Strata has broken the education price barrier with a Photoshop/Strata learning combo that takes designers into the third dimension on a budget. The "Surreal 3D/Real 3D" bundle includes Colin Smith's PhotoshopCafe Live! training CD and Strata 3Dplus - both for less than the suggested retail price of the training CD alone! At just $49.95 designers can't miss with this foray into the deep. Read the Strata press release. Click here to order. On 25, 26 and 27 February, 2004, WestRim Digital Arts will hold the highly popular Strata 3D ProSkills Course in exciting Las Vegas!

As in all WestRim hands-on classes, instruction will be in a small-group setting with individual attention from a gifted digital artist and expert Strata user. Computers are provided for each student, and the course will be taught using the latest version of Strata 3Dpro.

There's no better way to learn than by doing - but "doing" in just 2 hours? A group of users got together on the StrataCafe forums and threw down the gauntlet: Create a "Stuffed Animal" and complete the project - start to finish - in just two hours. Here are the results: Chriz has been involved in educational publishing in Hong Kong for many years. Several years ago he discovered that using characters was a key to attracting and keeping the attention of a young audience - and that Strata 3D was the ideal tool to achieve this. Since then Chriz has had tremendous success publishing education materials that feature his whimsical 3D friends and helping to teach the young people of his region. View Chriz's Gallery.
