Get started with Alias

Start here to begin your journey with conceptual design in Alias. 


‌

Module overview

Familiarize yourself with the Alias interface and model controls, then begin creating and transforming objects and working with curves. Also, apply visualization techniques to your model, such as materials, colors, and textures, to bring your model to life.

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

  • Navigate the Alias workspace; tumble, zoom, and pan the model; select items using shortcuts; and move, scale, and rotate objects using pivot points, snapping, or dimensions for accuracy.
  • Create and shape surface and subdivision objects, as well as curves to build surface and subdivision forms.
  • Organize geometry onto layers and folders, including creating automatic symmetry for designs.
  • Create and apply colors and textures to models for a polished and realistic appearance.
