At LearningAlias you learn how to make Top-Flight
Professional standard models
Nothing is swept under the carpet. You learn how to model evry single detail
of prestigious exteriors like the wonderful A5 Sportback, dsigned by my personal friend Satoshi Wada of SWdesignTokyo.
With Alias Automotive models of this pro. standard
to show at interview, 95% percent of my students walk into jobs
as the Automotive Industry is crying out for guys who have these
advanced modeling skills

I have had some good feed back on my Alias Wheel Tutorial
In the Automotive Industry the wheel is not part of the main Alias Exterior work flow. Alias Modellers use light weight file size “Styling” Wheels on their models.They can import a heavy wheel when the Designer wants to see a high quality rendering.When I worked at Audi Design, they had a very talented female Alias modeller, who’s current project was designing and Alias modelling, just wheels. They are a specialist item.I’ve had a question about how to achieve Catia V5 tolerances on this model, which I’ll answer on this site soon. I have several students to look after and of course their problems have to come first.
Hi to All My Fiends Trying to Learn Alias
Understanding Audi Surfaces
The Audi Design budget is one of the biggest in the industry and they are consequently able achieve very high quality surfaces. Audi surfaces are more accurate and more complex than many other manufacturers.If You Can Build an Audi Model Well, You Can Build Any Vehicle, but you wont be able to build an A5 coupe correctly on your own, just from tiny canvas imgs. To build even a reasonable model which includes the subtle styling lines of an A5, you’ll have to find one in the street/car park and study it and photograph it from every angle and then when you’ve done that zoom in a capture all the intricate surfaces. Just one example is how the hood top flows down the side of the protruding “Bentley style grille”. All this detail was worked out on a 1:1 scale model with the Stylist. Then it was scanned into Alias Surface and modelled, so You can’t build the real thing from canvases.
This is how my students work:
They model the exterior to the best of their abilities from the canvases and photographs that they have taken from a real car (Often the local Audi dealership will let you shoot your pics. as long as you explain why you need them). Students get started and then send me a copy of their .wire I then study it and using my experience from working at Audi Design, I mark up screenshots pointing out where they have misread the surfaces and suggesting work flows for difficult areas etc. Working with my support students don’t get really stuck and stressed out. They complete the model with me coaching them and then go on to make a second model with far less help from me. They may not realise it but they are well on the way to becoming competent CAD modellers.I’ve been helping Andrea in Rome with the most difficult surfaces on her A5 Coupe; the front fender and the rear “C” pillar.I will be writing a post on these problems very soon.

Rendering in Alias
To Learn Alias Automotive to Industry Entry level has been made easier.
For student’s who have the objective of finding a CAD job in the near future, I still teach One to One students and all of these students get Automotive Modeling or Design/Modeling jobs, so it’s a great investment to make. The hourly rate is very high and there are vacancies in UK. France, Germany, Sweden, Spain, USA, Brazil etc. I can only take a maximum of 5-7 students at any one time. I teach all levels right up to Post Graduates. I have never had a Private student fail to get an Alias Automotive job (Companies include Ferrari, GM, Lotus, Opel, Audi Seat etc. ). If you wish to apply for a place, please email me with all your details.
