Mountain View, CA. – Now that modo 601 is out; it’s time to explore it. Starting today, modo users can train themselves in the art of texture painting through a set of brand new video tutorials taught by Richard Yot. The project-based lessons demonstrate how to use modo’s paint tools, Shader Tree, and the Preview Renderer to produce custom photorealistic textures for a tree frog, a corroded oil drum and a classic leather chair.

This downloadable course features nearly four hours of video content and includes 6 LXO files and 62 assorted images, comprising of the most comprehensive guide to modo painting that has ever been released. The tutorials are available now in the Luxology store and are priced at $35.

Richard Yot is a London-based illustrator who creates quirky characters and worlds for them to inhabit. Last year, Richard used his years of painting, photography, and 3D experience to write a practical and extensive guide to light for both traditional and digital artists. The book teaches fundamentals that can be applied across all artistic disciplines and covers both the story-telling uses of lighting as well as the technical background necessary to put it all into action.
