The independent Matrix 9 class starts with the fundamentals and has no prerequisite: 20 three-hour sessions, 60 instructional hours and two projects in sessions 10 and 20. Mobina Mohammadvali leads only this class and the independent six-session From Idea to 3D masterclass at DIDAR.
The programme at a glance: teaching, review and two projects

The technical reality: Matrix 9 dates from 2017
Gemvision/Stuller introduced Matrix 9.0 on 12 April 2017, describing it as 3D CAD software for original jewellery design. That announcement named features including Smart Pattern, Clayoo 2.5 and an updated Texture Builder.
Stuller’s official transition page now presents Matrix among its legacy products. Matrix 9 should therefore not be marketed as the latest release. This class deliberately teaches that version, but operating-system compatibility, installation, licensing and minimum hardware must be clarified before final enrolment.
If teaching covers only button locations, it ages with the interface. If it teaches geometry, form and production logic, the skill can outlast the version.
Independent masterclass — From Idea to 3D
This six-session path begins with a source of inspiration but prevents the reference from becoming a literal jewellery copy. Participants extract formal qualities, build variations, resolve the form on the body, and only then move into Matrix/Rhino for the 3D model.
Find sources beyond jewellery clichés and build a moodboard.
Separate line, rhythm, volume, negative space, and proportion from the reference.
Build five to ten variations and select the strongest direction.
Place the form on the body with ergonomics and making logic.
Choose a curve, surface, solid, SubD, or hybrid strategy.
Critique and refine form, proportion, manufacturability, and detail.
How are the course and projects structured?
The first project is presented in session 10 and the second in session 20. File review, jury assessment and critique take place within the same 20-session path. Recorded videos are provided to participants who complete the exercises, keeping practice inside the learning agreement.
Participants should install Rhino 5, Matrix 9, Magic and MatrixGold. The Matrix 9 Masterclass page with Mobina Mohammadvali holds the confirmed information for this independent class: Sundays from 4:00 to 7:00 PM, capacity 20, and tuition of 55,000,000 toman per participant.
Frequently asked questions
Which software does Mobina Mohammadvali’s masterclass use?
Participants should install Rhino 5, Matrix 9, Magic and MatrixGold. Matrix 9 was released in 2017 and is now considered a legacy product.
How many sessions are there, and when does the course run?
The course runs on Sundays from 4:00 to 7:00 PM with a capacity of 20 participants. It includes 20 three-hour sessions and 60 instructional hours, with no prerequisite; the start date will be announced shortly.
Which DIDAR classes does Mobina Mohammadvali lead?
Only two paths: the independent Matrix 9 class and the six-session From Idea to 3D masterclass. Each has its own page and interest form.
Will Matrix 9 install on any laptop?
No such claim has been published. Because Matrix 9 is legacy software, compatibility, installation and minimum hardware requirements must be checked and announced before final enrolment.
