Ipod shuffle

With this project you'll learn to model from splines, converting to editable poly and then using additional modifiers such as shapemerge to add detail to basic shapes.
We start by setting up blueprints and then model each individual part of the mp3 player piece by piece.
Once that is done we go on to texturing this in a realistic way, the we apply shaders to increase the realism further.
Finally we set up a convincing 'studio' light setup using mental ray and render the final images, check the result down here.

Scale this to.... ah $#!7 lol Hey, around 21 min into the first part, your tutorial plays too fast. You sound like you've inhaled helium, and it's very hard to understand. I think I can slow this down in vegas video, but you might want to make an adjusted version of the first part. Very good, informative. I'll try to build one for my next shape.

well yeah i know that part is faster, it wasn't supposed to have sound because it was all pretty obvious, only about selecting some stupid edges which took a long time so it was quite a waste of bandwidth i thought.
