Eat 3D's blog

As some of you have noticed we don't run very many sales but when we do we want to make sure its effective and give those on a tight budget a chance to get some amazing training at a discount. This is a great opportunity for those with extra time in the summer months to learn how to create professional quality 3D Art. 

This Discount will only last from today until July 4th at midnight so try and take advantage of this before time runs out. Also this discount will exclude bundles since they are already heavily discounted.

Our very own Riki Babington has been nominated for this years Autodesk Masters 2009

Riki was nominated for the Autodesk Masters Award for 3ds Max and he would love it if some of you would log into the area and give him a 5 star vote!

 In this demonstration the instructor starts off by going over the entire cascade interface and then through most of the common modules. Once the foundation is laid its on to creating several effects from scratch. Everything from creating an explosion, hit effects, water drips, laser beams, and trailes are covered. 

If you have never used cascade you should be able to follow along and understand. Even if you are experienced using cascade, you should pick up useful information throughout the DVD.
