Hi firescript,

it is very(!) difficult to find free content about ICEM Surf on the net. In fact I did not succeed myself in doing so... I suggest, You try to find someone, that has material about ICEM himself and is willing and allowed to share it with You. ICEM themself sell courses teaching their software and earn money with this; so they probably won't be any help in finding something about ICEM. What You may try is contact the two following people from german university FH Zwickau. Perhaps (!) and with good arguments up your sleeve, You give them enough reason to help You out. Look out for

Professor Dr. Lutz Nagel & Professor Dr. Peter Bonitz

This is just a hint. So don't get frustrated, if You ain't getting anything from them - but worth a try though I think. ICEM knowledge is precious and so the knowledge is kept by those who know - unfortunately :-(

So You might also consider, what akh154 already told You, and learn the best You can about surfaces and their controlpoints with Rhino and Alias-trial and then try to find an employer, that is willing to get You teached on ICEM. Which is not that unlikely right now, as ICEM-modellers are a scarce breed at the moment :-)

P.S.: And if You speak german, You may talk in a subforum of <A HREF="http://www.cad.de" TARGET=_blank>www.cad.de about ICEM Surf</A> - altough the forum is not very much frequented :-(
