The course enables students to acquire practical proficiency in work with 3D graphics using the program environment of Rhinoceros3D. Students will acquire knowledge about ways of implementation complex 3D projects (making complex curves and surfaces from curves, making volumes form surfaces, working with layers, joining parts into a complex objects). Students learn to use all program features for its implementation into their own ideas and designs in given semester projects. With RhinoCAM plugin students will be able to prepare their models for machining.

Basic knowledge of work with PC in Windows XP or higher OS is assumed. Experience with computer 3D graphics is an advantage.

The course is taught through exercises which are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Graded course-unit credit requirements: attendance in lessons, meeting assigned projects deadlines, practical test verifying the knowledge of work with the software and creative work ability.
Resulting evaluation consists of evaluations on projects, tasks and a test. In total it will be possible to aquire 100 points. Resulting classification will be defined by the ECTS scale.
If some of the projects are awarded less than half of the maximum pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed".
According to the article No. 13 of Study and Examination Rules of Brno University of Technology ECTS evaluation degree scale is used. . If some of the projects are awarded less than 50 pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed". The course is evaluated with the following grades: ECTS EVALUATION DEGREES / PTS. RATING / NUMERIC RATING: A / 100 – 90 / 1 / Excellent; B /89 – 80 / 1,5 / Very good; C / 79 – 70 / 2 / Good; D / 69 – 60 / Satisfactory; E / 59 – 50 / Sufficient; F / 49 – 0 / 4 / Failed.

The course objective is to make students familiar with possibilities and features of 3D software for making various 3D models and its visualization, to learn and use software Rhinoceros3D. Students will gain experience in making virtual 3D models based on sketches from their atelier semester projects. Students become familiar with CAM extension -RhinoCAM that allows to prepare their models for machining. Students work out their semester projects at different stages with full support of computer technologies.

Compulsory attendance at seminars. Education runs according to the week schedule. The way of compensation of missed seminars is specified by the tutor.
