About Our Online Training

Simply Rhino Online Training - Trainee Info & Requirements

Before our Simply Rhino online courses and private training sessions our trainers will be in touch to arrange a short orientation session with you. In this 15-minute session we’ll meet online to test all of the connections, make sure you are familiar with joining the online training and describe the set-up for the upcoming session/s.

Before attending an online training class with us please check the following:

  • You have access to a good and reliable internet connection
  • Two screens are required, one running Rhino (or other) software and one to follow the trainer on (having the instructor appear on an iPad/Tablet can also work)
  • A multiple-button mouse with a scroll wheel is highly recommended
  • Ideally you should join the live training with an active WebCAM plus a head-set with an attached microphone for clear communication
  • You should have a comfortable set-up to help aid your concentration
  • Ensure you test your set-up in the days prior to the class, if you would like to test the link with us then let us know, we are happy to help arrange this

If you have any questions for us regarding your training set-up then please get in touch at least a few days before your training is due to start. This will give us time to help sort out any issues that may arise.

Grasshopper Level 2+ Training - Live Online Course

Join Simply Rhino's experienced Grasshopper3D trainers to continue your Grasshopper journey, following our Grasshopper Level 1 course, with our live online and certified Grasshopper Level 2+ course.

The aim of this course is to provide you with an in-depth understanding of Grasshopper3D and two of its main plug-ins, Kangaroo and Weaverbird, giving you a full grasp of parametric modelling, form finding, mesh and SubD manipulation. Throughout the 7-week course, we will look at the underlying logic behind Grasshopper, including its complex data tree structure, irregular surface paneling, mesh modelling, genetic algorithm and SubD/remeshing.

Grasshopper Plug-ins, Kangaroo and Weaverbird

We will also look at physics simulation and optimisation through Kangaroo, including planarization, form-finding and bending forces to reproduce material behaviour within the parametric model and create construction-aware geometry. We will look at mesh subdivision with Weaverbird to model tree-like structures. We will also show you how to develop your own set of tools through user objects.

Fun is an architectural designer and Associate at Mamou-Mani Architects, her work incorporates research, parametric design, and fabrication management.

Clinton is an Associate at Mamou-Mani Architects. He is an Architect and a Computational designer, riveted in parametric, computational, and generative design.

Amazing course would do it again and would definitely do a level 3 follow-up course with Arthur and Fun if it was available. The best thing about this course was that the tutors were asking us to do exercises along with them so it felt like an actual learning experience where you have to try to figure stuff out before we solve the problem together and all of that is happening in real time. I can't think of any better way to structure these lessons as the choice of exercises seemed to be optimized for learning. The pace was good, not slow but there was always room for questions. Best value for money, totally worth as it was way better than learning from YouTube and I can employ the skills in my own project now.

Grasshopper Course Outcome - Inspired and Ready to Create!

Although the class is based on a pre-defined schedule, each class is always different depending on the audience and requests happening throughout. We will make sure that the class matches your expectations and ambitions with the software. Most importantly, we want you to leave the class inspired and ready to use and create with the software at all stages of design.

Course Target Audience - Parametric Improvers

The class is aimed at people who have already undertaken our Grasshopper Level 1 Course or who use Grasshopper in their work on a daily basis. It is also preferable to have an intermediate level in Rhinoceros. Although Grasshopper is mostly used for design, the class is about parametric thinking and workflow and therefore is not addressed at a specific profession. Over the past several years of delivering Grasshopper Level 2 we have had architects, engineers, industrial designers, jewellery designers, contractors, project managers and artists attending the class.
