Our combination courses are split over two sessions, one at the start of the month and one at the end - (two days and two days.) Please contact us to arrange payment and the dates you wish to study. Our combination courses offer the very best value for money. You will learn two packages in this training that integrate to have more control of the final output. You will save 25% on our combination courses, than if you were to book each one separately.*
(* We add the cost of the two courses together and deduct 25% from the final price.)
In this two-day Beginners Adobe Dimension course, you'll learn how to create photo realistic images, use a combination of the shapes within Dimension, import artwork, place it onto models, different camera angles, and add natural lighting.
Adobe Dimension is a 3D mock-up based programme that can create realistic photo images. Unlike other 3D packages, Dimension can't create unique shapes or subdivide primitive shapes. However, you can still make real looking 2D images by adjusting primitive objects and using different camera angles and light scenes.
In the Beginners Adobe Illustrator part of the course, you will learn how to use the software to a good standard and start creating your own designs to import into Dimension. We'll explore all of the different tools, shapes and layout features before moving onto groups, layers, and different formats to export in.
Finally, we offer six months of email support on all of our courses. If you get stuck on something (as long as it's in your course outline), drop us an email, and your trainer will get back to you with a solution.

Most of our Adobe courses come with a free Adobe authorised training manual for your reference during and after the training. The courses where no manual is available come with comprehensive notes for you to take away with you. We always have a maximum of six delegates in our classrooms which will give you more one on one time with the instructor.
You are encouraged to ask us examples of how to do things that you need to learn for you role. We try and tailor a portion of the day to accommodate this, so that everybody leaves with relevant knowledge suited to their job.
Our trainers are all Adobe certified (Adobe Certified Instructors) and more importantly, have worked in relevant roles using all of the software they teach. We check all of our trainers credentials thoroughly before we employ them, to give you the student, the very best learning experience.
