Course detail
Computer Modelling - Rhinoceros 3D
FSI-YPMAcad. year: 2010/2011
The course is concerned with basic knowledge of work with 3D graphic software. Introducing both Nurbs and Polygonal modelling approaches. Practical use of Rhinoceros 3D software (making complex curves and surfaces from curves, making volumes form surfaces, working with layers, joining parts into a complex objects, basics of photorealistic visualization in Flamingo rendering plug-in module and basics of file format conversion in order to use in different modelling software.

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.
