Here’s just one example of the many emails I receive from Post Grads. who cannont find Entry level Alias Modelling, Des./Modelling jobs:
“Dear Sir, I have recently graduated in Transport Design and I am very happy with the course that I chose to follow, with one exception. The Alias teacher on my course was a great guy, but whereas he was brilliant at 3D Max, he didn’t seem to have been trained in Alias and as a result we didn’t learn much more than the basics. I am an average designer, so my chosen career path is Automotive Alias Modelling or if I’m lucky Des/Modelling.
Various major OEM’s have head-hunted the 3 or 4 outstanding students from my year, all of whom have parents who paid for expensive Alias courses for them. The remainder of us had to rely on the limited amount of Alias taught within our course and in adition to this, we had very few Alias hours per week on a workstation.
I have had a few interviews for Automotive Alias jobs, but so far have had zero success. In all my interviews I have been asked:
- Which exteriors I have built to Class A principals (ie. showing an understanding of Bezier surface modelling)
- How much Reverse Engineering do I know
- And in several interviews I was given a mesh and asked to surface part of it to a tol of <1.00mm.”
Like most of my student group, I know very little about Nurbs from Mesh and I am very slow at it, so those Interviews were Absolute Hell!
Can you please tell me how I can get a job, when the level of Alias I have been taught is way below Industry Entry level requirement.
Yours sincerely
Vijay Desai“
Before I answer your question, I feel it only fair to commend the college lectures worldwide who work very hard for their salary and do a great job. The reason that there are so few lectures who have Industrial competence in Alias Automotive, is a matter of simple economics. An Alias modeller earns 50€ per hour/60USD. whereas a highly skilled college lecturer earns just 15-18€/18-20 USD, so it is unreasonable to expect a lecturer, who must have knowledge and skills across a wide range of platforms, to have Industrial level Alias skills. If you want to become an Alias specialist, you must do the hard miles in your own time. To all college lecturers out there. RESPECT!
Hi Vijay,
First of all there is no need to panic about your lack of Alias skills!
Whilst it is true to say that with your current skill level nobody is likely to offer you a job in this economic climate. However to raise yhour Alias skill level, is an achievable task.
I deal with a lot of Post Grads. who are in your position. Some are talented Designers and other want to become Alias Modellers.
I offer a very comprehensive Alias Automotive course, which includes a high level of Reverse Engineering (you get to surface and entire exterior using Nurbs from Mesh ).
As regards modelling to Class A Principals , on the this course you get to build 2 more exteriors, one of which is the Audi A5 Sportback 2009/ 2012 face-lift.
All students who have completed my course find Alias jobs, without exception.
Interviews panels are always impressed by students who have 3 complete exteriors modelled with Bezier surfaces to show and who can surface a mesh quickly and acurately. It is quite normal nowadays for an interviewee to be thrown a mesh of say the front corner of a car or a complete but relatively simple exterior and given 5 to eight hours to surface it. All graduates from LearningAlias are equipped with these skills and feel comfortable performing, such interview tasks.
I have trained Trans/Des. post grads. who were working in Gfx. studios or worse still, in shops and trained them to entry level, reulting in successfull employment in the Automotive Industry.
As many students cannot afford even 167€ /200USD. per month , I allow them to pay 100€ / 120 USD. and then pay the outstanding balance once they have an Alias job.
Timing: Post Grads. need between 3-9 months to complete the LearningAlias course and have all the skills that Industry is demanding.
kind regards

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.
