Rhino Training for a holiday gift

My boyfriend has aspirations to design boats and I’d love to get him some Rhino training he can use as a holiday gift. I know nothing about Rhino though so does anyone have any suggestions of what I should buy or coordinate for him?

Hi @Jessica_Day

Here are some free links for Boat design you might find further paid tuts on their links. I think many of the paid tutorials use plugins geared toward ship building in rhino that cost extra money like Orca.

Orca is a marine plugin geared toward boat design but is a paid addon.

Oh gosh! This is super helpful. Should I get him the Orca add on then as a gift, as well??

Hi @Jessica_Day

This I don’t know, I’m not a boat builder. I’d wait a few days hopefully the boat building people will chime in.

Here is the orca link, students get a discount and they have yearly subscription or perpetual license which costs more.
