I can only take a maximum of 5 students at any one time. I tech all levels right up to Post Graduates and Alias modelers in their first year in Industry. I have never had a private student fail to get an Alias Automotive job (Companies include GM, Lotus, Opel, Audi, Volvo, Fiat, Seat, Maseratti etc. )

Hi,
I specialize in taking Modelers that know some Alias from graduate and post graduate level to Industrial competence Entry Level
(If you don’t have formal training, but are talented and focussed, you can still apply)
Almost all of my students go into Automotive Alias jobs.
I once worked as an Automotive Clay Modeler and I received a lot of help from very kind people. I am referring to certain individual colleagues, who were older an a lot wiser than me and had the generosity of spirit to use their very considerable knowledge, to help the next generation of modelers, to learn those advanced modeling techniques that many don’t chose to share.
I went on to become a Freelance Modeller and build the first clay model for Satoshi Wada’s 2005 Audi A6 at Audi AG. and the very successful Citroen Berlingo replacement with Sam Brown under Gilles Vidal at Citroen, Paris. I also built the Lamborghini Murcielago wind tunnel model in 2000 at Udelhofen Design.
Whilst at Audi I became hooked on Autodesk Alias Studio and was given a lot of help to progress with it by one of Audi’s Senior Designers. I achieved success because I was totally committed and because I had people who were prepared to help me. I had good teachers. I believe in giving back and I do so to people who can demonstrate their total commitment to becoming competent Autodesk Alias Studio Modelers.
Students continue to contact me for help in finding Modeling Solutions during their first year in an Industrial Design Studio situation. I offer a unique affordable path for REALLY committed Autodesk Alias students to progress rapidly to becoming Industrially competent CAD modellers.
FAQ:
Q. Will your course really get me to Alias Modeler Entry Level?
A. Yes! Definitely, if you work hard and have some talent for CAD modeling. I have students who are now working in top companies, such as; GM, Lotus, Fiat etc.
Q.What will I build on the course?
A. Whether you pay the basic fee to access my 200+ unique video library (fee includes regular reviews and feedback) or you become a “One on One” student, you will be able to build everything you need to have a great portfolio i.e.
Audi A5 Sportback (Curves & Patch Method), my own Virrage Concept car (Overbuild Method)+ many other smaller high quality models. Some students build a 3rd. exterior of their own choice, such as a Lamborghini.
Q. How does the course work?
A. You recieive the Starter Wire and build the model by following my very detailed videos. You send me your wire for review on a regular basis. I supply meshes and sample surfaces where necessary and give notes, comments, tip and advice.
Q. Do you hold back on any top Industrial modeling Work Flows?
A. No! Students who stay on the course and show genuine passion and commitment, get to learn everything I know about Alias Modeling.

Q. How long to become competent?
A. Depends where you start from. The important thing is to prepare yourself thoroughly, say 12-18 months of hard work to get to Entry level, although I have had students who’ve brought a lot of experience to the table, do it in 3-6 months
( Just like in any profession, you carry on learning once you start an Alias job)

Hi, I’m an industrial designer and I work mainly with Autodesk products (Inventor, 3ds Max, AutoCAD, Maya and Showcase) and I like to learn to design surfaces and concept cars with (automotive 2011 x64 Alias), I have the software installed and I have the tutorial “Learning Design with Alias Studio Tools “but this is totally new for me and I always could use some advice, especially i want to know if there are more online tutorials to get started with a good base because they are very hard to find or nonexistent, thanks in advance .
Hi,

cheers

Hi Graham,
It’s a great honor for me to see that you shared
my work with other students
My Alias modeling skills have improved beyond recognition, which resulted in
My Audi A5 concept model turning out so well
I am happy that I have learned so much and continue to learn a
lot, from your One on One class it’s well worth the layout of 230$ per month.
Also I would like to let other students know that I have been getting offers through my gallery on http://www.learningalias.co.uk from various companies.
but I am not ready to take on a position yet, as I want to sharpen my skill more
Before getting in to the right job.
I also would like to thank you for showing me all the professional work flows needed to make the Audi A5 Sportback concept model.
I am now really looking forward to learning to make your Virrage concept car with the Overbuild modeling method and if there is time left
I really want also to learn to surface a complete exterior from a Mesh.
Thanks
Karrick
Dear Teacher Mr. Graham
Dear all
I am an architect, but my deep passion is Automobiles . All my experience has been 2d AutoCAD and a little 3DS MAX, so when I signed-up with Alias Trainer Graham Bullock B.Ed.Des.Tech, i didn’t know anything about Alias !
And now i know about alias (Still an improver), I am a One to One Student with Graham, and he is a very good patient teacher with lovely soul that once you talk to him, you just wanna sprint back to your computer and start playing with Alias,
He does give me alot of tips on modelling that might take me years to figure it out..
So for sure if you guys want to really progress in Alias, and get an Alias job, you need a Trainer to from Zero to Hero
I pay a modest monthly fee, with an agreement to pay the balance once I have an Automotive Alias entry level job. He believes in his students so much that he trusts us like this
Good Luck all,,
