About the Course

On this four-week practical course from the University of Michigan, you’ll not only learn how to use the Rhino software to create your 3D models, but you’ll also gain basic design skills to help bring your imagination to life. This course will guide you through 3D modeling within Rhino, so you’ll cover the fundamentals of the software as well as 3D modeling in general. You’ll first look at how to navigate the user interface and the different tools that you’ll be using to create models throughout this course. You’ll familiarize yourself with the 3D space and 3D objects before jumping straight in to create your own objects and building blocks. Design is a vital part of 3D modeling. You can be a master of the software but if you aren’t aware of fundamental design concepts, you won’t be able to truly unleash your potential. You’ll build your basic design skills by looking at line, shape, form, and space, before creating and editing 2D line forms that you’ll transform into patterned mandalas and 3D tile wall designs. This course will guide you through the concept of profile modeling and will allow you to utilize 3D surface and 3D solid modeling tools to create and edit more complex designs. To round out your foundational knowledge, you’ll dive into 3D rendering and creating 3D printable models. Then, once you’ve completed each step of the course, you can bring your newfound skills together into one final 3D modeling project. This course has been designed for anyone interested in 3D design and learning how to use 3D modeling software. You don’t need any previous knowledge or experience to benefit from this course. It will be particularly useful to Architects, Designers, Engineers, or anyone studying in these fields....

Overall, it is a good course. However, I would review the quizzes. Sometimes it was very difficult to find the correct answer from the videos. In two cases, I spelled out the numbers (correct) two and one, and the answer was not accepted just because I was supposed to write 2 and 1. I would modify the quizzes. The instructor is very good and explains the material well. The projects are challenging and interesting.

The course is very understandable and good instructor. I can improve my 3D design after this course. But I will leave it 5-star review unless the short-answer questions are very impossible to answer. The course cannot solve conveniently without extremely focusing on the course or getting helps from previous learners.

Great way to learn Rhino 3D modeling. Tips: use google docs to insert JPG files, then print as a PDF to submit assignments. And search forums for help in answering tricky quiz questions that aren't always covered in the course material. I'd have given the course 5 stars except for these quiz questions.

I've never worked in 3D at all. But within a month of this course, I began to really understand how to build many things in 3D. One of the few courses that not only met, but exceeded my expectations

En la evaluación del módulo 2, hay una pregunta sobre los puntos de control cuya respuesta es solo control pero se tuvo que es fibir control points para que la respuesta fuera exitosa.
