modo has found a strong niche in creating virtual product shots for use in advertising and marketing. By using modo, you can create highly realistic shots of your products, reducing the need for product photography. In this course, Dan Ablan leads us through the workflow required to create such highly realistic 3D renders in modo. Discover the optimal settings for modeling, sculpting, and rendering; learn how to model real-world packaging; work with UV maps, Photoshop textures, and other basic materials; and light the products effectively. Dan closes with an overview of rendering the final 3D images for print or preview.

once again lynda.com proves to be useless for learning cg. maybe they should dovcourse on paint
Man, this is the worst Coca bottle render i’ve ever seen. Modo is great but this tutorial sucks.
How not to do a product shot, or 10 ways to get your client unhappy with the use of his company logo By Dan Ablan.
Seriously, Lynda and the other sites are DESPERATE to produce new tutorials.. this one looks like crap.. It should, as darknurb said, be called “How not to do a Product Shot in Modo By Dan Ablan”.
all 3 links are dead!!!!

Krasivo ! :D

Isn’t Dan Ablan among the more prominent and experienced instructors for the modo community?
I watched his modo 601 course and quite frankly it didn’t help much in terms of getting to grips with the program as a Maya user.
I guess modo requires an entirely different mindset to understand and use.
No he is not, he is just a dude that’s been around since the LW years making books and videos of this same level.
“How to not use modo and might as well use paint”
“…you can create highly realistic shots of your products…” Seriously?
in my opinion his techniques are incorrect and faulty. he just do it wrong
Man as the others said, that example render looks absolutely terrible. Not Modo’s fault at all. Seriously, who hired this guy?
faulty is modeling technique of ablan. he does it like in 90’s on LW… he did not notice we today use beveled cilinder instead of curves with radial sweep
C’mon guys, don’t be so jealous because he is working in a such great company like Lynda. Awesome render and bottle :) Previous hit with rendering in Cycles was also awesome, dunno why people complained so much
If you have no knowledge and want a quick start, I suppose the tutorial works. But if anyone writes a tutorial about production level quality, then it better deliver a production quality end ‘shot’. This most certainly does not. Don’t bother with this tutorial. Luxology have plenty of tutorials on their site, some of which actually ‘are’ production quality, rather than *pretending* to be one.
theres a whole industry of people making tutorials about products they know nothing about….move over DT here comes Dan Ablan
shitty render. the guy should be ashamed of himself for presenting himself as an expert all these years
For at least last 6 years Dan Ablan narrated NO useful tuts. All same crappy shit and shitty crap. Seems to me Dan is one of those jerky idiots with pretty good sleight-of-mouth to persuade a sales manager brain with tales about his own exceptional skills on every aspect of disputed case. In fact, Ablan shows up less efficient than an amateur seriously got down to business. Comparing, for example, to Richard Yot or Yazan Malkosh I cannot recall any noticeable cg-work of Ablan for past years.
oh man…i?m kind of good in cg and poor…this guy sucks, to be where he is ahahaha
oh man…i?m kind of good in cg and poor…this guy s.ucks, to be where he is ahahaha
mr little bit
My god! I just can’t stop crying. Had a good laugh looking at this. No offense, Dan, I have seen blind people producing better stuff… With MS Paint!!!
One of the crappyest shits inside the 3d world of all time.
Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result).
