Description
Rhino NURBS 3D Modeling is not only an excellent book on building models with this popular modelling tool, but on computer
modelling in general. Many of the techniques described here, such as Boolean operations and trimming surfaces, can be
applied to building models in other programs. Many chapters adeptly demonstrate Rhino s power as a NURBS modeler (Non-
Uniform Rational B-Splines). NURBS is a computer modelling paradigm that makes it easy to build curved surfaces and organic
shapes. There are chapters that go into detail in building shapes such as a dragonfly (based on a photographic template), a
coffeepot with a lid and a cartoon-style boy character. The most interesting chapter covers the process of modelling a human
face based on a plaster casting. This chapter offers numerous photos documenting the process of creating the plaster mould
from someone s face, filling it to get the cast and digitising it into Rhino using a digitising scribe. The accompanying CD-ROM
has all the models discussed in the book and a quasi-demo version of Rhino that has all features enabled ("quasi" because
saving things from the program becomes disabled after the 15th time). Rhino NURBS 3D Modeling works well for new Rhino
users and for artists new to computer modelling interested in learning how a dedicated NURBS modeler works. --Mike Caputo
