modo is truly innovative 3D animation software. The software engineers at Luxology have come with an interface that has been constructed from the ground up- with speed and flexibility prioritised.

The MODO BASICS course is a 5 day fast-track introduction to modo. It covers all the essential base level topics needed to get started in 3D animation with modo. T

The 5 day MODO BASICS course will cover the following topics:-

Day 1. The interface and modo's unique modelling paradigm. Essential mesh creation, sculpting and keyboard shortcuts, a look at the complete tool-set and the construction of custom tools.

Day 2. Advanced mesh creation, using background images for reference, organic versus mechanical.

Day 3 Deformers and sculpting tools. Giving detail and life to a model using bump and displacement maps

Day 4. Lighting and texturing. How shaders are constructed in modo. UV maps and texture locators for positioning textures, specular highlights, transparency and masks on model surfaces. Lighting and shadows

Day 5. Hair. Creating a complete textured model with lighting. Image ink painting and bump mapping

Please be aware that there will be some inevitable timetable cross-over in the subjects taught over the 5 day period. Some topics may be covered earlier than scheduled and some later.

Training on the 5 day modo Basics course is available one-to-one
or in a group with one trainer to four students

Training starts at 10 in the morning and finishes at 5 in the evening. There is a one hour break for lunch
