Many chapters adeptly demonstrate Rhino's power as a NURBS modeler (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines). NURBS is a computer modelling paradigm that makes it easy to build curved surfaces and organic shapes. There are chapters that go into detail in building shapes such as a dragonfly (based on a photographic template), a coffeepot with a lid and a cartoon-style boy character.
The most interesting chapter covers the process of modelling a human face based on a plaster casting. This chapter offers numerous photos documenting the process of creating the plaster mould from someone's face, filling it to get the cast and digitising it into Rhino using a digitising scribe.
The accompanying CD-ROM has all the models discussed in the book and a quasi-demo version of Rhino that has all features enabled ("quasi" because saving things from the program becomes disabled after the 15th time). Rhino NURBS 3D Modeling works well for new Rhino users and for artists new to computer modelling interested in learning how a dedicated NURBS modeler works. --Mike Caputo
