Steve Warner brings his hallmark style to this expansive series, providing the details on modeling you will not find in any other training video on the market. Covering all the tools associated with Subpatch Modeling you need to know, these videos will not only teach you how to model, but how to think in 3D in order to accomplish any modeling task you put your mind to.

Created with new users in mind, this four-part series assumes no prior knowledge of modeling software. It carefully walks you through the core tools and techniques needed to master modeling in LightWave 3D.
