The first ever open enrollment Rhino class was held this August and sold out! We've now got another Rhino Level 1 Class scheduled for February 25-27 at the beautiful and spacious Learning Tree facilities in El Segundo, CA.
As was offered last time, we will extend a 10% discount to groups of three, space permitting.

Now, with V-Ray
Dave Schultze was recently at Fisher Price to run a 2-day V-Ray class for a group of their staff designers. V-ray has been long considered the industry's best rendering engine, and is now available as a plug-in for Rhino, the top modeling application for product and architecture.
For more information on V-ray and its capabilities, visit the Vray for Rhino website.
