Good morning all! how are you ? I would like to know if you have any websites or books, YouTube channels to learn Rhino3d, I am in jewelry but anyway. thank you very much

Start on the Learn page.
The Userā€™s Guide is a good set of free, progressive, general Rhino tutorials.
These are intended to teach you the tools and are not aimed at one specific market like Jewelry. Jewelry os a small slice of the more broad Industrial Design field.

Iā€™m self taught in Rhino 11 years ago, there werenā€™t that much of free training materials on youtube, but now there are plenty.

The Get Started series are just great way to start because it is a project driven. and you may learn some advanced tricks as you go through the basics.

Also I recommend SimplyRhino UK ā€¦

There are many other advanced channels that are targeting Rhino + Grasshopper that you will discover as you go

Iā€™ve learnt Rhino by using real examples in my job with using help or experience of other users in this forum.
Being czech I also find a set of 16 great tuorials made by Jan Slanina from Dimensio company,(czech reseller) and published in magazine Pixel.

Iā€˜m also self-taught, almost. Any tutorials out there are great for getting started. The problem with tutorials is, that they only solve very specific or unrelated problems. In order to be productive, solving real tasks is important.

Like any tool, Grasshopper has limits. And you quickly reach them on real problems. In order to go beyond these limitations, I found it extremely useful to enhance my general coding, modeling and mathematical skills. Practically seen, I donā€™t see the need for many problems to be solved in GH. Because GH is a tradeoff. As a ā€˜visualā€™ scripting editor, its main purpose is to automate CAD work. But as you design an algorithm, you also loose a lot of freedom. Solving small well-suited tasks is very rewarding and motivating.

Another aspect, Grasshopper, like any software, is full of good and bad decisions. So always ask yourself why something is like it is. E.g. Managing data with data-trees might be required for node editors, but hand-written code allows you to work with data much more intuitive. So, in case you donā€™t know it yet, learn coding and become as independent as possible. Knowing how to code, helps you with Grasshopper more than any GH tutorial can.

Regarding modeling, a good ā€œtutorialā€ is to reproduce one of your manual modeling processes. But then you quickly see how limited GH is, especially because its lacking many modeling tools like ā€˜matchingā€™ a surface. Its quite challenging to workaround these limitations and sometimes its just not possible. So learning how to do hybrid modeling is the key for many practical problems.

As a conclusion, donā€™t expect too much from GH specific tutorials. Also enhance your general knowledge, be practical and try to map your modeling knowledge onto a GH definition.
