Using Rhino for the First Time to Design an Engagement Ring

Cadia Romano, a trainer with extensive experience in jewelry design, was invited to teach a two-day workshop at the Institut National de Gemmologie in Paris (France), thanks to the Erasmus+ exchange program.  

Using Rhino, students designed an engagement ring, exploring different ring styles and settings, and rendering it using iJewel3D. They achieved excellent results in just 19 hours, which is impressive considering they had no previous experience in Rhino or 3D design.

Cadia is a jewelry designer and goldsmith with experience in 3D printing. She is also a regular lecturer at Accademia Italiana and at other prestigious schools in different parts of Italy.

Moving Pictures: The Art of M.C. Escher and Animation

National Museum of Mathematics

January 11, 2023

The work of M.C. Escher can be thought of as related to animation, for example, his long print Metamorphosis.  But Escher didn’t need an animation technique, instead finding his own solutions.  A square slowly changes shape and other recognizable shapes—such as birds and fish—emerge precisely because of the clear visual language that Escher developed.  Looking more closely from this perspective, are there perhaps other wonderful worlds that will become visible?  Join Dutch mathematician Rinus Roelofs and Authorized Rhino Trainer for a closer look at Escher’s work, a great source of inspiration from which unexpected moving images have arisen.  Math Encounters is MoMath’s popular free public presentation series celebrating the spectacular world of mathematics, produced with support from the Simons Foundation.

RhinoCenter launches a new Academy Platform for Turkish users!

After working on this new project for many months, RhinoCenter (Authorized Rhino Reseller and Training Center in Turkey) is happy to announce the launch of their Academy platform. Their website now offers basic courses for Rhino, specific training on SubD, Grasshopper, and all in Turkish!

These initial courses are similar to intense on-site training but with lifetime access to follow at your own pace. Each course has its own final test which takes around 45 minutes and has a passing score of 70/100. Upon passing the test, students will receive a completion certificate.

At the end of the year, all certified students will have the chance to win a Rhino Level 1 Exam Certificate. A great opportunity to test knowledge and competency in Rhino software, 3D visualization and become a Certified Rhino Specialist.

Last but not least, all courses are listed with a 75% special discount until the end of the year and stay tuned because they will soon release the following new courses: Python, RhinoCAM, and V-Ray for Rhino.
