From a distance Living in the sticks doesn't need to be a barrier to learning something new. If you have a phone and a computer then the educational world is still your oyster and modern technology such as Skype and interactive white boards bring the classroom to you. You can communicate with your tutor in exactly the same way as you would if you were in the same room. I'm currently undergoing sales and marketing training by...more
What Big Pharma didn't say on 60 Mins Recently 60 MINUTES aired a program showing police raiding a Peruvian facility that packaged and manufactured illicit drugs.

3d models Lesson 7 - Bringing It To Life - Part 1 Thanks to all who wrote with comments about our last tutorial on the Software Landscape.Many wrote to note that I had neglected to mention Form Z as an important application for the Macintosh, and it was indeed an oversight. Form Z is a highly respected product and has very sophisticated features. I do not have a Macintosh background and I count on you Mac people out there to help.I also see that I cannot leave the subject of software without a little clarification of what I mean by a "high-end" application. Some degree of oversimplification is unavoidable when trying to describe anything as confusing and as rapidly evolving as the present software landscape for 3D animation.The vast majority of large professional animation studios were traditionally committed to the SGI workstation, as this was the only platform powerful enough for the task. Alias Power Animator (and originally Animator) and Softimage 3D were (and still are) the premiere animation packages written for the SGI (IRIX) workstation. Both of these applications are so extraordinarily complex and powerful that there is simply no comparison between these and...more
