Right here contains Every Quadspinner Tutorials Released to date including the latest hyperworld tutorial

have fun!

?Capturing the Brilliance of Light? is a must-have tutorial. Presenter Dax Pandhi has mastered the technical combinations to create even the most subtle of atmospheres. He continues to probe and challenge Vue?s sophistication to deliver results that can quite literally take your breath away.

This easy-to-follow, concise training video will give you a tangible edge in your work – not only through your compositions, but also in your confidence.

This easy-to-learn tutorial will show skeptics that you can create stunning terrains in Vue. The spotlight is on the ?Terrain Fractal? as introduced in Vue 7. Presenter Dax Pandhi, a recognized Vue master and passionate digital artist, shares some of his favorite methods to create outrageously realistic terrain elements. Dax?s approachable style is easy to follow and will boost your confidence in the technology.

One of the most challenging feats in digital nature is producing water that looks real: the movement of wind on water, changing reflections, utter stillness, the opacity or transparency of water, and the way water interacts with the shore, jutting rocks and floating matter.

Dive into these intricacies with Vue expert Dax Pandhi. You’ll be thankful you did. You might even attempt marine scenes that you previously shied away from.

One of the most restrictive aspects of 3D terrains has been their confinement to up-down topography. This critical void in digital nature has been filled by Vue master Dax Pandhi. From over 7000 hours (someones telling lies) of trials in his laboratory, Dax has formulated the fractal modeling technique that produces HyperTerrains.

Due to popular demand, Dax Pandhi is presenting another tutorial on QuadSpinner’s Mighty HyperTerrains – this time focused on advanced applications. We covered the basics in Vol. 1, and now, you’ll be able to master more complex structures such as realistic arches and crystal formations. You’ll also witness first-hand that HyperTerrains can have angular hard lines, dispelling the myth that their surfaces are exclusively round and bulbous.

In this video, presented by Dax Pandhi, you will:

  • Learn how to merge the sophistication of Vue and World Machine.
  • Create authentic natural erosion in World Machine for Vue?s Procedural Terrains.
  • Produce stratified terrains by employing the mutually exclusive features of Vue and World Machine.
  • Maximize the power of Vue’s terrain fractals and stratification when combined with World Machine’s super detailed erosion process which includes erosion-oriented natural distribution of materials.
  • Tip the scales with Vue’s Strata Tilting for superior erosion.

A key ingredient to creating authentic terrains in 3D is the presence of strata. Our magnificent planet is covered with contiguous layers of rock, soil, sand, lava and other materials, laid down by natural forces over time. A richly painted canvas of color and texture, these formations add depth and exquisite beauty to our terrestrial landscape.

UV Mapping for Games Low Poly UV Layout with_Mayan_Escalante | 1.45GB
UV layout is one of the most important skills of the game modeler. Unlike high poly modeling, game UVs are given limited texture space. It is important to use that space in the most efficient manner, while minimizing seams and distortion.
How you project and arrange your UVs can greatly impact the look of the model and the time it takes to paint your textures. This lecture will cover the tools and techniques necessary to create efficient UV maps.

* UTE (UV Texture Editor)
* UV Projection
* Creating UV Shells
* Mirroring UVs
* Transferring UVs
* Shell Arrangement
* Using a Reference Map
* Focusing Resolution

2. Mapping the Head
3. Mapping the Upper Body
4. Mapping the Lower Body
5. Mapping Hands
6. Mapping Boots
7. Mapping Gear
8. Mirroring Geometry and UVs

This QuadSpinner scene takes you to the river’s edge in a lush pine forest. ShimmerWind Banks is so pristine, you can hear nature’s heartbeat and the river’s gentle song. The combination of different terrains and distant mountains adds the beauty and depth that inspire a sense of wonder and bliss.

ShimmerWind Banks showcases:

  • ShimmerWind Lite, a scaled down version of ShimmerWind
  • The new water material, redesigned for small streams rather than open water bodies, still captures realistic highlights on and underneath the surface
  • Ease of use, getting broad results with just 3 simple controls – the MetaNode does the rest for you
  • Faster render times
  • Fresh spring atmosphere that makes this verdant setting pop
  • Complex multi-layer EcoSystems with fractal-controlled grass, weeds, and rocks
  • Fractal-powered EcoSystems change colors in a natural manner
  • Dynamic EcoSystems enable renders of this scene on less powerful machines
  • Expandable environment to easily add your own unique touches
  • Technologies based on hundreds of hours of experimentation
