This series of video tutorials takes you step by step (no pun intended) through the creation of an athletic shoe. Not only will you be shown how to model the shoe, piece by piece, you will also learn how to create UV maps and prepare the shoe for a presentation rendering. Right down to the stitching. As always, you can opt to purchase the entire video album - or only the individual videos of interest to you. Models in modo's .LXO format are supplied with many of the videos so that you have access to the project at each stage.

This series of downloadable video tutorials has been especially designed for the beginning modo user who is serious about learning modo, and the series is far more than a “tour” of modo. The tutorial starts with modeling the watch using Subdivision surfaces and using techniques including Symmetry, Falloffs and Action Centers. Attention is paid to the important concepts of scaling and organizing the items you create. By the time the watch, strap and buckle are done; you will have a basic grounding in regular polygon, and SubD modeling techniques.

The Le Mans race track in France is one of the world’s most famous and demanding courses. And one of the most famous of all race cars to tackle it was based on the fabled C9 chassis from Sauber that was supercharged with a Mercedes Benz powerplant and debuted in the 1987 World Sportscar Championship (the C9 had numerous wins in 1988, 1989).

This series of videos is designed to help you tap the new 3D capabilities of Photoshop CS3 Extended, even if you have never used 3D before. Luxology is in a unique position to offer these videos as we worked closely with Adobe during the development of CS3, supplying technology and content to Adobe Systems. We are excited with the results and have built this video series to help introduce people to what you can now do in Photoshop.

The seahorse has some of the most unusual characteristics of any fish in the sea. Its ribbed and often semi-translucent body is a perfect example of what we at Luxology called a “structured organic” shape. Learning how to model one in modo is not only a great introduction to sculpting, it is also provides guidance on when to use traditional modeling and painting techniques that complement sculpting. The techniques used in this tutorial can be used to model objects like backpacks, upholstered furniture, car interiors and any variety of natural subjects like plants, reptiles, or fantasy creatures.

This two album series dives into how to harness modo’s modeling, painting and baking tools together in order to produce efficient assets for use in a game – or any project where you want detailed and yet lightweight scenes. Our subject is a dingy back alley, the kind of place you might find behind an urban restaurant, complete with grime and graffiti….a perfect setting for getting the most of modo.

This new video album accompanies the evaluation version of modo 301 and is an ideal first introduction to modo from Luxology’s Andy Brown. The album consists of 8 downloadable videos and content material that introduce key concepts and workflows in modo.
