The story of Mahmoud’s progress
Hey guys, full story coming soon...
When I took a look at our new student's portfolio, I noticed he is working as a Senior Visual Artist at EDAG as a supplier of BMW. He had learned Catia, Rhino, 3D Max, Maya and even more as a 3D CAD Modeler and had a few years expericence in this role. Following his dream to become a professional automotive designer, he searched for Autodesk Alias courses. Let's review his story saying by himself now:
"In the past 2 years, I was looking for courses for Autodesk Alias in Germany but I didn't find any because all schools in Germany teach Rhino. Anyone who knows Alias has studied in universities and went for an intern training program later. So no schools were available for learning Alias, but there are many Catia and Rhinoceros classes.
I found your academy and another one, called Learning Alias. But to be honest when I reached them, they offered me videos that was already available in YouTube! So it was very disappointing to me. Then I find your academy, MS3D Academy,and you were very very kind to give me the opportunity to learn new things. That's it.
I have to mention that I found some LinkedIn Learning courses that was for Alias 2021 but to be honest Mohammad, your way of teaching specially in Subdivision modeling is very good. Because it was not easy for me to start with that new tools when there are not even any undo! You taught me the new way of working with history of tools and I can work with that now. That's my favor and I really appreciate it and want to continue my learning path with you.
I want to reach a stage to be very professional in Alias modeling and it is one of my top goals. I got my new job now and I study further as I'm in 4th semester. I prepare to launch my YouTube channel to show off my new ideas soon."
He started with Alias 2025 course and completed the basics, although he might have heard of some basic things of Alias following other tutorials. But our basic lessons was looking new and much more understandable to him. After purchasing, he said he will start at 7 am tomorrow morning! After a day, his very first work was under construction:
Mahmoud told me he want to completely learn Alias before his 40s so he has only 1 year and 3 months time! We were in contact at WhatsApp and solved a few probelms together. This is how the first car looks:
Meanwhile, Mahmoud was working on his projects at university so he had to split his time and work like a turbo engine!
In less than a month, he reached something satisfying:
In Alias 2025 course, first we learn basic 3d modeling with subdivision tools and later we deep dive into technical 3d modeling using Alias analysis tools, surface evaluation methods and quality control options. SUBD is mostly for design and create cars that are being used at 3d rendering software and department. by the way, NURBS is for technical surfaces meeting A Class quality standards ready for production at automotive industry.
Solving surface continuity problems is our job, that's one of the most import stages of 3d modeling with 3d software in car design industry.
Mahmoud is continuing his journey, what about you? Have you started? Start today, tomorrow is one year later... read it again :)
