Rhino and Grasshopper summer workshops

FULL RHINO COURSE ( 8 sessions )
Description: This course offers a brisk paced and comprehensive introduction to Rhino 3d. It is primarily focused on developing proficiency in 3d modeling, while also exposing hidden tips and tricks. Each week focuses on a specific theme and students gain out of class practice with optional assignments. Classes are small and students receive individual attention with opportunity for help with specific questions and interests.

Topics:
Week 1 : Precision modeling
Week 2 : Organic modeling
Week 3 : Cross platform workflows
Week 4 : Advanced Techniques

Schedule:

Option 1 : July 1^st-26^th Tuesdays & Fridays 6:30p-9:30p

Option 2: August 2^nd-26^th Tuesdays & Fridays 6:30p-9:30p
