Meet T-Splines, the Rhino plugin for flexible surface modeling. Designed by Autodesk, built for designers like you, T-Splines allows you to model very complex organic shapes much more quickly than what's possible with Rhino alone. In this introductory course, Jean Gorospe provides a comprehensive overview of how T-Splines works. Jean covers the essential tools for working with meshes, creating and editing a model from scratching, converting models to NURBS, and refining your work in Rhino. Chapter 4 focuses on a sample project featuring a model airplane, but you can easily follow along with your own assets.
