3D Content Creation with SOFTIMAGE|XSI, part one of the MOD Your World training series from Noesis Interactive, focuses on teaching how to “Build Your Character”. Learn the nuts and bolts of the SOFTIMAGE|XSI interface, polygon modeling, texture application, generate props from scratch, and follow step-by-step instructions for creating biped characters. The DVD covers the basics of SOFTIMAGE|XSI 3D software including 3D layout, modeling, texturing, prop and character modeling and provides you with all the short cuts and tips you need to know to get to the ultimate goal – integrating your own charaters, props and maps into video games.
DVD topics covered include:
– SOFTIMAGE|XSI’s interface
– Introduction to modeling
– Basic texture application
– Modeling from reference imagery
– Step by step construction of biped characters
Luxology modo Training Video Human Eye | 461 MB
Genre: eLearning
Eyes are unique, complex and compelling objects. Get them just right and your head (and creatures) will come alive. But get the eyes wrong, and the effect is immediately unsettling and obvious. The key to creating a believable set of eyes lies in the surrounding facial structures as these are what convey expression and emotion. This area of the human face is complex, being the confluence of many curved surfaces flowing into each other, and re-creating it is an opportunity to learn new modo skills.
This set of lessons examines all aspects of modeling in LightWave 3D , starting with a three-dimensional way of thinking and finishing tools, and even plug-ins. Lessons will make it possible for you to simulate any object that comes to mind. Lessons are divided into 4 parts: Modeling 101, Polygonal Modeling, SubPatch Modeling, Spline Modeling.
Creating characters for games presents many challenges for the 3D artist. Issues such as poly count, flexibility of the rig, art direction, and the game environment itself will dictate the final look of the character. In this DVD, Mayan continues from the head model and design used in “Head Modeling for Games”, demonstrating the tools and techniques used to create low polygon characters. Topics such as working from a concept design, poly count, scripts, props and topology are discussed.

All 12 teams cars in LWO and OBJ format, with all the textures… Each cars steering wheel is a separate object to the car model ( so in each folder you will have a car model and a wheel model) the wheel is counted as the whole interior so they are quite detailed and hence why a separate model.
The Teams…..
Ferrari
Force India
HRT
Lotus
Mclaren
Mercedes
RedBull
Renault
Sauber
Tororosso
Virgin
Williams
There are a few issues with these models but they are only minor…
#1 only the diffuse (colour) maps are assigned, the specular and normal maps are in the folders but they are not assigned.
#2 The UV mapping of the tyres/tread isn’t correct for some reason so you may have to tweak the UV layout slightly to make it work ( really shouldn’t be a problem for anyone that knows 3d )

Great lighting is the key to getting professional-looking output from Maya and Mental Ray. Now, for the first time, Pixar Technical Director Jeremy Birn shares his secrets, his settings, and his Maya scenes, in a Maya-specific training DVD. This new DVD features over 3 hours of tightly edited demonstrations of professional lighting and rendering techniques using Maya and Mental Ray. Topics covered include:
Step-by-step lighting of full Maya scenes
Simulated radiosity style lighting for realism and speed
Every kind of Maya light and shadow explored in depth
Hacks, tricks, cheats, and creative uses for light attributes
Practical approaches to professional-looking color choices
Ray-traced shadows: how to optimize them and control their appearance
In-depth guide to fixing different kinds of shadow artifacts and light leaks
Mental Ray controls in lights, shadows, shaders, and render settings
Adjusting shadows in reflections, through transparency and fur, in real-time, and in other special cases
The DVD features 18 video lectures that you can play on your computer. The videos are high-resolution to show every pixel of the Maya interface in each demonstration. All the Maya scenes are included on the DVD as well, along with necessary textures, lights, and shaders to re-create each demonstration. Printable PDF course notes provide a quick reference guide to lighting and rendering functions in Maya.
