Modeling a Product Package
This training series offers a great introduction to MODO's powerful workflow for Product Design, covering modeling techniques used when designing product packaging. Learn how to use a unique curve-based approach to building the initial spline cage and patching the result to produce the base shape. From there, the final photo-real model is completed using MODO's various polygon modeling tools, with some unique uses for vertex maps for good measure. The resulting scene will be fully prepped for the upcoming 'Package Surfacing and Rendering' tutorial coming soon.

Texturing a Product Package
Building on the foundation of his first tutorial, “Modeling a Product Package”, Javis Jones demonstrates his unique approach to surfacing, texturing and rendering a convincing product shot.
In this tutorial, Javis walks you through the process of applying and layering images in the Shader Tree, using Shader Tree Instances, working with Shaders, increasing realism with the Thin Film shader, and working with and layering Procedural textures.
Javis also covers basic lighting for the final render, demonstrating best practices to achieve high-quality results using area lights, environment maps and global illumination. Render Passes are also covered for those interested in creating variations of their final renders.
By the end of this tutorial, you will have a basic understanding of working with MODO’s flexible Shader Tree, understanding how MODO applies images, and how to avoid common problems encountered along the way. This is a steady-paced, easy to follow tutorial that covers a lot of ground making it perfect for helping beginners understand basic product visualization workflow in MODO.
