Things You'll Need:
- Rhinoceros 3d program (full or trial version)
- internet access
-
Step 1
Rhino specializes in free-form NURBS modeling. Rhino's increasing popularity is based on its diversity, multi-disciplinary functions, relatively low cost, and its ability to import and export over 30 file formats.
-
Step 2
First to learn rhino 3d you will need the program to practice on, you can get a trial version at http://www.rhino3d.com/download.htm. The trial version doesn't have a time limit, it only has a limit on how many times you can save drawings and create renderings. To make the trial version las as long as possible, I would suggest not saving any drawings until you get into more complicated tutorials.
-
Step 3
There are several good places to find tutorials to start learning rhino. I've found that the best free intro lessons are at www.vtc.com (http://www.vtc.com/products/Rhino-3D-tutorials.htm). They are video tutorials that you will eventually need to pay for to see more complicated operations, but there are 18 free videos that give you an introduction into Rhino.
-
Step 4
Another good place to find tutorials is on Rhino's website at http://www.rhino3d.com/tutorials.htm. They have training guides at the top of the page which are also a good resource, they are not as interactive as the video tutorials but are still helpful in learning the program.
-
Step 5
Once you get the basics down start trying to do more complex tutorials on http://www.rhino3d.com/tutorials.htm. and websites like http://www.pixel2life.com/tutorials/rhino_3d/, and http://www.amazing3d.com/services/tutrhino.html.

Step 6
Good luck and stay patient, there is always a learning curve when beginning to use new programs and you learn a lot exploring programs trying to use and learn functions.
