Modo 302, the 3d application from Luxology, is a fresh breath into an industry that is all around us.
The philosophy behind the software is very refreshing and this book is the perfect companion.
Dan Ablan's book is as much about getting to know Modo 302, as it is getting into the spirit of Modo. The examples are fun and motivating. The subject is never dry and boring. You really want to fire up Modo when you start to browse this book.
The dvd that is included is easy to follow and makes the process in learning the software easier. !
Excellent !

This book really covers the fundamentals of Modo 301/302. With this book and about 2 weeks I was able to take care of most things.. helps that Modo as an application is very well thought out - but having this book really helped me learn Modo.
Training at its best..., June 26, 2008

Dan Ablan continues his excellent training series on Luxology's modo with a new book on version 301 and updates included for 302. Bottomline is you won't find better training than this. Although this book is intended for beginning users, artists of any level will benefit from Dan's training. The reason being that while applications of this sort can be approached in similar ways by many teachers, Dan provides you with a powerful workflow that only can come from his years of experience with 3D applications; which include professional apps like Lightwave. Being a happy owner of other training by Dan Ablan and this book, I felt it deserves the 5 stars I gave it. Oh, and don't forget the hours of additional video training on the DVD that comes with the book.
