Press Release: KURV studios to host 4 day training seminar in Las Vegas (read full press release)

KURV studios
will be hosting an unprecedented four day training event this year in sunny Las Vegas. This year we are honored to have Timothy Albee, Nicholas Boughen, Tim Dunn, Dave Jerrard, Jennifer Hachigian, and Larry Shultz as the trainers.  To effectively train someone not only do you have to know the software your training on but be able to convey those topics to a group in a manner they clearly understand.  This group of artists has been either writing best selling LightWave books and videos, or actively helping the LightWave community for years now.  Being able to sit and listen to these six dynamic artists in a two day training session will be invaluable.

SubdivisionModeling.com is Born - January 12, 2006 (read full press release)

KURV studios, CGFocus, and SouthernGFX is proud to announce the birth of Subdivisionmodeling.com. The vision of the new site devoted to, you guessed it, subdivision modeling.

The site is aimed at helping new modelers get into Sub-Division modeling and is a non-software specific site. I am looking for artists to allow me to use examples of their work but I want to focus on the wireframes and sub-divided, un-textured versions of models. Please remember, the site is all about helping other artists to improve their modeling skills so images that show complicated geometry and topology will really help.
