About this course
Dive deep into the nuances of Rhino with our comprehensive training course, encompassing modules that span from foundational concepts to advanced techniques. When you fuse the modelling prowess of Rhino with the photorealistic rendering capabilities of V-Ray, you're equipped to craft visuals that not only narrate architectural stories but also captivate audiences.
The combination of Rhino's precise modeling capabilities with V-Ray's photorealistic rendering creates one of the most powerful workflows available for architectural visualization. This course teaches you to master both applications as an integrated system, maximizing the strengths of each while maintaining efficient workflow practices.
The Smith House project demonstrates the complete pipeline from initial modeling through to final rendered imagery. You'll learn how to optimize your Rhino models for rendering, create compelling materials and lighting setups, and manage the technical aspects of high-quality render production.
Advanced rendering techniques include physically accurate lighting, complex material creation, and post-production workflow integration. The course covers both technical rendering knowledge and artistic composition skills, ensuring your final images communicate design intent effectively.
This integrated approach positions you to produce professional-quality architectural visualizations that meet the demanding standards of contemporary practice. The skills transfer directly to client presentation, competition submissions, and marketing materials.

Syllabus
Our first lesson introduces Rhino 3D & it's interface, with some basic tool explanations to get you started on the right path.
Here we explain how to setup your Rhino files & covers a wide range of basic tools & object types, so you fully understand the capability of the software.
Rhino is an extremely powerful piece of software when it comes to creating fluid forms of architecture. This lesson goes deep on how to create beautiful curves in Rhino.
Once you have a grasp of curves you then need to turn them into surfaces that can become the build blocks of your building designs. This lesson elaborates on Rhino's many tools for creating weird & wonderful shapes!
Now that you have a basic understanding of Rhino 3D & it's tools, we begin the modelling element by starting to model the iconic Smith House.
The second part of modelling the Smith House goes through modelling the walls, floors, structural frame & windows.
The modelling is concluded by adding detail to the Smith House & modelling the site's context & landform, ready for rendering with Vray.
This lesson explores some interesting tools within Rhino so that you can texture & export your model for people to view & test during the design process.
No render is complete without furnishing the model with foliage & other assets. This video goes into a range of techniques to populate your scene to make sure your renders are as realistic as possible.
The scene is now ready for render production, so let's start with materials. Here we cover how to texture up your entire scene using Vray materials & other tools.
Before rendering your image you need to understand Vray's render settings & it's capabilities, which are all covered in this lesson.
We finish the course with a detailed explanation of how to enhance your render using Adobe Lightroom.
