Marc Berry, designer and 3D specialist, takes you on a complete journey through the workings of Amapi Pro 7.5, from basic principles to high-end output. This 13-hour course should satisfy everyone wishing to properly learn Amapi Pro 7.5, whether an outright beginner in the world of 3D, or someone who s switched to Amapi Pro after a long gestation period with another product. The course includes a 45-minute movie-sequence with full commentary where Marc guides you step-by-step through the NURBS modeling of a contemporary domestic product, from start to finish. Work Files are included. To get started, click on one of the lessons below.
