modo 401: New features for the next step in 3D Design
Over the last few years, modo has gained a strong reputation as a versatile tool for a wide range of 3D tasks. Adopted by powerhouses like Pixar, the modo toolset offers superb modeling capabilities and an advanced rendering engine that lets you take advantage the full power of modern workstations as well has whole networks of machines.
modo 401 moves forward right where the previous release left off. The stability issues that sometimes came up with rendering are gone, and the rendering engine now offers better motion blur, a shadow catcher shader, and numerous lighting enhancements that really make your productions come off the screen.
The new instance replicator means doing cityscapes, forests, armies of soldiers and any large-scale environments with repetitive elements is as painless as ever. And somewhat related, the new “Fur” tool gives designers a quick and easy way to compose patches of hair, grass or any other fibrous material with realistic and adjustable movement quality.
As modo is still pretty young, its animation functionality leaves room for improvement, but 401 now has constraints, channel linking and a versatile Inverse Kinematics engine to achieve more intricate types of movement. Although right now it’s just one powerful tool in more extensive professional animation pipelines, it’s expected that modo’s capabilities in this department will continue to expand in the future.
And some great news: the fast modeling tools that by which modo has made its name have gotten even better. With support of 64 bit operation in the Windows version, every point of creation is faster and smoother, and enhancements to the Pen tool and new features like Drag Weld and Smoothing are a natural extension of the much respected toolset.
There’s never been a better time to learn modo, really. modo 401 is the most capable version to date, and familiarizing yourself with the tools now will only help you prepare for even better features expected in versions to come. The hands-on tutorial video offers a practical way to get started with Luxology modo for beginners and experienced designers alike.

Adobe FrameMaker 9 Tutorial Video – Training CD
Adobe FrameMaker 9 Tutorial Videos
These Framemaker Tutorial videos are the ideal way for users to quickly advance their working knowledge of this powerful application. Taught by a leading Framemaker expert, practical working files also accompany this self-paced training series.
FrameMaker 9 Tutorial Video
This groundbreaking Adobe FrameMaker 9 Tutorial Video is the perfect resource for professional writers who need to learn this versatile technical publishing software. A word processor and layout program rolled into one, version 9 now includes support for common CMS setups so that it’s an effective tool for writing for the web, as well.
For as popular and powerful as FrameMaker is, there is an astounding lack of good training resources to be found in stores or online. Some companies offer traditional corporate-style training seminars at several hundred dollars a piece, but for those without have the time or money to spare, these are simply not an option. What these video tutorials provide is the same level of one-on-one guidance that a private teacher can provide with the added bonus of being extremely affordable and letting you decide your own pace.
The way the lessons are structured, at the very core, is quite simple. Starting with a tour of the program’s layout, users learn the tools and menus that make the software fundamentally work. The tutorial author clicks on the menus and screens himself as he explains each feature real time. Once the basics are covered, he progresses to first basic and then gradually more advanced tasks, each shown one step at a time so users can gain confidence and skill as they advance from one section to another.
FrameMaker Interface: Reconsidered and Revamped
After being neglected by Adobe for some time while the company invested significant resources into InDesign, FrameMaker had an uncertain future. With an aging UNIX-style interface reminiscent of the 1980s, the program was becoming a necessary evil for writers and publishers, still functional but clumsy to use.
After acquiring Macromedia, however, Adobe gained both Captivate and RoboHelp, and suddenly found an opportunity to put a dent in the technical publishing world. New life was breathed into FrameMaker as the head of the Technical Communication Suite, and with version 9, it now features a familiar docking menu and toolbar interface similar to Photoshop and Illustrator. While it had toolbars in the past, they have been simplified and rethought to include features working professionals are most likely to use. Also in the vein of other Adobe offerings, the layout can be customized to suit specific workflows.
The other main update to the FrameMaker UI is the introduction of pods. Docked at the bottom of the screen, these interactive panels track cross-references, variables, imbedded insets, markers, and conditional text. Users now have immediate access to these elements that before had to be handled one by one. A new pod for Fonts also lets the user have universal control over their document’s typefaces, allowing simple modification and change.
These intuitive FrameMaker 9 tutorial video lessons not only give you tips on mastering and customizing the user interface to your preferences but also give users a full tour of the program’s word processing and layout capabilities. Adobe has put a lot of work into making FrameMaker 9 the best release yet, but it’s only at its full power when you know how to use it.
