| This CD-ROM is aimed at the first time
user and covers the equivalent of our three day introduction one to one training course,
2D/3D modelling, animation, materials, lights, track view, dummy’s and much, much,
more. Each command listed below is shown in detail with an individual screen
cam AVI with expert commentary, we will show you how to do this function correctly with an
example. (194 AVI's, Total Time 3Hrs, 44 Min) |
