Hydraulic Design: Rhino 3D Sales and Training, Design and Modeling

design and modeling rhino classes sales About

If you are looking at buying a Rhino V4 Upgrade but are concerned about when V5 will be out, Version 5 has just recently entered the Beta phase, scheduled to last at least six months, so its release is not imminent. I personally use V5-64 bit every day, and you can too if you upgrade now.

Brazil V2, high-end rendering for Rhino, is in stock at an excellent price.

Get the Flamingo 2.0 Upgrade for just US$175 while supplies last.

The online training schedule has been updated for the first half of 2012

Additionally, I've developed custom scripts to automate specialized processes. If you have a job that you think could benefit from 3D CAD but it's not yet widely used or you haven't found a solution you like, a little scripting in Rhino could be the answer.

Educational versions

With all McNeel products the educational version is identical to the commercial version, the only restriction is that the license cannot be transferred to someone else. It can even legally be used for commercial work, during and after your education. "Upgrading" to the commercial license is simple: when a new version becomes available and you no longer qualify for the educational discount, you buy the regular commercial upgrade.

Proof of status is required: student or faculty id, or purchase order.

Lab Kits

Lab kits are available only to schools. They can be installed on all the machines in one room, or as a floating license for 30 users over a network.

Rhino Resources

Here are a few Rhino-related links.

An introduction to using VBScript's classes in Rhino scripting.
This blog post illustrates a handful of Brazil's features, including reflection control and the Brazil Utility Material.
This short piece attempts to answer the single most common question from new Rhino users..."Why do things look wrong when I shade them?"
I have started working on an "online bonus chapter" of my car tutorial, showing the tires and wheels. It's a long way from complete, but you can follow along here.
This is a rather old tutorial on making a "splashing ball." While being very easy to do, it explains a couple advanced concepts in some detail...well that's the idea anyhow. Take a look.
