INSIDE Rhinoceros 3
A balanced presentation combining theory,
concepts, and tutorials is at the heart of this introduction to
3D computer modeling that is written to the latest version of
Rhinoceros, Release 3. Special emphasis is given to understanding
theoretical issues on NURBS (nonuniform rational B-splines) curves
and surfaces as well as practical issues on the use of Rhinoceros
to construct and design 3D free-form models. Real-world applications
of NURBS modeling and step-by-step Rhino tutorials help acquaint
novices with key features and functions of the software.

of building curved surfaces and organic shapes while sharpening
your knowledge of the mathematics used in contemporary computer-aided
engineering applications. Inside Rhinoceros provides readers with
an all-inclusive introduction to 3D computer modeling using the
newest release of Rhinoceros - Rhino(tm), Release 2 - with special
emphasis on understanding NURBS surfaces and boundary-representation
methods. Real-world projects and step-by-step Rhino tutorials
have been deliberately engineered to acquaint novices with key
features and functions of the software, which is rapidly gaining
acceptance in the corporate market and in the classroom.

Rhino NURBS 3D Modeling
Rhino NURBS 3D Modeling is an excellent book
not only on building models with this popular modeling tool but
on computer modeling 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). The most interesting chapter covers the process of
modeling a human face based on a plaster casting, and it offers
numerous photos documenting the process of creating the plaster
mold from someone's face, filling it to get the cast, and digitizing
it into Rhino using a digitizing scribe.