This product is suitable for users at all levels and will allow you to learn Framemaker 9 at your own pace.

Revit Architecture 2010 Tutorial videos – Training CD
Revit Architecture 2010 Tutorial Videos
These Revit Architecture 2010 Tutorial videos are the ideal way for users to quickly advance their working knowledge of this powerful CAD Creation tool. Taught by a leading Revit expert, practical working files also accompany this self-paced training series.
Revit Architecture 2010 Tutorial Video
Here’s a Revit Architecture 2010 Tutorial Video that’s worth checking out if you’re interested in professional-level architecture and design. It’s a hands-on course that starts with the basics and takes users all the way through more complicated concepts and techniques. While it is written so that a total beginner can learn the software, more experienced designers will appreciate the flexibility in the material. It features a lot of time-saving techniques and expert advice that applies to users at every level, and the lessons are structured so that it’s simple to skip around to only the topics you want to focus on.
The latest version of Revit brings a host of important improvements over previous releases, including a revamped interface and several new options that work hand in hand with the way today’s professionals do design. With the new features however, there’s also more to learn, and that’s where these tutorial videos fit right in. The new tools and functionality get plenty of attention so that you can get up to speed, but never at any point does any one part of the program steal the course’s focus. This is a balanced introduction to the software that shows you how to create projects from beginning to end and use Revit as a standalone and collaborate production tool.
This impressive course is available in two convenient formats. Users can watch the videos online as part of a subscription service in which they get access to an additional library of training material, or buy the Revit Architecture 2010 Tutorial Video as one package on CD / DVD. In both cases, it’s a terrific value, especially when compared with corporate seminars that cost many times the price.
Revit Architecture 2010: More Interoperability
One common problem that architects run into with software is that it is geared specifically for one element of architecture, such as mostly focusing on external design. Since the development of a structure from beginning to end typically involves professionals from so many different disciplines, it’s important that data from your design projects can be seamlessly sent to engineers or structural analysts.
The Autodesk team behind Revit understands the need to share information among different fields, and they’ve made several improvements in the way this is handled in Revit Architecture 2010. Civil engineers involved with projects can work with data directly in AutoCAD Civil 3D, with the inclusion of site coordinates that previously weren’t available in Revit. In the same way, components designed in Autodesk Inventor can be easily imported for use in Revit designs, and Revit content can be easily shared online through Autodesk’s Seek System. To assist with structural analysis, Autodesk Revit Architecture can now let you examine your models before exporting the work to gbXML files. Because you can double check your surface types and openings before export, you can ensure more accurate energy analysis down the line.
Before you get to exporting and collaboration, it’s important that the basis of your design is right. This Revit Architecture 2010 Tutorial Video is the perfect way to make sure that you can use this tool to its maximum potential and get the results your clients and colleagues deserve.

Advanced AutoCAD 2010 Tutorial Video – Training CD
Advanced AutoCAD 2010 Tutorial Videos
These Advanced AutoCAD 2010 Tutorial videos are the ideal way for users to quickly advance their working knowledge of this powerful CAD Creation tool. Taught by a leading expert Shaun Bryant, practical working files also accompany this training series.
AutoCAD 2010 Advanced Concepts Tutorial Video
Here’s an Advanced AutoCAD 2010 Tutorial Video that will catch your attention. The third title in an already impressive AutoCAD Training Series, it covers the highest level of software functionality, with an emphasis on customization and collaboration.
Today’s developers and designers inevitably work as part of a team. Whether you want to run DWG files by clients or share your work with colleagues, it’s important to have easy options for getting your projects onto others’ computers, and in a format that preserves your original vision. In this tutorial, certified CAD expert Shaun Bryant (AAI) breaks down some of the new features in AutoCAD that not only let you share outputted projects but also trade configuration and scripting files so that every member of your team can be on the same page.
This intensive course devotes significant time to self documentation features within the program, addressing tables, advanced annotation and scaling functionality so that you can produce information-rich documents that more effectively communicate your vision.
The training format is effective but simple. Using a real time video feed of the application in use, techniques are demonstrated directly within the AutoCAD interface, with narration providing reinforcement. To make things even easier, DWG files are included that let you follow along with examples onscreen. The tutorial video can be accessed online through a subscriber service or bought on CD / DVD, and it’s viewable on both Mac and Windows machines so you don’t have to be at your workstation to watch the lessons.
