Luxology Modo 402 + VBS2 Training Courses

For the 3D modeller out there, particularly ones with quick and easy access to certain locations in Germany, there's a modo 402 roadshow to promote the new features in the upcoming package. Basically modo provides a cheaper alternative to 3DS Max and for the average VBS2 developer it is fit for purpose, I have used it in the past and I know of a few people who are big fans of it developing content for VBS2. I am even considering a purchase of a license just for home use as I can see myself using it more often.

For anyone interested in checking out the roadshows, click here. Alternatively, you can check out the Luxology Website for information on modo, imageSynth and their other related products here.

Additionally, for those of you with money to burn in close proximity to Prague in the Czech Republic or in the state of Ohio in the US, BIA/BISim are running Terrain Generation and Modelling training courses focussed specifically on the VBS2 Developer Suite. The course for terrain basically covers what's in the manual over 4 days, and costs a massive $2300 a student, with 5 spots on the course panel. The modelling course is of similar scope and over 5 days costing $2500. Interested parties can find more info here.

If anyone is seeking alternatives to the more official training, I know a few people who can help and provide a similar level of training if not one that exceeds what is provided by BISim. If interested, get in touch and I'll see what I can do for you.
