where to find Showcase training, tutorials, etc.

I am trying to learn showcase.  I went through the movies which got me started.  Where can I find good Showcase tutorials, books, videos, etc.  

 

What I want to do is pull in my own environments and backgrounds and get the scale and lighting to look right.  I'm a design engineer for a furniture company so it's putting the furniture in both indoor and outdoor locations.  I'd love to be able to take a picture of, say, a park, and then place furniture into the scene and make it look reasonably realistic.

 

I kind of need to go from basic to advanced because I'm pretty unfamalar with the software.

 

I'm using showcase 2015.

 

thank you!

HI,

You can start by visiting my YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD6D46E8F19539A17

 

For specific video on custom environment background: http://youtu.be/ar0VivUjXqI

 

What you need to know is that you will need an HDRI environment if you plan to light the scene with your custom image. 

You can find information about how to create a HDRI image online as well. 

Good luck

Marion
