Two day hands-on workshop on 3D productivity that will teach you how to make amazing textured surfaces using your EnRoute 4 software. Topics that will be covered include: Rapid Texture, Parametric Texture and Bitmap Texture tools, importing and working with Mesh objects and how to create a 3D sign.
