VIZ 2008 Fundamentals
AutoCAD Training Overview

Autodesk VIZ 2008 offers state-of-the-art technology for creating photo-realistic "still" renderings as well as desktop animations. While it includes its own tools for 2D and 3D modeling, VIZ can work with geometry imported from many other applications as well.

Autodesk VIZ is a robust and powerful program that can be daunting to learn. This course provides a thorough introduction to VIZ that will help new users make the most of this sophisticated application, as well as broaden the horizons of existing, self-taught users.