Better Drafting and Design Functionality
AutoCAD 2010 is a major improvement over its predecessors because it offers new features where they count the most. Core design tools have been improved to reflect the way most professionals do their work, without radically changing the essential controls.
Parametric Drawing – This is a simple but major enhancement to the AutoCAD platform. Users can now use geometric constraints to ‘lock’ lines to stay perpendicular or parallel to one another so that small changes do not ruin the feasibility of their designs. In addition, objects can be constrained to be collinear, coincident, vertical, horizontal and concentric as well. Dimensional constraints allow you to control object sizes in relation to one another so that a change in one aspect of your project will automatically adjust all other elements tied to it. In the course of a complex project, the constraints can save literally hours of time.
3D Modeling – While 3D got a big boost with AutoCAD 2007, there was still a lot to be improved. Now modeling smooth surfaces and organic-styled features is possible because of the mesh editing tools included in 2010. Drawing from standard 3D software like Maya, AutoCAD has an array of new options for doing impressive 3D work.
The Advanced AutoCAD 2010 Tutorial Video covers 3D topics in addition to other higher end tasks and techniques. A full list of topics can be found on the product page, with free demos that let you get started.

By tackling the program in multiple tutorial courses, these videos can devote the detail needed for serious users to get ahead. Now online and on CD / DVD, it’s a total training solution for busy professionals at an impressive price.
AutoCAD: Flexibility and Compatibility
Because AutoCAD is used in so many different industries and at so many different stages, its tools have grown to support a wide variety of uses. The most essential use for the software is drafting and design, creating an easily sharable digital design from the imagination and calculations of the person putting it together. Sometimes the creative process lets the designer better understand the physical qualities of a concept by creating a virtual prototype that can be analyzed from a variety of angles and approaches. 3D enhancements in particular have contributed to this use. Managers and operational professionals at every level have begun to find that as much as AutoCAD is a tool for production, it’s also essential to communication. Annotation and fine detail labeling features in AutoCAD 2010 are just some of the literal ways that interaction is possible, but simply having one model that everyone can see, modify and then compare has opened new pathways to productivity.
This free flow of information is possible because of Autodesk’s continued focus on compatibility. Although it does update it every few years, the company’s DWG file format has become a standard across many different industries. AutoCAD 2010 can open and read drawing files from any prior edition of AutoCAD software. And using a Save As function specific to 2010, you can save changes to those files to their original format, whether it is 14, 2000, 2004, 2007 or the current revision of DWG. With the assistance of TrueView software, those using previous versions of AutoCAD can view your 2010 files exactly as they’re meant to be seen, allowing better communication and a seamless workflow.
Whether you’re wanting better tips on collaboration and sharing your work or just solid tips for working in 3D, this Intermediate 2010 AutoCAD Tutorial Video is worth your time. A full list of topics is on the product site.

Corel Painter 11 Tutorial Video – Training CD
FREE Painter 11 Tutorial Video
These Corel Painter 11 Tutorial videos are the ideal way for users of all levels to quickly gain a solid working knowledge of this powerful Music creation and editing tool. Taught by a leading graphics expert Dwayne Ferguson, practical working files also accompany this training series.
Corel Painter 11 Tutorial Video
This new Corel Painter 11 Tutorial Video – Training DVD is definitely worth a look. Designed and narrated by professional illustrator and longtime teacher Dwayne Ferguson, the course is a full featured introduction to the unique digital artwork software.
The real selling point of the training is the freedom you get with its format. Although it is structured as a normal course with a beginning, middle and end, lessons are broken down into short videos that address specific topics one by one. This allows you to either watch the tutorials in sequential order or select topics that interest you, providing beginners with a step by step structure that makes intuitive sense but giving more advanced users the flexibility to chart their own path. In addition, every tutorial lesson features playback controls that let you pause, rewind and fast-forward on the micro-level. What this all adds up to is that you learn Painter at your own pace. Busy people love this.
Because the videos come on a CD / DVD package that you keep (or with an unlimited number of views online if you’re a member of the subscriber service), the tutorial can also become a quick reference that you can check any time you have a question while you work. It covers Corel Painter from top to bottom–a full list of topics is on the product site.
Painter 11 Pros: New Brushes and Media Options
The Corel Painter 11 Tutorial Video wouldn’t be nearly so interesting if it weren’t for the program itself. The software designers at Corel have shown that they listen to their professional user base, with a whole host of new features that people have been waiting for. At the heart of the program are its brushes; they allow instant creativity without the tedious set up that other software requires. For the newest version, Painter has added 40 new Natural-Media brushes to the creative arsenal.
