Feature Washes Out

Fender Washout Tutorial

You can find this in video format on the Autodek Alias Design Community website: http://aliasdesign.autodesk.com/learning/tutorials/details/Video_Washout_136031/It has been really tough for most of my students having to raise their game to work to the standards of  Roberto Tomarchio but I am pleased with the resulting surfaces that they have presented and would award them 6 – 8 out of 10, as I know that there are areas where the surface continuity simply isn’t up to production/industry standards, but that’s fine. I encourage my students to make their first model to the best of their ability not worrying or stopping when they can’t get something to work out 100%. I tell them to keep going and to FINISH the model. Students who drop half finished projects never make it in the very challenging Alias world. They learn a lot from the first finished model and after a critique from me the second attempt is very often MUCH better snd very importantly, they feel good about the experiece, simply because they feel that they have become better modellers.

Practice is your Greatest Friend

We all have been through highs as well as whopping great lows, struggling to understand a tutorial of this level, but you learn a lot and can then use the Align tool to much better effect and I understand how to get good Positioning as well as Curvature Cont. at adjacent surface boundaries even if you can’t always do it. You should spend every spare minute you get practicing Alias. It’s the only way to make it.

Pulling Power

Student Comment:”Since I have been doing top level tutorials I have become more competent at pulling CV’s to greater improve my surfaces.”________________________________________________________________
