MetaCreations Canoma
MetaCreations Canoma is a wonderful application that lets you turn scanned 2d images into realistic 3d models that you can navigate and animate in real time. Matt Neutra seeks to give you an in-depth understanding of Canoma in this Virtual Training Company tutorial. After familiarizing you with the interface, he will take you through a series of lessons on how to create a 3d model. He will guide you through setting up Canoma to meet your needs, how to prepare and build projects, how animation works in Canoma, and advanced modeling techniques, such as the use of geometric tricks. To get started right away, simply click one of the topics below. |
