SAVANNA3D R7 is a powerful tool that brings a vast library of 3D architectural models to Rhino users. The recent introduction of SubD blocks has further enhanced the design capabilities of this software, offering a new dimension of flexibility and precision in 3D modeling. This guide will explore how to navigate and maximize the use of these new SubD blocks in SAVANNA3D R7.
SubD, or Subdivision Surface, is a method of representing a smooth surface via the division of a coarse polygon mesh. In the context of SAVANNA3D R7, SubD blocks refer to 3D models created using this method, offering a high level of detail and complexity. The new SubD blocks in SAVANNA3D R7 include a variety of models, from cocktail glassware to lounge chairs, all created for detailed 3D architectural modeling.
The SAVANNA3D R7 library houses over 1,600 detailed 3D architectural models, all available in the 3DM file format. The library also includes various Grasshopper definitions to create parametric models. These models are all either 100% NURBS, SubDs, or parametric definitions made in Rhino 7. This provides users with a wide array of choices for their design needs.
You can preview how to use these blocks and download around 40 free blocks from the library by accessing Chapter 2.1 for free.
By subscribing to SAVANNA3D R7, users can access and download the entire library, comprising all 1,600+ blocks. This subscription is not limited to a specific period; once you've downloaded a block, it's yours to keep forever. The subscription also includes any new blocks sporadically added during a twelve-month subscription.
Using the coupon code RHINO3DEDUCATION20 at checkout gives you a 20% discount, allowing for more savings. However, this offer is available for a limited time only, so it's best to take advantage of it as soon as possible.
Exploring new design avenues is an essential aspect of architectural modeling, and the new SubD blocks in SAVANNA3D R7 offer just that. By utilizing these intricate 3D models, you can enhance your design quality and bring more versatility to your work.
However, it's essential to remember that the world of design software is continually evolving. Therefore, staying updated with the latest advancements is key to maintaining an edge in your field.
