Rhino是是美国Robert McNeel & Assoc.开发的PC上强大的专业3D造型软件，它可以广泛地应用于三维动画制作、工业制造、科学研究以及机械设计等领域。它能轻易整合3DS MAX 与Softimage的模型功能部分，对要求精细、弹性与复杂的3D NURBS模型，有点石成金的效能。能输出obj、DXF、IGES、STL、3dm等不同格式，并适用于几乎所有3D软件，尤其对增加整个3D工作团队的模型生产力有明显效果，故使用3D MAX、AutoCAD、MAYA、Softimage、Houdini、Lightwave等3D设计人员不可不学习使用。

ThinkParametric Modularization & Rationalization

This course tackles one of the most important aspects of parametric modeling; having a large series of values that are all distinct and map them to the nearest controlled value for optimisation purposes. To do this, we′ll perform some exercises dealing with a modular facade surface with changing floorplans to illustrate how this principle may apply to any design situation where variation must be controlled and reduced.

We will also cover some visualization techniques (indexing of modules by color) so the whole exercise can be assessed. Lastly, you′ll learn how to do optimization using the Galapagos Evolutionary Solver and how to use the Human Plugin to position 3D blocks into our parametrically optimized facade.
