Rhino is a general product design tool originally designed for the marine industry, but since adopted by many different areas of product design such as furniture, footwear, electronics, and of course jewellery design.
It offers more functionality than any one specialty will ever use, and its product design roots make it ideal for designing complex assemblies.
Each design specialty has made extensions (or plug-ins) for Rhino to make their jobs easier. In this course, Rhino will be taught alongside the plug-ins Flamingo (an easy to use rendering tool for making photorealistic images from models) and RhinoJewel (a basic jeweller's toolbox and stone library).
To enrol, students must have completed either the Rhino - Intermediate course or Matrix intensive course (or have equivelent experience) in additional to at least 40 hours of regular practice.
Rather than following a set format, this single day course provides the students with a series of challenges collected from some of the most difficult modelling dilemmas one could face in the professional worksplace. Students brainstorm solutions to the problems with the tutor and each solution is explored. This allows students to see new and different approaches to working.
