Course Information
Duration: 40 Hours
Fee: $1600
Description
This course is designed to help students learn alias modeling using Alias
Design software. Autodesk Alias is a powerful surfacing and designing
software used widely in industries with a requirement to design and style.
It offers a comprehensive toolset that enables designers to transfer their
ideas into reality. In this course, the students will get in-depth knowledge
of all important tools as well as their real world applications. In addition,
students will be assigned a team project of their choice for better
understanding of design intent and will also be required to make a portfolio
of the work done.
