This is one of the best beginner courses I've taken. I watched it more than twice over the past three weeks and practiced along the way. All the commands used in the course were essential for building foundational skills, and the course materials were excellent for hands-on practice. The models you create (or work with) in the course are highly useful and offer room for creative exploration, and it’s clear the lessons are thoughtfully designed for efficient learning and help beginners quickly develop practical Rhino skills. Starting by fixing the Parthenon, rather than simply drawing basic curves, was a fantastic and inspiring approach. A big thank you to Joe Meiser!

This is one of the very few videos ive found that talks about rhino 3d in deep insight, not just talking about the most basic stuff. I really really hope this channel grows so more content like this gets made. You’re doing great

The idea of breaking an ancient structure to have it rebuilt with modern technology, just to learn how to move objects is brilliant! Unorthodox, fun and useful - especially the parts where you point out certain criteria (snap conditions for example) which have to be in place in order to use a command. Thanks Joe!

One of the best Rhino tutorials I’ve seen so far. I’ve worked with Rhino 6 and 7 and was looking for something on Rhino 8—this video really stood out. The explanations are clear, the voice is easy to follow, and the examples are well thought out. I couldn’t open the provided files and eventually gave up on that part, but even without them, the video is still incredibly helpful and easy to follow. Really commendable work!

Been chipping away learning Rhino for over a year now during my spare time, slowly getting there by means of Youtube tutorials etc. Discovered Joe's course... I can't recommend this enough. Beginners Start here! 10/10 Many Thanks.

Please make more Rhino tutorials!
You have a very good way of teaching!

[leonidasj]

I'm already using Rhino for years but I still did the course from the beginning because you explain the fundamentals and the logic of the program so well that I still learned a lot of new stuff that I didn't know before. thank you!!

Amazing tutorial for Rhino's basic functions and showcasing of its capabilities. I studied this video along with others "How to" model things on Rhino from other channels, and this video gave me a deeper understanding of why and how some other creators make models the way they do.

Great job and thank you!

Thanks for the tutorial, Joe! I'm a brazilian Design student working in assistive technology. Your work will have a huge impact, helping so many people with disabilities. Long live science!

[priyanshsharma]

What a great tutorial! I have tried a lot of YouTube tutorials, but they always make Rhino seem complicated to a beginner. But you have an excellent way of teaching complex topics in a way I understood fully. Great video, great work. I hope your channel grows a lot :))

What a wonderful course and what an incredibly generous contribution to the 3d modeling community. Thanks so much for this video! Looking forward to more videos in your channel.❤

[TheBurnedGamers]

Great tutorial! I'm going from Blender to Rhino, so I love how straight to the point you are, without getting to deep into theory.

Thank you for this well explained tutorial - it helped me a lot to get started with Rhino.
