Elite Modeling School

Elite Modeling School

Weekly videos about design software and workflow every Monday - subscribe to get updates when new content is released!

As a former architecture student & young designer, I know exactly what it's like to feel overwhelmed learning so many different things all at once. Without much help when it came to software, I had to learn it all on my own. After 15 years working with programs like Rhino, Grasshopper, VRay, the Adobe Suite, and other design tools, it's now my pleasure to share the benefit of my experience with you.

I'll show you how to use software as a problem-solving tool so that when you encounter difficult design challenge, you'll be confident enough to proceed and solve it on your own with the skills we've developed together.

I'm between Brooklyn, NY and Los Angeles, CA, so if you're ever in one of those places and would like to meet up, discuss a project, arrange a workshop, ask a question, or just say 'hi', reach me at my email below or on social media.

Happy modeling!

    Adore Rhino, have done since the turn of the Century! Now trying to use Fusion 360, and struggling, to be honest! Maybe a case of an old dog trying to learn new tricks, but I keep getting to issues that I know would be a few seconds to sort out in Rhino, that are pretty complex to do in Fusion...... Ah well. Excellent round-up, by the way!

    Rhino is definitely awesome all rounder program. Beats the hell out of AutoCAD, especially in 3D. Although Blender has it beat in terms of animation.

    It’s terrible compared to Revit when you actually know how to use it well. The relationship between orthographic views renders, and 3D model is unmatched. RhinoCAD doesn’t really understand what a plan section and elevation are.

    Both. It’s especially unmatched in 3D CAD, dimensionally precise and watertight models that make for great computer aided manufacturing and product design. Something AutoCad is terrible at. And that Blender doesn’t really do precision.

    Selection is (still) a real pain in Rhino. Sometimes you can not select something and no idea why. I even have the exact same copy of an object a couple of times in 1 scene and it will select some of them and straight up ignore the other identical objects. See the video on my channel, what you think, that must be a bug right?

    They have almost no overlapping purpose. One is a conceptual modeling tool. Another is a BIM tool. If you don't need to do a lot of creative design -- BUT -- you need to focus on construction docs/takeoffs/etc -- then Revit is obviously all you need. If you need a very freeform tool for conceptually/creatively testing ideas -- then Rhino is absolutely more native and results in more flexibility/creativity.

    @@InspiredScience I've heard many people refer to Rhino as you do, "a conceptual modeling tool". Don't know that I agree with that. While it does excel at this function, it's also very strong as a detailing tool using it's AutoCAD-like layout environment. Actually, it's much stronger than AutoCAD (or it's variants - BricsCAD) due to it's ability to present view styles and clipping planes in viewports without odd display artifacts. It definitely does not have the ability to generate 2D vector views on the fly like SW or Inventor (or Revit), but still very easy to annotate in the layout environment. Regarding modeling in Rhino vs. Revit, I don't have much experience modeling in Revit, but feel that modeling in Rhino truly provides an environment that is conducive to developing free-form, organic shapes very easily (simple geometry too - but just about any modeler can do that easily.) I often model in Rhino and import/open directly into Inventor.

    Revit can definitely do all the 3D solid architecture modeling that RhinoCAD to do, except meshes. Although you really need to know what you are doing when you only have 5 3D modelling options.

    I am aware of some semi-pro and professional simulator aircraft modelling people who precision model high detail aircraft not just down to visible outer and inner surfaces, but right down to accurate models of the engine compartments, every seat in the passenger compartment, etc. They probably use Blender and retopo and texture paint tools to get their final 4K PBR work products, but it seems Blender is not even close to usable as a CAD program. I could probably get farther doing a 747 cockpit and passenger cabin in sketchup than doing it directly than in blender. When will Rhino get a dark mode that is easy on the eyes? My feeling, using it is, holy dated UI batman.

    nice short clip. i would also add the hovering preview color. i think the default is light pink or light blue. i cant recall at this time. but it can get confusing when you have many objects and youre not sure which one youre hovering over. and if you use smart guidelines, theres also a color for parallel or perpendicular guidelines (i think their defaults are magenta and white) which can also be confusing.

    I used AutoCAD since about 1983. Approximately in 2008 I switched to Rhino. Rhino and Alias are direct competitors. They are used by mechanical engineers when Solidworks fails to make complex, organic surfaces. Alias is highly specialized tool used to design automobile bodies. Rhino looks more like Swiss Army knife - it can do many things rather well. Rhino is good, but its plugins are bad. Its main advantage is that complex, organic NURBS surfaces can be made quickly and accurately. Fillets never worked well, but they are somewhat reliable in Rhino 7. SubD surfaces are not accurate, but they are very well suited for making organic surfaces with record speed. QuadRemesh command quickly converts messy polygon meshes into SubD surfaces that are very easy to edit. Almost all young architects use Grasshopper, which now is integral part of Rhino.
