ALIAS 2024 MASTERCLASS
We asked Mike to do some production testing on Alias 2024 during the development beta cycles to prove the software in production use. As a result, you may notice small variations in User Interface style and layout in the released version of Alias 2024 – tools and icons may look a little different.
Out of that testing comes a Masterclass on modeling in Alias 2024. This content equates to 4-7 hours of modeling condensed into 30 minutes, which are spread out over 4 episodes.
Alias 2024 Masterclass, Series 01 recap
E01: Establishing the basics: from set-up through developing volume and form to rear graphic details
E02: Refining the form: how to develop the basic concept of the package
In Series 02, Mike shifts gears to work on an autonomous vehicle for utility applications.
