Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

If the worst hasn't happened yet, that's because you haven't tried everything yet!

As long as you buy a pass, I believe anyone can go.

I'm from Croatia so there's no way for me to be there and that pass must be pretty expensive, right?

Just a bit of an update, in addition to attending some of the events and what-have-you, I'll also spend some time at the Wiley/Sybex publishing booth hawking my book and doing signing and maybe a demo or something. user added image

Ill be there. I live in Boston and since my game authoring class made games for our schools booth, they paid for us(the people who helped with the game) to go. Ill probablly be hanging with the Arts Institute section
