SitniSati DreamScape Ver2.5F for 3DsMAX 2012 32Bit/64Bit

DreamScape is sophisticated set of 3DS MAX plug-ins for creating and rendering realistic landscapes, seascapes, skies, clouds, outdoor lighting and more. In contrast to other terrain creation tools for 3DS MAX, DreamScape Terra uses new rendering technologies that occupy much less of your computers memory (RAM) making it possible to render large detailed terrains on even a modest system. An intuitive and friendly user interface will allow you to easily tweak terrain properties, interactively paint elevation, and even to apply erosion effects. We have created an API for those who would like to create custom filters for terrain processing and modification. DreamScape’s Terra also allows importing standard DEM, SDTS and Terragen files. The possibilities are unlimited.

DreamScape package includes several plug-in types:
* DreamScape atmospherics (Daylight, Sky, 2D/3D Clouds, Rainbow)
* DreamScape SubSurface atmospherics (realistic underwater scenery)
* SunLight (raytrace shadows, area shadows)
* Terra object (‘virtual polygon’ rendering – low memory and fast, easy SDK for terrain filters, MAX Script support) + advanced terra editor
* Terrain material and texmap (apply different materials and texmaps based on elevation and/or slope)
* SeaSurface object (optimized mesh, advanced waves generator, foam generator, support for DS Daemons)
* Sea Material (reflect, refract, glittering)
* Composite texmap
* Noise texmap (many noise types with advanced control inside one texmap)
* Dynamics Daemon for dynamics simulation, including wakes, reflected/refracted waves, automatic foam creation and more.

FXPHD – NUK204 – Intermediate Nuke

English | MOV | 1152×720 | Video H264 222kb/s | Audio AAC 63kb/s | 3.3Gb
Genre: eLearning

Our new second-level intermediate Nuke X course picks up where the 100 level offering leaves off. Using Nuke X version 6, professor Sean Deveraux will work through concepts in the app as well as lead several project-based classes. The 3D compositing environment of Nuke is one of its strengths, so several classes will dive fully into this feature with practical, real-world examples. Deveraux will also be covering the nuts and bolts of setting up Nuke for automation as well as taking a first look at Gizmos, Nuke’s “macro” functionality. The focus is on the type of work that any compositor might run into while working at a facility.

Deveraux is our lead Nuke professor at fxphd. He has been using Nuke since 2000, working as a compositor at Digital Domain on Hollywood blockbusters such as How the Grinch Stole Christmas, I, Robot, and Star Trek: Nemesis. Using a variety of compositing packages, his freelance work has taken him to ILM (Transformers), Hydraulx (Rise of the Silver Surfer), and others. He is currently working at Brickyard VFX in Boston.

This course serves as a replacement for NUK202, updated for Nuke version 6/X which will be available on the VPN once the release ships.

Class 1: An in-depth look at Nuke 6’s RotoPaint tool, covering everything from soup to nuts.

Class 2: Inside NukeX’s Camera Tracker and Lens Distortion tools and how to use the data they collect in production.

Class 3: Fun with Gizmo’s! We’ll create and customize a “film look” gizmo, learn a little python and even customize nuke’s menus and toolbars!

Class 4: A two part class on keying in nuke with a difficult shot. This class is focuses on keylight and the mind set when approaching a difficult key. Part two will final the composite and go through assembling a key from multiple keyers.

Class 5: Part two of our multi layered keying class. This class goes beyond theory and into practical production problem solving to final an above average difficulty shot.

Class 6: Multi-pass compositing! The joys of controlling just about everything in the comp and how to maintain all those extra channels and layers properly and efficiently.

Class 7: Multi-Multi-pass compositing! Way beyond just diffuse, reflection and specular passes. Full relighting and retexturing in nuke using normals and uv passes.

Class 8: Super Pan N Tile Setup: Feature film level quality tiles supplied and ready for your imagination. This is a massive 18 tile, 300 degree, multi tiered system that will wow your friends and influence your employers.

Class 9: Matte Painting 3D Extraction: How to bring life into you static, placid and all around flat image.

Class 10: Final touches, grain matching and tips tricks featuring The Foundry’s Furnace Core!

Digital Tutors ? Texture Projection Techniques in MARI | project files | .flv | 706Mb
Genre: eLearning
In this series of lessons, we will be exploring many of the tools and features of MARI that will allow you to texture your models faster and with more precision.

This course will begin by discussing the basic workflow of projecting texture detail onto your geometry within MARI as well as important features and settings that you will want to be aware of at an early stage of your texturing process.

From there, we will move into important topics such as mirroring painted details from one side of your geometry to the other, utilizing a multi-layered approach when creating our textures in MARI, looking at methods for seamlessly blending our textures together, as well as many additional tips, tricks, and techniques that you will be able to use within your own MARI projects.

Each process is described in a step by step, numbered manner, with numerous screen shots showing the various stages of Compositing, showing the progressive results of the different Compositing Nodes. Each different topic is also assigned a completion time indicating how long it should take the reader to carry out the task. I am not sure of the point of timing each process, but some users may find it useful.

Most of the topics are covered with minimal reading involved, which to be honest when dealing with the Compositor is a good thing. The pictures within the EBook are very clear and Andrew takes enough time to explain most of the important node features used to achieve the particular effects he is after. I would have liked a more detailed description of some features used by certain nodes, but for the purposes of getting certain effects, they were described adequately.

For the amount of information and number of pages within the EBook, some could argue that the price is a little high and while it certainly isn’t a cheep EBook, it probably justifies the price. Because it covers Blender 2.5’s way of doing things (one of a very few that do) and covers special effects using Blender’s Node editor, so it is worth the price for people who want to get up and running with Blender 2.5’s Node Editor as quickly as possible and have a set of special effects technique available to them after having read the EBook. As an added bonus Andrew mentions that the book will be updated as things change in Blender 2.5’s Compositor up to year 2012, so looking at it from that point of view, the price is not quiet as high as it seems.

The Beginning and Intermediate Blender users will, I think, get the most benefit out of this material rather than an advanced Blender user, as it is likely that someone with extensive knowledge will already know the Compositor tricks to produce the demonstrated special effects.

Overall an excellent resource for special effects and Blender 2.5 Compositor functionality.
