About the Learning Alias Tutorials
The tutorials in this book present examples of typical concept design workflows.
The tutorials introduce the powerful tools and interactive features of Alias, and
demonstrate how to use them to accomplish your concept design tasks.
The first six tutorials introduce modeling tools to build your experience level.
We recommend that you start with the first tutorial and proceed sequentially
through the modeling tutorials, because they build on each other.
The next two tutorials introduce rendering tools and skills.
These tutorials are densely packed with information and techniques that may
be new to you. You may want to re-read the lessons after completion, or even
repeat the more difficult lessons.
You can view movies (in Flash format) demonstrating each tutorial in the online
documentation. In order to view these movies, you may need to install a Flash
player. You can download Flash plug-ins for your browser for free from
www.adobe.com.
Disclaimer: There may be slight discrepancies in procedures between the movies
and the written documentation. If you encounter a discrepancy, use the written
documentation version because it will be the most current.
