Oregon3D Inc., The Center for Visualization Technologies, has scheduled a two-day seminar devoted to Discreet's 3ds max as an effective design and visualization tool for the weekend of June 14-15, 2003. Taught by Discreet-certified instructor Gary M. Davis, this class will focus on importing models efficiently, creating/applying materials, lighting techniques (including global illumination) and rendering out photo-realistic or technical (illustrative) images. 3D modeling and animation will also be discussed in respect to augmenting third party models and showcasing a product or building.
The Design and Visualization class will take place from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at Oregon3D's training facility in downtown Portland, Oregon. The registration fee is $500. For additional information and class registration, visit www.oregon3d.com or contact Oregon3D's toll free number at (866) 626-9100.
Oregon3D classes provide a collaborative learning environment that goes beyond the theory of operation to integrate course work with real-life production practices. Oregon3D's 10,000-square-foot, premier facility provides the working environment and equipment used by professional creative artists in the visualization, game, film and video industries.
