 Date: Thu Dec 09 2004
Montreal, QC - December 9, 2004 - Softimage the National Animation and Design Centre (www.nadcentre.com) has launched the NAD Centre Internet (NADIA) Academy, the first real-time, interactive learning program for Softimage|XSI digital content creation software, allowing access to professional instruction for the software directly from a desktop PC connected to the Internet. Participants can choose from a series of 18 modular courses supplemented by an extensive library of material and scenes.
"In today's market, where new business opportunities are constantly evolving, 3D artists are life-long learners who are always looking to expand their technical and artistic skill set," said Suzanne Gu�vremont, GMof NAD Centre. "With the recent surge in demand for professional 3D training, and for Softimage|XSI software training in particular, we've designed a flexible, customized and cost-effective program to help studios and freelancers update their practical knowledge from virtually any location." NADIA's live interaction capabilities allow instructors to take control of a participant's workstation and display manipulations in real time and in full view directly from the Softimage|XSI user interface. The use of NADIA's web folders allows instructors and participants to load large scene files and deliver live rendering, all in realtime.

Courses are then divided into six topics: Modeling; Texturing and Rendering; Animating in XSI; Simulation; Lighting and Rendering Optimization Techniques. Both public and private sessions are available, to accommodate both individuals and team needs.

Class enrollment is two to four students and courses are taught in four-hour blocks to provie a truly meaningful learning experience.
