Modeling Advanced Surfaces to Create a Sci-Fi Motorcycle in Rhino
Throughout this Rhino tutorial, we'll learn to build complex surface model. Software required: Rhino 5, Keyshot 5.
What you'll learn
Throughout this Rhino tutorial, we'll learn to build complex surface model. We'll use various techniques to blend curves and surfaces to each other. Through the entirety of this course, we'll face complex modeling issues and learn creative ways to fix them. We'll also learn to model clean surfaces and stay organized throughout the process. To finish this Rhino training, we'll go through the process of taking a sci-fi motorcycle from a concept image to a full blown model in Rhino and render it out in KeyShot. Software required: Rhino 5, Keyshot 5.
