Résumé

3D Imagery often works its way into unlikely places. No longer reserved only for special effects films, 3D imagery often slips unnoticed into non-effects television shows and films, enhancing scenes by filling in foliage, opening windows in a building, or even adding birds within trees. At the forefront of 3D modeling enhancements is Luxology's modo.

The Official Luxology modo Guide provides product designers, graphics artists, architects, and game developers with an A-Z tutorial for tapping into the phenomenal creativity of the modo 3D software. It offers a guide to the many tools of modo 201/202- explaining how they function and what they are capable of. However, this book serves as more than a simple extension of your modo manual. You won't just read about the technical features of modo-you'll dive right in and create your own projects as you progress through the book. Now you can harness the power of this amazing 3D software product!
