In this first video of our Starfighter Detailing series we show the 3D student how to use Lightwave's Atlas UV Mapping feature to create quick, clean and useable UV Maps for hard surface type objects to be imported into 3D Coat for painting Normal, Color, and Specular Maps. Although you could use 3D Coat's built in Automated UV Mapping Tool for quick UV's. However depending on the complexity of the object, Automated UV's can result in overlapping UV's creating errors for painting. So in turn they are unusable. Although you could use 3D Coat's manual UV Unwrap Tools to get perfect UV's, but you may be in a position where you don't have the time for the process. So in this tutorial a very simple method is shown using Lightwave's powerful Atlas Map Tool that can unwrap complex and multiple layered objects in a few mouse clicks. Problem solving techniques are shown to improve your ability to get the best UV Unwrap possible using the Atlas Tool's settings. Running Time: 1 hr. 26 mins.

*In this first volume 3D Instructor Adam Gibson introduces the beginner Modo student to the basic modeling tools of Modo in an easy to understand series of mini tutorials. Learn the hidden secrets of the basic primitives tools. 2.5 hours of detailed training to get you up and started using Modo's powerful modeling interface. Running Time: 2 hrs. 33 mins. Level: Beginner Screen Resolution: 1440 x 900 pixels Format: MP4 Video (.mp4)

This video is intended for people looking for an inside view on a possible pipeline from 3D to Print. Knowledge of Model- and Layout's interface would be recommended. That said, if you pay close attention to the video you'll notice that all actions are clearly addressed.

In Print Production Techniques Volume I Lightwave instructor Charlot Cobben covers planning, resource gathering, modeling, surfacing, (UV-)texturing, lighting en final render output, combined with image enhancements for print in Photoshop and finally putting it all together in InDesign to create (as an example) a Sales leaflet. This video is based on a real life leaflet that has been created and used. You are guided to all of the steps and get some handy tips along the way.
