The suite includes Autodesk software products that expose students to a broad set of profes ional tools, and it supports development of specialized skills that are easily transferable across a wide variety of.

In this high-level tutorial we will learn how to handle data between ICE clouds and get around many common issues in ICE and Lagoa. The objectives for this fast-pace, intensive course include successfully transferring data between two ICE trees, create custom particle effects and understand how data flows in Softimage. By the end of this training, you will have the ability to solve these types of ICE problems in your own projects. Before following along with this tutorial, you should have experience using Softimage and ICE as we cover what would normally take hours to accomplish in a shorter span of time. If you are an artist new to Softimage, ICE or Lagoa, we have several courses to get you started.

In this collection of lessons we will discuss the various nodes found in the Illumination section of the Render Tree. We will be discussing topics such as creating realistic car paint, exploring subsurface scattering materials to simulate translucent surfaces, overriding shadow color and transparency on individual objects, shading hair strands created in Softimage, rendering soft-shadowing effects using ambient occlusion, as well as many other tips, tricks, and techniques for using the Softimage Illumination nodes.
