Luxology has released two additional modo 302 video albums created by their Training Division. The albums, entitled CONCEPT CAR and CARTOON KID, are provided in HD resolution and provide step-by-step instruction on how to efficiently use modo software to model, paint and render.
The Luxology Training Division, led by Andy Brown, was formed more than a year ago in an effort to answer the growing demand for high-quality learning materials for both novice and experienced 3D modo artists. Since its formation, there has been a continual flow of professional quality training materials on a variety of real-world topics.
A typical video album from Luxology is priced at $25 and provides approximately 90 minutes of instruction and sample content. Each video is downloadable for immediate viewing and is formatted for playback on Mac and PC systems.
CONCEPT CAR delves into an innovative workflow for rapidly creating a concept car by combining sculpting and traditional polygon/SubDivision surface modeling tools in modo 302. The album includes four video tutorials that cover sculpting, topology re-creation, detailing and rendering of a car into a background photo using physically based daylight for lighting. A special metallic car shader is also provided.
CARTOON KID consists of five videos illustrating the process of using modo 302 to model a cartoon character based on original conceptual sketches, which are provided as part of the training. The video outlines techniques that are relevant to the creation of any kind of bipedal character.
For contestants entering the Skuuma Home and Office Furniture Design competition, Andy Brown and The Luxology Training Division have produced a set of four additional modo videos that explain how to build a variety of contemporary furniture using modo.
All modo training videos are produced in HD so as to preserve on-screen detail of the user interface.
The CONCEPT CAR and CARTOON KID tutorials are each sold for $25 and are available for quick download on Luxology's website. For more information or to purchase visit www.luxology.com/store/training_materials.aspx.