The variety means the RealBristle Painting System introduced in Painter X allowing natural brush action and sensitivity has just gotten better. The new brushes available span multiple categories: add pastels, acrylic, colored pencils and even Sharpie-style markers to the list, just for starters. So in addition to the ‘wet’ paint brushes introduced to much celebration in the last version, there are now ‘dry’ and ‘hard’ tools to work with as well.
Where these custom brushes really excel is in combination with a tablet and stylus, especially the newer Wacom units. If you’re using a supported tablet, the tilt of your stylus will affect the width of your lines or strokes onscreen. You can actually adjust your stroke midway through, changing the angle at which you’re holding the the stylus and affecting the line in real time. This is the necessary type of innovation that keeps pushing Painter forward (and ahead of the pack).
In addition to new and exciting features, the Corel Painter 11 Tutorial Video covers everything else a beginner needs to know to get started. With its interactive examples and straightforward advice, you’ll see quick results even where you may have had trouble in the past.

Pro Tools 8 Tutorial Video – Training CD
FREE Pro Tools 8 Tutorial Video
These beginners Pro Tools 8 Tutorial videos are the ideal way for users of all levels to quickly gain a solid working knowledge of this powerful Music creation and editing tool. Taught by a leading Pro Tools expert, practical working files also accompany this training series.
Digidesign Pro Tools 8 Tutorial Video
This multi-part Digidesign Pro Tools 8 Tutorial Video takes you to the heart of professional audio production, giving you a detailed tour of one of the most powerful software solutions on the market and giving you practical tips and advice for everyday use.
Geared toward beginners and intermediate users, the series provides users with a solid working knowledge of the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) so they have what it takes to make professional level work in a manageable amount of time. The course features an intuitive visual based format and professional guidance from an expert audio engineer.
Pro Tools 8: Raising the Bar, Again
Pro Tools has always been the heavy-hitter in professional audio production, but the level of competition has dramatically increased in the last five years. The engineers at Digidesign have taken notice. Pro Tools 8 has the same great stuff that’s made the program a prerequisite in certain studios, with new functionality and effects meant to send a signal to users who have migrated to Cubase or Logic for much of their audio work.
More & Better Plug-Ins
Part of the new competition in audio software has been in modular plug-ins that give engineers an instant virtual toolkit of production effects. Pro Tools 8 comes with twenty new effects plug-ins, in addition to its previous stock and features five full virtual instruments that make music creation and tweaking that much easier. Digidesign has also included an extremely useful feature that lets you open a session without the plug-ins activated to load projects quickly for basic inspection and playback.
Enhanced MIDI Functionality
Here’s a point where Pro Tools has lagged behind a little in the past, but not any longer. New MIDI Editor windows show MIDI and automation data for instrument, auxiliary input and MIDI tracks and also lets you view and edit velocity, MIDI controllers, and automation data simultaneously. The graphical sequencing capabilities finally have the oomph of what’s offered in Digital Performer and Logic, and will give composers a serious edge. Borrowing from Sibelius, you can now view MIDI tracks in score notation when you want total control.
Happier Mixing
Digidesign engineers have also increased your ability to do more at once. Instead of pausing the playback of a project every time you wanted to adjust key elements of the mix, you can now make many changes in real time, including removing and adding tracks and modifying I/O routing. To put your hardware to even better use, you can now add up to ten inserts per track.
These are just some of the features and capabilities included in Pro Tools 8. And while it’s certainly the most easy to use release to date, Pro Tools is a complex and serious piece of kit. To take full advantage of new features and old, the Digidesign Pro Tools 8 Tutorial Video is a smart place to start. You get plenty of hands on examples and practical advice that makes learning the software feel natural and fun.

FREE AutoCAD 2010 Tutorial Video
These beginners AutoCAD 2010 Tutorial videos are the ideal way for users of all levels to quickly gain a solid working knowledge of this powerful design application. Taught by a leading AutoCAD expert, practical working files also accompany this training series.
AutoCAD 2010: Mastering 2D Concepts Tutorial Video
Written and narrated by Autodesk certified instructor Shaun Bryant, this Mastering 2D Concepts AutoCAD 2010 Tutorial Video grounds users in the core drawing and editing skills needed to use this immensely powerful software. Utilized in so many different fields for so many different purposes, the basic skills for using the program are a constant. By combining expert knowledge with an intuitive, visuals-based approach, this training will help you learn how to effectively express visual concepts without the frustration that can come when trying to teach yourself.
