Photoshop and Rhino: About Drawing, Modeling and Animation

Although Photoshop is an application that seems very complicated to everyone, and even those in the profession sometimes do not prefer to use it, I had researched and learned how to use it beforehand. I think it is a very enjoyable program. The freedom to make any changes you want to a picture is an incredible feeling. At the same time, it has a very easy interface to control several pictures, structures, and texts. It has a much simpler interface, especially compared to Rhino and Illustrator. Of course, preparing posters and collages with this interface is also a separate pleasure.

Later, we learned Rhino, which is used by architects to prepare three-dimensional digital models. Since the beginning of the semester, I needed an application that I could see three-dimensionally by changing the place of materials in the digital environment. It turned out that Rhino was the application I was looking for! I was really excited when our teachers at school mentioned the application. I think it is a program that makes many tasks easier and is enjoyable to use. Of course, the interface could be a little better, but it is still quite useful. After learning certain things in practice, we also learned how to get orthographic and actionometric drawings of an object we designed in three dimensions. Frankly, this came in handy in the complex organizations we did later, because drawing them by hand would have been a huge burden for all of us.

There is also the animation part of Photoshop and Rhino; I didn't know this before. The animation process in Photoshop was really difficult for me. It was a bit confusing at first, and then it became quite challenging. Determining the position, visibility, and movement of everything one by one and needing separate photos for all of these were definitely difficult. Animating in Rhino was much easier. Of course, there were some glitches, but Rhino was definitely easier for the animation I was trying to do. If you ask me, these two programs need to be used in different ways because they serve different purposes. While Photoshop is suitable for simpler visual works, Rhino is more useful for animating three-dimensional objects. However, I think it is very important to learn and use both.

I exported all the photos from Rhino one by one and edited this animation in Photoshop.

I made this animation by taking snapshots of each moment from the snapshot section of Rhino.
