Digital Tutors - Replicating an Italian Renaissance Era Temple in Rhino

Duration 4h 16m Project Files Included MP4

Throughout these Rhino tutorials we'll utilize different tools, techniques and processes that are useful to architects and designers in Rhino.

The goal of this tutorial will be to not only teach the tools, concepts and workflows necessary to succeed in Rhino, but to break them down so that they are easily understood.

We'll explore multiple approaches to create a similar object, and you'll be provided with a solid foundation in creating objects of this type.

By the end of this Rhino training, you'll not only understand how to create this type of historical piece of architecture, but will have also developed good working habits in Rhino.
