When it comes to learning a new software,

it can be hard to find trainings tailored to landscape design.

You want to present outdoor designs that truly sell the vision. But learning 3D modeling and creating photo-realistic visuals can feel overwhelming without the right tools and the right training.
At The Landscape Library, we’ve helped hundreds of designers learn how to create renderings. Our Rhino 3D Training course is built for landscape professionals ready to create stunning environments without wasting time on YouTube or generic architecture tutorials.

We walk you through the modeling, materials, and rendering process step-by-step — so you can present your ideas with confidence, land better clients, and design at the next level.

"Before this Rhino 3D Training course, I felt what I gave clients was just not enough. I had great design ideas, but no real way to show them, and clients just weren’t getting excited. Rhino always seemed too complicated to learn on my own. But this course broke everything down into clear, manageable steps. I built my first 3D model and rendered it in Enscape within days. Now I finally have high-quality renderings that match the quality of my designs, and I actually look forward to presenting them."

Create Renderings

Turn your 3D landscape models into stunning realistic renderings with materials and textures with Enscape's asset library complete with vegetation, furniture and more.

"I had used SketchUp for years, but it always felt limiting. I could build quick models, but the detail and realism just weren’t there. I was nervous to switch to Rhino because it looked so technical. But this course made the transition smooth. Everything was taught step by step with a landscape focus, which made all the difference. Now I can model freely and render in Enscape with results that feel professional and polished. It’s completely changed the way I present my work."

Here’s everything you’ll learn — plus the exact tools you’ll use to start designing with Rhino.

Rhino 3D Training for Landscape Design

How is the Rhino 3D Training taught?

In this course, you'll learn 3D modeling in Rhino for landscape design by working through a real-life residential property from start to finish.

Begin by importing a plat of survey and drafting in 2D before building custom topography and detailed 3D models of outdoor elements like pools, pergolas, kitchens, and planting areas.

Finally, bring your design to life with high-quality, photo-realistic renderings using Enscape and its built-in asset library of vegetation, furniture, and lighting.

We believe every software training should be tailored to landscape design.

The problem?
Most college courses or online trainings in the market are too generalized.
With so many interface options and ways to perform commands for different fields—it’s easy to feel stuck before you even begin.

We believe designers shouldn’t have to feel frustrated. That’s exactly why we created a Rhino 3D Training for Landscape Design—an online course designed to shortcut the guesswork and help you build real skills, fast.

Here’s how we help:

  • Enroll in the Course — Whether you're brand new or ready to go all-in, there's a clear, guided roadmap.
  • Follow the Step-by-Step Tutorials — These tutorials are designed to equip you with the tools and workflows to build 3D landscapes
  • Design a Real Project — From blank screen to final plan, you’ll design step-by-step with expert instruction along the way.

What You’ll Learn in This Rhino 3D Training Course

If you’re a landscape designer looking to elevate your work, mastering 3D modeling is no longer optional. It’s essential. This Rhino 3D training was created specifically to give landscape professionals a practical, design-focused path to learning Rhino without the overwhelm of generic architecture tutorials.

This course teaches you how to use Rhino effectively for landscape-specific workflows. We start at the very beginning, so even if you're a complete beginner with no prior 3D experience, you’ll feel confident. The lessons build progressively, helping you develop a solid foundation in 2D drafting before moving into 3D modeling and rendering.

Start with 2D to Build 3D with Confidence

Every successful 3D model begins with accurate 2D work. This Rhino 3D training emphasizes the importance of clean, organized linework as the starting point of your design. You’ll learn how to use Rhino’s 2D drafting tools to lay out patios, pathways, planting beds, and grading lines with landscape intent. Understanding 2D commands first gives you the control needed to build 3D models that are both visually strong and technically precise.

Learn to Model Realistic Outdoor Environments

Once your 2D plan is in place, the course guides you into modeling. This is where your design takes shape in three dimensions. You’ll learn how to extrude site elements, model terrain, build walls and steps, and create smooth spatial transitions. Everything you model is rooted in outdoor design, not generic forms. Whether you're designing a backyard or a full landscape masterplan, you’ll develop the skills to produce accurate, buildable, and compelling 3D models.

Real-Time Rendering with Enscape

Clear communication is key in design, and rendering helps you present your ideas with clarity. In this Rhino 3D training, you'll be introduced to Enscape, a real-time rendering tool that integrates directly with Rhino. You’ll learn how to apply materials, adjust lighting, add shadows, and create immersive scenes that reflect the mood and detail of your landscape vision. No complicated exporting or third-party software is required.

Built for Landscape Professionals

This Rhino 3D course is tailored for landscape designers, landscape architects, and outdoor-focused creatives. Unlike general modeling tutorials, every lesson is built around real-world landscape projects. You won’t waste time modeling buildings or unrelated objects. Instead, you’ll focus on modeling spaces that people live in and interact with—yards, gardens, terraces, and pathways.

Even if you’ve struggled to learn 3D in the past, this course simplifies the process with step-by-step guidance. It's structured to meet you where you are and help you progress confidently through each phase of the design process.

Outcomes You Can Expect

By the end of this Rhino 3D training, you’ll be able to:
  • Draft clean and organized landscape plans in 2D
  • Build professional 3D models of outdoor environments
  • Render your work in real time to clearly communicate ideas
  • Present confidently to clients, contractors, and collaborators
Whether you’re expanding your design process or improving your visuals, this course equips you with the tools and methods needed to succeed. Every lesson is taught by a professional landscape designer who understands how to translate ideas into powerful visual presentations.
