eyes
In this series of lessons, we will learn how to texture and render realistic eyes using Photoshop and 3ds Max.
When trying to create highly realistic, lifelike characters, the importance of the eyes is often understated. In fact, the eyes are one of the most important aspects to consider when creating characters that truly look and feel alive. During this course, we will learn how to create highly realistic eye textures from scratch using Photoshop, and in a way that gives us a high degree of flexibility and control over the textures, color variations and other details. Once the texturing has been completed, we will jump into 3ds Max, where we will discuss shading and rendering techniques that can give the eye a highly realistic final look.

Bunkspeed SHOT? is the reimagined, all new generation replacement for HyperShot. Bunkspeed was the first to create an intuitive “virtual digital camera” in the form of interactive real-time rendering with UDRIVE in 2003, then again in 2007 with the first real time ray tracing application HyperShot. Simple and elegant workflow enabled digital designers to bring their creations to realistic life, in minutes not hours. Bunkspeed’s innovative and passionate team have done it again with the pending introduction of the next generation – Bunkspeed SHOT?.

Voxel sculpting allows you sculpt without any topological constraints and make complex details from nothing! You can change topology as you wish. This approach gives you an absolute feeling of freedom in sculpting. It is not based on surface deformation but on volume building and filling. Feel like a true artist here, don’t think about polygons and structure, just express yourself as an artist!

Digital Tutors: Introduction to MatchMover

Posted in: Learning, Tutorials, Videos. Tagged: , , .


In this series of lessons, we’ll learn how to use MatchMover to take our 2D footage and create a 3D scene.

We’ll begin this project by going through the basic workflow of importing the footage, running the automatic tracker and exporting a file into our 3D application. Then we’ll learn how to move around MatchMover’s 2D and 3D viewports to get a preview of the 3D objects. We’ll then learn how to guide MatchMover’s automatic tracker using Contours and how to create manual tracks. Before outputting our scene, we will learn how to create a coordinate system so that everything is aligned correctly. We’ll finish by learning a few techniques to help the camera solve and render a preview video.

Lesson Outline (10 lessons)
1. Introduction and Project Overview
2. “Importing a sequence, automatic tracking and exporting”
3. Previewing the track quality in 2D and 3D space
4. Using Contours to guide the automatic trackers
5. Manually tracking to get 3D data out of MatchMover
6. Adding a Coordinate System to properly set the scale and axes
7. Manually tracking to help camera solve accuracy
8. Cleaning the 2D tracks to solve faster and increase quality
9. Manually tracking difficult points using multiple keyframes
10. Placing a 3D Object and Rendering a preview video

Posted in: Learning, Tutorials, Videos. Tagged: , , , , .


In this introduction to photorealistic texture painting, Justin Holt discusses how a trained eye for detail and keen sense of observation are essential attributes to being a successful texture painter in the the feature film industry. Using BodyPaint and Photoshop, Justin will demonstrate some of his easy to follow techniques and tricks of the trade in order to paint proper color, bump, displacement, specular and opacity maps. But more importantly, Justin will go through essential principles to maintaining a non-destructive workflow while painting textures to ensure a maximum amount of control and flexibility for any revisions and changes that may be requested after the maps are completed in a production environment. Additionally, Justin will complete the lecture with a quick run through in Modo to show how to quickly and easily generate polished renders that showcase all of the finely tuned texture work.

Acropora 1.0.0045

Posted in: 3D, Downloads, Softwares. Tagged: .


A procedural modeler, Acropora combines volumetric modifiers with multi-octave 3D noise sampling to generate detailed surfaces in far less time than conventional surface modeling software. Acropora adopts a less deterministic approach to generating complex, organic shapes by applying sequences of modifiers on large voxelized meshes. The effect is to create an endless, seamless expanse of surface that undulates and changes in a natural way. The resulting meshes contain caves, ridges, overhangs and other natural features that are not possible with height maps. Meshes can then be broken up into segments, with segments further divided into different levels of details.
