Rhino 8 – Sun and Sky Render by SimplyRhino UK
Industrial Design Rhino & Grasshopper Training by Cademy XYZ
Cademy LIVE workshops are great resources for industrial designers and students who want to learn industry practices for creating parametric textures and designs for manufacturing 3D models. Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, and texture workflows are essential parts of an industrial design professional's toolkit. On the other hand, computational design strategies for lattice 3D printing, machine learning, and data-driven design are skills required by design studios. These workshops will provide you with a structured learning path to understand such complex tools.

ShapeDiver's App Builder: Build web applications entirely from Grasshopper
Build web applications entirely from Grasshopper
Grasshopper users can now design and build parametric web applications with the new App Builder in ShapeDiver.
Have you ever used Human UI, UI+, or any of the wonderful interface plugins to build custom interfaces for presentations and sharing with non-technical colleagues? While those tools are great, they remain limited in some contexts:
- How do you share the user-friendly interface with users who do not own a Rhino license?
- How do you give access to the application without sharing the Grasshopper definition?
- How do you make the application accessible through all types of devices, including mobiles?
The App Builder already allows defining all traditional form inputs (sliders, value lists, toggles, file inputs, etc.), as well as formatted text outputs driven by the parametric algorithm and even image widgets. Of course, the online 3D viewer is at the center of it all.

Catalogue Permutations V1.0 Webinar
17 August 2024 - 3 pm to 8 pm UTC
Online Webinar by DesignMorphine
Catalogue Permutations V1.0 will create a design catalogue consisting of simple scripts that you can use multiple times for future designs. This catalogue focuses on learning the fundamental elements of Rhino Grasshopper and Blender 3D Geometry Nodes. After completing this course, you will not be afraid of facing a blank design canvas but will confidently use your design catalogue to create complex structures.
The catalogue contains point-based, line-based, and surface-based design methods and can be categorized into four design languages: Organic Flow, Repetition, Random Generation, and Overlap. This catalogue allows users to apply these simple scripts and combine them to explore unexpected spaces. June Lee will share his design process, from finding inspiration to building final geometries. This course also demonstrates how to create a quick rendering using Blender 3D Cycles render.

Rhino Talks: Basics of Jewelry Design
food4Rhino webinar: Spherene Metamaterial
In this webinar, we discuss spherene™ metamaterial and its design tool integration in Rhino. Spherene metamaterial is revolutionizing design and manufacturing. It mimics bulk material properties, drastically cutting design time. Spherene is the industry's only isotropic minimal surface, versatile and inherently resilient. Spherene's Adaptive Density Minimal Surfaces (ADMS) are printable on any 3D printer in any material. The Rhino integration allows easy, best-in-class design, saving much engineering time.
- Christian Waldvogel is the founder of spherene, a Zurich-based company that is developing autonomous design software. He holds a Master’s degree in architecture from ETHZ, made his first 3D print in 1999, and spent most part of the 21st century as a conceptual artist. His work, which aims to reflect humanity as a species on a planet and in the universe, was published and exhibited worldwide and has directly led to the discovery of the spherene geometry in 2012.
- Daniel Bachmann, the Chief Innovation Officer at spherene, brings a background in electronics engineering and a successful track record in 3D production, having owned two companies. His interdisciplinary skills extend to rapid prototyping, usability, and interaction design. Before spherene, he spent eight years sharing his knowledge of various manufacturing techniques, including woodworking, plaster and concrete casting, CNC, additive manufacturing, and laser cutting, as a lecturer for model building and design and as a workshop deputy at ETH Zurich's Rapid Architectural Prototyping Laboratory.

Orca3D's packaging has changed in Version 3. In prior versions of Orca3D, you could purchase Level 1 and Level 2, with Level 2 adding to the Level 1 functionality. In Version 3, instead, four modules are available and may be purchased in any combination.
- Design: This includes the Hull Design and fairing and Basic Hydrostatics and stability features. It is equivalent to the previous Level 1.
- Analysis: This includes the Speed/Power feature, the CFD interface, and the Weight & Cost feature. It is equivalent to the previous Level 2, except that it does not include the Level 1 functionality. The Analysis module may be purchased without the Design module.
- Advanced Stability: Includes compartmentation and tank modeling, fluid and solid loads, unlimited load cases, free surface effects, intact and damaged stability with stability criteria evaluation, and tank tables. This is a major new module.
- Orca3D Marine CFD: Requires the Analysis module as a prerequisite.
