Throughout this Maya tutorial we will discover some simple yet unorthodox skinning methods that will speed up our workflow In this Maya tutorial, Boston based artist Farley Chery will lead the viewer the unusual yet intuitive technique of multi-mesh skinning, a process created in his last production. The entire rigging process can be long and arduous, so great work flow is essential to speeding up the process. Multi-Mesh is an unorthodox method which allows the user to use the best possible initial settings throughout the body and blending them into a a seamless mesh. This eccentric approach allows for skinning most body parts in seconds and problem areas such as the clavicle and shoulder regions in minutes. The artist will show some of his best techniques in efficiency and troubleshooting into this amazing tutorial.

Advanced | 3h 01m | 1.45 GB | Project Files 504 MB | Required Software: Maya 2012, modo 501, Fusion 6.2, TopoGun 1.06, ZBrush 4

This tutorial discusses the production of two shots of a CGI photorealistic firefly that can be a part of a movie or a commercial. While this series of tutorials is not a step-by-step guide, they instead offer an in-depth look at the key aspects of production that goes into creating realistic-looking shots that would otherwise be difficult to shoot without the aid of computer graphics. These tutorials will cover everything from the concept sketches and visualization to modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, rendering and final compositing of the photorealistic shots. While the tools used in this series of tutorials are primarily Maya and modo, the techniques discussed are easily applicable to other mainstream applications.

Advanced | 1h 46m | 627 MB | Project Files 0.2 MB | Required Software: 3ds Max 2011, FumeFX 2.0, Krakatoa 1.6

In this tutorial we will learn to create dynamic, flexible tornado systems and render them using a variety of techniques.
This tutorial will show how to set up a complex Particle Flow system to make a tornado inside of 3ds Max. Going beyond a traditional vortex field, the tornado that we’ll create in this tutorial will employ recursive logic to keep the system alive while still being lightweight enough to be animatable inside the viewport. We will then look at getting much more natural movement by simulating FumeFX based off of the particle simulation. We’ll also touch on Krakatoa and using that to render a large number of particles. Partitioning will be covered along with some of the rendering options available. Finally, we’ll look at some techniques to fix artifacts in NUKE.

Digital-Tutors – 3D Rotation with Trackers and Trigonometry in NUKE[/center]
Advanced | 2h 22m | 748 MB | Project Files 61 MB | Required Software: NUKE 5.2 and up

In this series of lessons we’ll learn how to use trackers and trigonometry to match rotation of an eye in NUKE’s 3D system.

We’ll then create an appealing final video using a few simple images and a variety of compositing and animation techniques. We’ll begin this project by importing our elements and tracking various features of the face. Once we have a base of tracking data to work off of, we’ll learn the basic math terms and ideas that we will use to translate our 2D tracker data into 3D rotation. We’ll then learn how to take our mathematical equation, and translate it into an expression NUKE understands. Once we have our rotation expressions working, we’ll finish our 2d elements using a variety of color correction, masking and animation techniques. Then we’ll combine all our nodes using compositing math to correctly mix everything together.

Intermediate | 3h 46m | 1.12 GB | Project Files 10 MB | Required Software: CINEMA 4D 11.5

In this course we will explore the use of CINEMA 4D to build interior sets.

From traditional polygon modeling tools to powerful spline based techniques, CINEMA 4D offers a number of options for building models. Building an interior set will provide us with an opportunity to put many of those tools into practice building organic and inorganic shapes in a variety of ways. We’ll explore methods for building hard surfaces like the room architecture, cabinetry, and furniture. We’ll use splines creatively to help us build things like shelves, lamps, and artwork and explore the use of Cloner Objects to quickly generate multiple copies of geometry. We’ll shape some of our organic objects using tools like the Magnet and Brush, and we’ll talk about keeping our scene clean by creating a useful hierarchy. We’ll touch on a wide range of modeling tools that will not only allow you to create this particular interior set, but to build your own sets and models more quickly and efficiently.

Intermediate | 1h 47m | 605 MB | Project Files 110 MB | Required Software: MatchMover 2011 and NUKE 6.1

In this series of lessons we’ll learn how to use MatchMover to track an object as if it was our scene, then finish the shot with Maya and NUKE.

Using MatchMover we can find the movements of a real life object and move a 3d object to match. We’ll begin this project by manually tracking our sequence in MatchMover and exporting it for use in Maya. We’ll then take our solved camera into our Maya scene and move our object into place. We’ll then learn how to capture our 3d environment reflections and create some helpful matte layers. Once we’ve rendered our Maya sequence, wecll learn how to combine all of our images in NUKE. We’ll learn about processing our background footage to capture traveling mattes, as well as many different ways to combine our various mattes to create effects. We’ll finish by adding a silhouette and color correcting our images.
