Shameless call to action:
Buy it now!
My latest video tutorial series is now for sale at luxology.com, and it covers the basic tools and techniques I use to illustrate soft goods; in this case, a backpack.
Most industrial designers use CAD packages to build geometry for “hard goods”, i.e. products that are made of solid materials like plastic, wood, or metal. But designing “soft goods”–products made of fabric, leather, etc–has been primarily a 2D affair until very recently. Modo is a fantastic tool for modeling soft goods, and it’s a part of my daily work flow as a product designer.
After finishing my work with 3DWorld Magazine, Bob over at Luxology asked if I could put together a series breaking down the process of building a backpack concept design in modo.
