I was wondering, is there anyone teaching a live workshop in 3d Coat? Something that's geared towards beginners? No offense to all the video training, but I find that I'm more old fashioned in my learning techniques where I like to have a live instructor for basic learning. I'm not saying that the video training isn't great --cause it is, but I find that it would have greater benefit if I had a solid grasp of the fundamentals before watching them.
I am talking about the continental United States, when I mention training. I don't mind traveling --in fact I like the idea of making it a hobby vacation to spend 3-5 days somewhere learning this software before going back to look at the tutorials. I really think it would be a great benefit to have something that focused on the modeling, then have another workshop on painting, etc. That way if you want to learn this or that you can mix and match and learn as you like. However, I haven't seen anything like that yet, so I thought I would ask the community at large and see if anyone else knew of something like that.
