Reverse Zoom In Rhino

Requirements

  • You should have Rhino V5 or v6 version available, either as demo or purchased. Mac or PC.
  • Check rhino 3D website for downloading a demo version, fully functional. It’s available for Mac and Windows
  • Even though I will make my tutorials on a windows platform where even those using Rhino for Mac can follow easily.
  • This course starts from the very beginning. We build it up little by little and we'll explore all the tools that will help you in your surfacing work.
  • Even if you want to use Rhino V6 you will be able to follow all the explanations.

This replaces the current file with a new sphere, at 64,000 polygons, using a wax material. We'll sculpt this very shortly! For experience CAD users it may seem strange but ZBrush does not deal in conventional drawing units (inches, mm, etc). Some are due to Rhino’s limitations. Let’s look at the common errors first: If you think your intersection should be closed, but it’s not, select the curve, and call CrvStart, which places a point at the start of the curve. Normally this will correspond with one side of the gap. Zoom in closely and see if you can see the gap on the screen.

Description

  • Get answers from pro Rhino users, the McNeel support team, and the Rhino developers. McNeel Technical support - Support page on the main McNeel/Rhino website. Manually Creating a DMP File from An Unresponsive Rhino for Windows.
  • Want Bright Back Up Lights? Rig up your auxiliary lights to come on when you go in reverse. I show you the step by step process of how I wired my truck with.
  • The closing sales price of Rhino’s common units on April 18, 2016 was $0.34 per common unit, which adjusted for the reverse unit split would be $3.40 per common unit. As previously announced, the reverse unit split is intended to increase the market price per unit of Rhino’s common units in order to comply with the New York Stock Exchange.

I have been teaching Rhino for the last 6 years at the university at a Master's level for people interested in transportation and product design. I used Rhino for 20 years and also work as an industrial designer in the aerospace industry for one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in the world for the last 17 years.

In the first couple of weeks I will show you step by step on how to get around in Rhino 3D and use basic 2D and 3D tools.

From then on, I will share with you how you can edit and modify surfaces to add a greater level of details. As we progress through the lessons you will then learn on how to render with the basic Rhino render followed by quick examples using industry standard rendering plug ins like Maxwell Render.

Finally, towards the end of the course I will show you how to fix corrupted surfaces from imported files as well as initiating you to the principles of reverse engineering techniques based on a scanned clay model.

Overall the course contains 10 weeks session. Each lecture is about 2 hours and 30 minutes long. I'll also make many demos, simple to follow and understand. These exercises will be made available for you to follow.

Even though my tutorials are done on the v5 version, those of you who wish to use V6 version will have no problems to follow along.

Also don't forget to follow me on Facebook as well, as I regularly communicate to my students about new exercises, announcements, and projects done with Rhino. Just look me up in Facebook for Rhino 3D tutorials Alexandre Galin.

Whether you're an industrial designer, architect, interior designer, engineer, technician or simply a hobbyist, I can help you in your personal growth.

So I hope you'll tag along.

Thanks for your attention and kind regards,

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

Preliminary Design – Sales Impressions – Fairing – Surface Quality Analysis – Hydrostatics – Lines Plans – Kick Start Example hulls

Introduction

Rhino can be applied for a lot of tasks when hull shapes are involved:

Initial Design/ Sales Impressions/ Hull Optimization/ Final Design/ Fairing for Production/ Reverse Engineering: Hull from GA, Lines-Plan, point cloud or measurements.

Every type of ship hull can be designed and modeled accurate and fair in Rhino with several techniques and strategies. Each strategy has its pros and cons depending on the type of ship hull and purpose of the 3d model of the ship hull. Most important factors are whether the strategy allows fast editing and easy fairing for a flexible workflow and accurate results. The Rapid Hull Modeling Methodology offers it all, for nearly every type of ship and yacht hull shape, which makes it so attractive and valuable. The Rapid Hull Modeling Methodology was originally developed by Bas Goris and Phil Shapiro more than 10 years ago. Since then it is further developed by RhinoCentre.

Keep in mind

  • Most important is that the user defines the quality of the surfaces and not Rhino. Therefore proper training is crucial to avoid mistakes.
  • Most challenging in Rhino is to create hulls as a single surface instead of surface patch-work. The reason for this is that it is easier to fair a single surface hull. Also editing the shape later is much more convenient with a single surface hull
  • Some types of ship hulls are impossible to model as a single surface in Rhino. One example is a ship hull with an aft bulb when a lot of control is desired for accurate reverse engineering of the aft bulb. Another example is modeling a twin-skeg arrangement as a single surface. In that case the T-Splines Rhino plugin is the next solution
  • Both double curved round bilge type of hulls as single curved (developable, multi chine) type of hulls can be modeled in Rhino.

Goals of the training

  • Create a ship hull from scratch or modify an existing example of a ship hull
  • Generate loft curves which define the shape of the surface of the ship hull
  • Edit loft curves for:
    • Creating the desired ship hull type
    • Fairing of the ship hull
  • Generate a lines plan with sections, waterlines and buttocks
  • Analyze the shape and characteristics of the hull
    • Regarding smoothness
    • With Rhino Hydrostatics

Testimonial
“I have been a Rhino user for about fifteen years and I considered myself a competent modeler. However, I learned more about Rhino in four days at Rhinocentre than I did in fifteen years of teaching myself. I highly recommend this course.”

Display Mesh

Surfaces in Rhino are described with NURBS mathematics. However graphics cards can only show the NURBS surfaces in wireframe display. To show the surfaces in shaded or rendered display Rhino generates automatically a so called ‘render mesh’ for each surface with a default smoothness. Learn english through tamil mp3 free download. This explains that sometimes the edge curves of a surface show smooth and accurate but the surface itself shows rough and ugly. Especially during fairing with the Glossy for Fairing display it is important to have a smooth render mesh.

  • Switch the Perspective viewport display to ‘Glossy for Fairing’
  • Select the loft surface
  • Zoom in at the bow area
  • In the Object Properties menu select the checkbox for a Custom Mesh (Fig. 62).
  • Click Adjust. The ‘Polygon Mesh Options’ dialog pops up (Fig. 62)
  • Click at Preview and look at the mesh faces on the surface
  • Move the slider to ‘Fewer polygons’ and click at ‘Preview’ again. Notice the large mesh faces along the surface and the straight lines at deck level. This doesn’t look smooth
  • Move the slider to ‘More Polygons’ and click ‘Preview’ again. This looks much better. However the bulbous bow is still very rough

Fig. 63: Detailed Mesh Options dialog

  • Click ‘Detailed Controls’ in the Simple Mesh Options dialog and set the values according to Fig. 63
  • Click Preview again. The mesh faces distribution is much more refined now.
  • Press OK to accept these settings and examine the display quality of the surface.

It is important to understand that the more refined the Display Mesh is, the larger the file size will become as each Mesh face has to be described. Furthermore editing the shape of the hull is slower with a detailed render mesh as it has to be recomputed over and over again. On the other hand a sufficient level of detail of a render mesh is necessary to be able to examine the surface smoothness. Finding the proper balance here is very important.
