During the last several months, I have begun modeling with Alias. I spent most of my time working the tutorial. I found them extremely helpful, and they got me comfortable enough to mold this new tool into something that aids in my filmmaking. I spent the rest of the time building the first model for an upcoming film I am working on. The model is simply a shell now, but as I learn more about IK and skeletons, I will make a fully moveable model for animating. [ r e s e a r c h ]
