The story of Murray’s progress

Murray Sharp

Freelance Automotive/Product designer

Hey guys, another wonderful story!I have seen a few render shots from a Concept on the internet and didn’t know who is the designer. After a while I found out the designer, 3d modeler and visualizer of that concept is someone named Murray Sharp.I wish I could share the renders but he asked me to keep them off line because of copyright infringement.

‍

After a few months, a new user signed up in my Academy and sent me this message:

“I am so excited to hear from you. I’ve been looking for a top level Alias course for ages, and this one looks very promising.

I have scheduled a meeting for tomorrow. I look forward to meeting you.”

Murray had an online meeting with me asking for the best way to learn Sub-D modeling in Alias. I asked about his concept render shots and he replied: “This is an Alias Nurbs model but the modeling alone took me a year, so I am very keen to learn Sub-D to try speed up my workflow!”

Here is a screen shot of his final model:

Murray reviews Alias Subdivision Course by MS3D Academy:

“The Audi RSQ8 sub-D modelling course has been so helpful.

Being from South Africa it has been difficult to have access to any quality automotive design training, so MS3D courses are invaluable to me. The step by step approach from start to finish is great.

One area I think can be approved is in the beginning of the tutorial to explain a little more about your thinking behind the subd layout. I was following blindly rather than understanding the theory behind it. By the end of the tutorial I understand why you made all your layout decisions but it would’ve been more beneficial to understand that upfront.

Fantastic course, thanks so much!”

Mike tells you more about Alias Subdivision:

“I think Sub-D modeling is very powerful! It’s a game changer in the creative collaborative process between designers and modelers. I go back and forth between Nurbs and Sub-D modeling. The Alias interface makes it easy to hybrid work in the same environment. Sub-D definitely has a place in the early part of development / design exploration.

My workflow these days is to model in Sub-D’s early in the project to explore design and problem solving with engineers/designers quickly and at some point rebuild in Nurbs when necessary for proper critical data.

As a former clay modeler working in Sub-D’s brings me some of that that satisfying familiar clay modeling style to the digital environment. In a way you can say Sub-D is the digital clay of Alias. But like anything the more you practice something the better you get at it. Understanding how to organize your Sub-D quad flow and modeling approach is key to success in Sub-D. I’m a fan!”

I have had many students from famous brands like Hyundai and Audi joined this!

I Hope I can have you on board soon, Mohammad.

The story of David’s progress

Davide Lombardi

Senio Product Designer | CMF designer

Hey guys, I want to tell you the story of David who joined one of our courses and became successful in a few weeks.

David got his masters degree from SPD university in Transportation Design and after following our courses, he is currently working on Alias modeling projects, prototypes, etc. He sent me screenshots of his work in progress and I am very happy to see he is achieving the goal which was his dream before.

After following the course and learning the basics and foundation of Nurbs surfaces, he started working on a classic car exterior body project.

You can watch a screenshot below:

The car that he is working on is a Shelby Cobra with a few changes in design. Let’s call it a facelifted cobra.

Patches looks clean and it seems like the creator of these amazing surfaces followed his tutorials very good!

The Zebra shading shows the quality of surfaces much better:

David mentioned; “The model is not the perfection but I am satisfy. I’ll work on again after the feedback of the client when he will print the parts.”

We’ve transformed careers and changed futures
