Today we bring you day 4 of Chris Tate?s ?Civil War Cannon? series, available exclusively to our Premium subscribers. In today?s post Chris continues working towards the completion of the model by adding many of the smaller elements that detail the Cannon?s main section. Let?s continue!

In this tutorial we will be going through the entire process of creating a detailed, high resolution Civil War Cannon using 3D Studio Max, xNormal and Photoshop. The entire pipeline is covered in detail, starting with the creation of the model and then moving onto Uvmapping and texturing.

Throughout the project, we?ll utilize a wide range of tools and techniques, including basic poly modeling and spline work, to more advanced subdivision modeling. We?ll also make use of many of 3ds Max?s modifiers and uvmapping tools. We?ll then move over to xNormal to bake out an Ambient Occlusion Map and then into Photoshop to create our Diffuse, Bump and Specular maps. Lighting the scene, shader creation and completing a final render are also covered in detail.

AsileFX: Vue Advanced Custom Plant Creation Vol.1 & 2

Includes project files.

AsileFX: Vue Advanced Custom Plant Creation Have you ever felt that your creativity is being limited by the number of limited plants available for Vue?
Are your third party imported plants taking too long to render?
Are you interested in learning how to create your own Solid Growth plants?
If so, this is the tutorial for you!

Advanced Custom Plant Creation, is a cross application tutorial. The tutorial will show you how you can use programs like Photoshop, together with Vue, to create new and completely custom Solid Growth plants and trees.

If you are not a current user of Photoshop, then you will be happy to know that the techniques in the tutorial can be used with almost every image editing application.
Even if you dont plan on entirely designing your own plants, you can still learn how to use existing images maps, like the ones found in the AsileFX Leaves Collection and AsileFX Seamless Bark, to customize Vue plants and trees. Samples from these collections are included with the tutorial to aid in the learning process.

The tutorial is taught in Vue Infinite, but it can be used with any version of Vue that has plant surface editing tools. Photoshop is used to demonstrate all image editing tools, but most earlier versions possess the same tools, and can be used without restriction.

Time to take your Vue vegetation files to the next level!
In Advanced Custom Plant Creation 2, instructor Nicholas Pellegrino, will show you his secrets to creating amazing plants in Vue and Photoshop. Over 6 hours of Vue and Photoshop training.

Learn to create image and Vue scene templates to quickly and easily create amazing foliage.
This training includes several companion files to use while you follow along with the tutorial. You will also receive bonus content, to add to your template files and enhance your scenes.

Includes a highly detailed HTML menu, with links to resources and more.

Vitaly Bulgarov – 3D Design for Production

In this lecture, Vitaly Bulgarov shows his process of creating a fully rendered 3D design for production-oriented pipelines. Using the example of an alien bust, Vitaly goes through the main steps of creating a sci-fi character design from scratch.
He begins by making a quick bust sketch in ZBrush. He then creates a detailed suit design in XSI using the block-out as a guideline for the proportions of the alien bust. By doing this, Vitaly shows the techniques and tools he uses to create complicated surfaces like multi-layered metal plates, rubber pads, tubes, and attachments. Solving design on the fly, without making any preliminary sketches, he builds a fully detailed mesh for the helmet and suit, explaining why certain design decisions are made.
Once the model is complete, Vitaly takes it into Keyshot for raytrace rendering and then brings the renders to Photoshop to finalize the design, push the overall look and bring more personality to the character by adding final textures and detail enhancements.
