Editorial Review: Product Description: This well-designed introduction to using the latest version of Rhino bridges the gap between theoretical and software-oriented approaches to computer modeling by providing a balanced presentation of theory, concepts, and hands-on tutorials. Beginning with an overview of the Rhinoceros 4 interface, the book progresses to explore wireframe models and the construction of curves. Coverage continues with an in-depth examination of surface modeling, taking readers step-by-step through surfaces construction using Rhino. Detailed discussions are then provided on solid modeling methods, rendering, engineering drawing, and outputting to various file formats. Coverage concludes with a set of projects aimed at the application of Rhino in real world design situations. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Reference manual onlyThis is a ref manual, there are no (or very few) tutorials. The instructions are very concise, but offer no explanations.

Rating:  - inside Inside Rhinoceros 4 I think that this is a quite good instrument, but there are few tutorials. The few tutorials you'll find on the text are not so good: too easy and they approach only small elements. Only one complete exercize (the first one) and the final result is no prof. Rating: - Very insightful book, but NOT FOR BEGINNERSMcNeil, the company that produces Rhino, produce a level 1 and level 2 course for beginners and intermediate students, respectively. This book essentially covers everything that both of those original courses cover, in addition to most of the content from the instruction manual that comes with Rhino, all with (for the most part) significantly better designed examples. The author even goes into great depth as to how to use every last sub-command. The problem is, right from the very first ... Read More