The key to these tutorials is flexibility and control. Users can watch passively or use hands-on work files and can progress as quickly or slowly as they like. Offered online or on CD / DVD, the tutorial video lessons can be watched right from home or anywhere you have a computer.
Intelligent User Interface Enhancements
As soon as you start AutoCAD 2010 for the first time, you’re presented with a quick dialog that asks you what kind of work you do: Architecture, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing, Structural Engineering and Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) are all available. From your choice, AutoCAD customizes menus, tools and measurement units to correspond with common workflows for your field. This is simple, but smart. You’ll find that it can really speed up the way you work, but if you prefer a more general environment, both an updated generic and classic AutoCAD user workspace are available. You can further optimize your environment by choosing to emphasize 3D Modeling, Photorealistic Rendering, Review and Markup or Sheet Sets and incorporate custom drawing template (DWT) files in the initial setup stages.
From within the AutoCAD 2010 workspace, you’ll see the ribbon interface and quick access toolbar introduced in 2009, except now it’s easier to customize them for your favorite commands. Ribbons now adjust on the fly to the proper ‘context’ of the items you are working with, so that image tools come up when you’ve highlighted and image, and so on. Those who went through the trouble of making their own dashboard panels in version 2008 and 2007 also now have the ability to import them into 2010’s workspace. Autodesk seems to realize that it made a big jump to the ribbon format in 2009, and it’s done a lot to make the ribbon more intuitive while at the same time giving users plenty of ways to opt for more traditional tool setups.
The workspace is the window through which so many designers see their work. With AutoCAD having such an influence over so many technical fields, it’s crucial that users feel comfortable with their software so that they can place the focus on delivering quality designs.
While much of the training focuses on concepts and technique, this AutoCAD 2010: Mastering 2D Concepts Tutorial Video addresses the new features both in the beginning and throughout the course so that you get a full appreciation of the way the many parts of AutoCAD work together to help you get work done.

Microsoft Exchange 2007 Tutorial Video
Microsoft Exchange 2007 Tutorial Video
Learn how to install and administrate Microsoft Exchange 2007 from one of the world’s leading Microsoft trainers. Author Mark Long shows you everything you need to know using easy to follow video based tutorials.
Microsoft Exchange 2007 Tutorial Video
This comprehensive Microsoft Exchange 2007 Tutorial Video will introduce users to the full power of this industry-standard email server software, going all the way through set up and integration to advanced tips and techniques that administrators will appreciate.
Email runs the business world. Even as people jump on the Web 2.0 bandwagon and look to huge social media sites and microblogging outlets as the next big thing, email is what brought many businesses online in the first place, and it’s a simple, reliable technology that has become only more useful with age. Microsoft’s Exchange 2007 is the heavy contender in the world of managed email hosting, and it’s crucial that administrators know how to use it.
These engaging tutorials break down the software’s features and settings into a language that is easy to understand without dumbing things down for serious users. Users can watch the tutorial videos in order or skip to topics that they need to review, making the training package a great reference tool for future use. Whether you need to learn how to use MS Exchange to its fullest advantage or just want a practical, comprehensive guide, it’s here, view the first three training chapters of this Microsoft Exchange 2007 Tutorial Video for FREE
Powerful Anti-Spam Features
With each release of Exchange, Microsoft brings new capabilities to the table to attract new customers and persuade established users to upgrade. Some in the past have been only incremental updates, but the changes to Exchange 2007 are noteworthy. Anti-spam and Antivirus features in particular have gotten a major boost.
Connection Filtering – This is a sensible first line of defense. Exchange includes an integrated block and allow system that filters based on lists of IPs of known spam-senders. These lists can be updated from external sites or augmented manually by admins.
Content Filtering – Microsoft has included a special implementation of its SmartScreen filtering system. It has the ability to learn and identify troublesome phrases and styles associated with spam content. Called the Intelligent Message Filter, this system also indentifies potential phishing attacks by looking for bad links and compromised domains referenced in messages. Filter updates keep the system current to new waves of attack.
Anti-spam Stamp – Once a message is marked as spam by the system, it is ‘stamped’ with information that tell why it was filtered out so administrators can assess the effectiveness of their system and make adjustments if necessary.
