Rhino Courses Lebanon | Jewelry, Architecture, Furniture, Matrix and Grasshopper Training

Master Rhino 3D modeling and Grasshopper design at ETC, Lebanon's leading authorized Rhino training center. Whether you're interested in architecture, jewelry design, furniture modeling, or advanced generative designs, our Rhino courses give you the skills to create stunning and professional projects. Learn with hands-on training in Beirut or online from anywhere in Lebanon.

Rhino, a CAD software with curves and advanced modeling tools, is commonly used in architecture, product, industrial, and jewelry designs. It is a precision software with dimensioning, 2D and 3D complex modeling, and rendering capabilities. Rhino was Zaha Hadid's tool of choice for designing futuristic architecture characterized by curved facades and sharp angles.

The current version, Rhino 8, is BIM-compliant and object-oriented. We often use it to model organic objects. Bring your Rhino models into KeyShot to render stunning real-like images. If you use the Grasshopper plugin, you will create complex geometric patterns based on parameters. If jewelry design is your specialty, jump onto the MatrixGold bandwagon.

Rhino Courses Offered at ETC

Rhino 1 - Fundamentals for All

This Rhino course covers fundamental skills applicable to various specializations, including architecture, jewelry, product, and furniture design. Throughout the course, you will gain proficiency in modeling a diverse range of objects.

Rhino 2 - Jewelry Design

In this course, you will learn the basic and initial process of jewelry design and production. Then, we will cover the theory, from jewelry typology and ring anatomy to basic tools for hand and digital sketching. You will also learn about the manufacturing process and modeling parameters for prototyping and production, modeling emblematic rings step by step, from simple shapes to applying gems. Finally, you will learn how to create base layouts, blueprints, and prepare your model for printing and rendering.

Rhino 2 - Exterior and Interior Architecture

In this Rhino course, we focus on modeling various exterior and interior architecture objects such as building elements, landscapes, furniture, interior fixtures, facade elements, structural components, and decorative elements.

Rhino 2 - Product and Furniture Design

In this Rhino course, we focus on modeling electronic devices, appliances, furniture, packaging, and industrial equipment.

Rhino 3 - Grasshopper Generative Designs

Grasshopper is an excellent plugin for Rhino. We often encounter complex generative designs based on parameters and formulas, such as roof glass domes, solar shades, metal claddings, and complex jewelry design patterns. There is no need to learn to program: instead, we connect nodes with various functions to visually and graphically build the program. We can even import data from Excel to generate designs. Grasshopper allows for highly flexible and adaptable design creation by easily modifying parameters and rules, making it an ideal tool for exploring multiple design options and generating various outcomes.

Rhino 4 - MatrixGold Jewelry Design

MatrixGold is CAD software specifically tailored to the jewelry industry, with features that make it a powerful tool for designers and manufacturers. It enables users to create intricate and detailed designs for jewelry pieces, offering advanced tools such as gemstone placement, intricate pattern creation, and precise complex shape modeling. Users can visualize designs in 3D and create realistic renderings for presentations or marketing purposes.

KeyShot

KeyShot is a rendering software commonly used to create high-quality, photorealistic images and animations from 3D models. It's widely used in industries like product design, industrial design, automotive design, and jewelry design. KeyShot allows users to quickly and easily apply materials, textures, lighting, and camera settings to their models, resulting in stunning visualizations that closely resemble real-world objects.

Rhino and Grasshopper Inside Revit

Rhino and Grasshopper offer more flexibility and advanced capabilities in terms of geometric modeling and algorithmic design. Integrating Rhino and Grasshopper with Revit enhances the design process by enabling the creation of more complex, customizable models. Using plugins like Rhino.Inside.Revit, you can run Rhino and Grasshopper inside the Revit environment, allowing seamless data exchange. You can create custom components and parametric families in Rhino and Grasshopper, then export them into Revit. Furthermore, you can perform analysis and simulation tasks such as daylight analysis, structural analysis, and energy performance simulation to optimize designs before documentation in Revit.
