Luxology and modo sessions at IDSA Conference

Luxology’s Andy Brown will be hosting a workshop session focused on using modo for shoe design modeling. The Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) Northeastern District Conference will be held this year, March 27-29, 2009, at the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge, Massachusetts. (575 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA 02139). 

Andy’s Bootcamp series workshops will focus on modeling and visualizing a soccer shoe design right down to the stitching using the award-winning modo 3d application that runs most beautifully on the Mac. It runs on the PC too but who really wants to do that? 

Andy’s two sessions will take place on Friday, March 27, 2:15pm – 4:30pm. To learn more and register visit these links here and here. The conference main page is here: http://ned.idsaboston.org/photos/
