PACK accelerates the design and visualization of packages in modo. It helps package designers and CG artists circumvent some of the technical stumbling blocks involved in modeling and scene construction. At the core of PACK is a collection of over 200 presets, images and assemblies which constitute a large library of packages and package components which can be modified and assembled to both visualize existing packaging – and to create totally new package designs.

With PACK you can quickly create bags, wrappers, boxes, bottles, cans, cartons, tubes and tubs, and non-destructively develop new packaging concepts. PACK is far more than a simple collection of pre-built models; it?s a flexible framework for creating your own custom designs. Everything in PACK is a starting point. It?s up to you where you take it.

Posted by Users on 2011/04/04

Posted in: 3D, CG Releases, Downloads, Softwares, Windows. Tagged: Game Development, Game programming, Unreal Engine.

UDK
English | PC | Windows | Size: 1.32 Gb
Genre: Developement Software
UDK is Unreal Engine 3 – a complete professional development framework. All the tools you need to create great games, advanced visualizations and detailed 3D simulations on the Pc and iOS. The best tools in the industry are in your hands. Unreal Engine 3 has been used by game developers, researchers, television studios, machinima directors, artists and students. If you have an idea that needs to be brought to life in a game engine, UDK is for you.

Why UDK
Only UDK has the power, flexibility and track record of Unreal Engine 3. These tools have been proven with countless releases and dozens of awards. There is no better way to make awesome games on the Pc and iOS than with UE3.

News from Epic Games
March 2011 UDK Beta released: March 9, 2011 – Epic Games, Inc. has released the March 2011 UDK Beta, the latest version of the Unreal Development Kit (UDK), the free edition of Unreal Engine 3 that provides access to the award-winning toolset used in blockbuster video games, 3D visualizations, digital films and more.
Epic recently presented a brand new Unreal Engine 3 real-time demonstration entitled ”Samaritan,” which leverages DirectX 11 support, high-end rendering features, NVIDIA APEX physics technology and other engine upgrades. These new technical additions are now available in the March build of UDK.

Important DirectX features now shipping with UDK include:
– Tessellation and displacement;
– Geometry shaders;
– Multisampled textures; and
– Shader Model 5.

High-end rendering features include:
– Image-based reflections that allow surfaces of any shape to reflect an approximate version of scenes, with varying glossiness across surfaces, anisotropic HDR highlights and anti-aliasing;
– Subsurface scattering (SSS) that simulates the light that scatters inside semi-translucent materials, making character skin come alive;
– Anti-aliased masked materials that super sample the edges of masked and alpha-tested materials, making character hair more look realistic than ever before;
– Deferred rendering with MSAA support;
– Bokeh depth of field providing close to film-quality DOF, with artist-controllable Bokeh; and
– High-quality dynamic shadows from many lights on the environment, such as shadows for point lights and other light sources.

NVIDIA’s APEX technology has also been integrated into the engine and ships with UDK.
In addition, Epic has raised the royalty-free revenue threshold for UDK commercial developers. Under the new license agreement, developers don’t pay any royalties until their total revenue exceeds $50,000 (US). Beyond that, developers keep 75 percent of each dollar they receive and Epic receives 25 percent.

UDK projects can be promoted to the community in the Works in Progress forum and the Released Projects forum.

March Beta Upgrade Notes
– DirectX 11 is now supported in UDK!
– Adaptive Bokeh Depth of Field (DOF)
– Dynamically shadowed image-based reflections

Rendering
– The ability to scale effects (such DOF and bloom) with the view size was added. Post Process Effect -> Scale Effects with View Size
– The ability to use tiled normals on fluid surfaces and any material was added.

