Highlights

The programme equips students with advanced techniques of 3D computer modeling using the software Rhinoceros (Rhino) in creating and editing complex 3D models. The advanced tools of Rhino, Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) topology, and advanced surfacing will be explained and explored in detail. Students will learn how to apply these advanced tools to create optimised geometry and freeform objects.

 

This course is suitable for designers in the fields of Architecture, Interior Design, and Product / Industrial Design.

The in-class course exercises will be conducted to ensure understanding and application of key knowledge.  

Upon successful completion of the course, official certificate will be received from  HKU SPACE.
