C Tech’s Response to Covid-19: Free Premium Training

During this difficult time, we know that many of our customers and prospective users are required to work from home. We won’t remind you to isolate or wash your hands frequently, since we know that our customers are far more educated than the average citizen, and hopefully less narcissistic than the partiers who descended on the beaches 2 miles from my home.

We want to help our community in any way we can, so until May 1, 2020 we are offering:

  • The following Premium Video Classes will be FREE to everyone:
    • The 4-part Introduction to Earth Volumetric Studio Series videos which are normally $800 per person
    • Advanced Lithologic Modeling which is normally $400 per person. 
    • Advanced Class: How to Edit Stratigraphic Geology which is normally $450 per person. 
    • Advanced Class: Working with Time Domain Data which is normally $350 per person. 
  • Instructions to access the above classes are at the end of this announcement.
  • All remaining Premium Classes will be discounted 50%

Please note: 

  • All of our training classes can be used when running the DEMO version of Earth Volumetric Studio (EVS). 
  • You do not need a license to do this training unless you want to use your own data.
  • During this offer, anyone can email support@ctech.com or call us at +1-941-315-5740 for technical support related to the above training classes.

For the foreseeable future C Tech fully expects to be able to provide Technical Support and order processing in a relatively normal manner, though because all C Tech personnel are working from home, there may be some delays as compared with our normal response times.

Sincerely,
Reed D Copsey, President

 

Instructions to Access Video Training

 

Intro Series Videos

Below are the links to the four Introductory Class videos. Each one is ~3.2 hours long.

All use the same password: ctech-vs-covid

As you’re going through these classes, which were created with an older release of the software, there is one major change to the software that you will encounter.  What I’ll describe below will make more sense once you get to it, so if the terms I use now don’t make sense to you now, don’t worry about that, but keep this as a reference:

  • For all Geologic LAYERS and MATERIAL IDs, the data used to represent them was previously NODAL DATA and that is the case in the Intro Series Videos.  
  • We have now switched to use CELL DATA to represent Geologic LAYERS and MATERIAL IDs as this provides several advantages including:
    • Cell data and Nodal data use separate datamaps 
    • Cell data was previously used when using the geology_to_structured module.  This makes things more consistent

You will need to install the latest 64-bit version of Earth Volumetric Studio and Studio Projects. The applications built in the videos will use the data files from the Studio Projects installation. You can download those applications and other materials at www.reed.ctech.com/online-classes/intro-series-class-files.zip.
Extract this archive so that it creates a Studio Training Applications folder under Earth Volumetrics Studio Projects 2019.10 (or the latest version). The files are organized in subfolders.