Unreal Landscape: UDK’s new terrain system
– Support for ZBrush-style painting
– Support for tablet sensitivities
– Option to auto-update weightmap mipmaps while painting layers
– Perlin Noise in the Noise tool available
– Support for thermal and hydraulic erosion

NVIDIA APEX Support
– NVIDIA APEX technology enables artists to quickly generate physically simulated clothing and destructible environments. For more information on APEX, please visit: http://developer.nvidia.com/object/apex.html

Unreal Editor
– To enable the DX11 renderer in the editor: View -> Preferences -> Enable DirectX 11 Rendering
– The ability to see which DOF layers are in focus is exposed through a new show flag.
– Image reflections are now toggleable via Unreal Matinee.
– The checkerboard background in the texture properties window can be toggled through a toolbar option.
– Importing morph targets from FBX files now uses multi-threading to speed up the importing process.
– The FBX importer now supports importing lightmap UVs from FBX meshes that have more than one UV set.
– The error reporting when loading packages and maps that have missing objects has been improved.
– Matinee now supports jumping on the visibility interp track.
– Double-clicking anim notifies within animations focus shifts and expands the notify in the properties panel.

maya
Autodesk Maya 2010 | .flv | project files | Final Render | 2.66 GB
You will learn how to create this stunning science space exploration vehicle in Maya and Mudbox using current and practical methods to achieve these results.

Autodesk, Inc. (ADSK: NASDAQ), has introduced its ?Vehicle for Games? curriculum for post-secondary students.The 16-week curriculum provides hands-on training for the entire game development pipeline, from concept art to creating an engine-ready asset.
Autodesk developed the curriculum with professionals from leading game developers NCSoft and Double Helix, to mirror the requirements of real-world game development. Laguna College of Art & Design (LCAD) in California is piloting ?Vehicle for Games?. Sandy Appleoff, game art department chair at LCAD, said, ?Autodesk is a company that cares about the paradigm shift in the way we educate our young people, providing us with resource tools that help embrace the future of education. With the ?Vehicle for Games? curriculum, Autodesk provides a valuable link between educators and the game industry, and helps make sure that our graduates? qualifications match industry needs. Having this masterful curriculum has allowed our students to move faster. By the end of the semester they will have produced game engine-ready assets and have them loaded and functioning in the game engine.?
LCAD instructor Derek Sunshine is currently teaching the curriculum. Sunshine said, ?The goals set for my class are aggressive. This curriculum complements what the students are trying to achieve at LCAD by going step-by-step through the process of creating AAA quality art for games. Both LCAD and Autodesk have a standard of quality that really helps push students into gaining the upper hand in this very competitive job market.?
maya
Intended for intermediate to advanced students, ?Vehicle for Games? takes a unique approach to teaching 3D techniques by providing an art director?s point of view for various steps of game development. The first lesson explores concepts based on a narrative, guiding students through the progression of an idea that starts with a simple poem and moves into a story-rich world with many visual possibilities. The lessons examine storytelling and how important it is to identify and remain aware of the world in which the vehicle asset will be placed.
Students go through the process of modeling and texturing a vehicle for a video game, learning industry techniques. ?Vehicle for Games? also provides a taste of what it?s like to be an asset modeler working in production. It includes video tutorials, models, textures, concept art, and orthographic drawings that students can follow or use as guides to create their own vehicles with their own concepts.
Access to the Curriculum
?Vehicle for Games? is available in English on the Autodesk Education Community, in the Level 4 content on the Industry Careers Framework micro site. Please note that the Autodesk Education Community is accessible only to faculty and students with a valid email address from a registered educational institution.

As for the “Making of 3D sportcar” product:
It is a DVD packed into a plastic case which contains information on the creating of a sportcar model.. The disc has 20 hours of video tutorials. This time includes all the stages of creating the model from scratch. (21 videos lasting from 20 to 100 minutes).
As an example you can watch “Pepsi poster” video tutorial. The disk has the same similar videos but they are relating to a sportcar creation.
Please note that the videos as well as “Pepsi poster” have no sound. You simply penetrate into and observe the process of car making.
Please remember that the tutorials have no theoretical part, no description of the instruments (otherwise we should have the product on 5 DVD discs).
For better understanding we can say: “imagine yourself behind the back of a professional, see his monitor and what is happening on the monitor” (like in the “Pepsi poster”).
Besides the tutorials the disc has a car model.
