Press release from Luxology:
Mountain View, CA. – Now that modo 601 [1] 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 [2]. 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 [3] 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.
