Post Description

In this course, author Dan Ablan walks through the process of understanding the modo workflow while learning to create 3D models and animations. The course teaches fundamental tasks, such as modeling polygons and applying materials with the Shader Tree, while exploring scene building in depth through advanced lighting, camera, and animation techniques. The course also covers modo's schematic tools and shows how to render animations for various playback media. Exercise files accompany the course.
