spokes, and assemble the mirror wheel and tire. Next, Kyle will teach you how to build the main body of the car, showing you how to build the front and rear fenders, headlights, and windows and gaskets. You will also learn how to assemble and inspect the final product. This video tutorial also covers 3D printing and computer number control (CNC). Finally, you will learn how to create basic materials and renderings with Neon.Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will have an in-depth understanding of how to model in Rhino, starting from the basic concept to the final output of the model. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
