Model, Texture, and Render a Photorealistic Ipod in Modo 401 – Day 1

Nov 8th in 3D Art, Luxology Modo, Rendering, Shaders, Texturing by Justin Mitrache

In this two part video tutorial, you will learn how to model, texture and render an iPod Nano 1st Gen in Modo 401. The techniques used here will be strictly poly modeling, and can therefore be applied to other 3D packages as well. The focus will be on the modeling and the texturing aspect, while the rendering process will be fairly simple in comparison to professional level renders.

Hello, my name is Justin Mitrache and I am a 21 year old freelance 3D artist from Romania. I discovered CG about 4 years ago but went full on it just over 2 years ago. I started out with 3ds Max and would now consider myself average (don't wanna brag :P) in about 3 different packages and counting! I hope you enjoy my video tutorials, and the best of luck to you all.

This tutorial is Day 1 in a series - Go to Day 2

On Day 1 of the tutorial we will be setting up the blueprints of the iPod, and begin the modeling process.

    I have no idea man. I think it has something to do with the problem with the videos, as you may notice, the introductory video now skips right to the end. Its an issue BipTV is working on.

    ghanem, i suggest you wait for BlipTV to fix the problem with the videos. Me and Kaleb fixed the problem on our side now its Blip’s turn. We hope it will get fixed soon and you all can enjoy the videos. Stay tuned for Day 2!

    Cheers,
    Justin

    Okay so now, apparently, the videos work for me, apart from the introduction video, which skips right to the end. But the other 2 work just fine…
