MAR101 – Introduction to Mari
Professor: Gareth Jensen
Our first ever course in Mari is designed to get everybody up to speed with this new and excitingly powerful 3D painting package from The Foundry. Mari is a great leap forward in professional texture painting by being both users friendly and capable of dealing with a staggering large amount of resolution. Professor Gareth Jensen been working with Mari for the past few years as it was developed at Weta Digital and has continued to use it at Double Negative where he currently works. fxphd members will have access to Mari on Linux via the fxphd VPN.
Jensen comes from a background of physical film effects including make-up/prosthetics and painting ranging from props through to miniatures. Mari allows him to take a similar approach to texturing a digital asset by automatically seaming multi-patch UV’s giving a much more complete hands-on feel, similar to that of painting a physical model.
In this course we will be covering the basics to get you up and running, including a breakdown of the tools and palettes that you will find yourself most often using. We will be covering such great tools as paint through, heal/tow and the remarkable warping tools. We will going through the concept of Mari’s shaders and channels system as well as its comprehensive masking options.
Over the course of the term we will be taking an asset from start to finish. f you work like Jensen you probably like using all the tools at your disposal so we will also show how Mari works easily with other packages. I will be going over basic process of working in conjunction with Nuke and also the wonderfully simple to use camera projection set up for all your Photoshop projections.
In Jensen’s 10 years of experience within the film industry, he has had the opportunity to work for both physical effects as well as digital and even began his career as a creature actor for Lord of the Rings. Having previously studied make-up and prosthetics for film in New Zealand his role in the industry further progressed with the renowned Weta Workshop where he was involved in major productions such as King Kong, 30 Days of Night, District 9, Prince Caspian and more recently Avatar. Developing his skills amongst some of the best artists in the industry, Jensen has also trained as a creature and props painter and it was during the production of Avatar that he made the decision to expand his role into the digital world. Switching over to Weta Digital as a texture and look dev artist on Avatar, Jensen has been able to work with Mari during its development and has now used it for over 2 years and is continuing to use it within Double Negatives production pipeline. His background in physical effects has left him with a strong base understanding of how to paint realistic textures and being able to use Mari as his digital medium has made this transition a lot smoother.
Class 1:
A guided tour of the Mari GUI introducing the contents of the toolbox and a brief overview of the pallets. We will also be looking at setting up your project and talk about the subject of resolution.
Class 2:
Approaching an asset by gathering ideas and putting a solid aim together. We will be covering setting up projectors in Mari and using them with Photoshop to design a paint scheme. I will also show you how to create and store custom palettes inside Mari.
Class 3:
In this class we look at cleaning up our projections and become familiar with object handling and fast paint application using both 3D and UV views.
Class 4:
An introduction to the Mari shader system and a demonstration in how to use Mari with Maya texturing tools.
Class 5:
In this class we will be learning how to version up geometry in the object tab, as well as how to paint a metal mask.
Class 6:
In this class we will start to combine the powerful tools and methods we have learnt so far to create interesting and believable rust masks.
Class 7:
In this class we will be looking at ways to use textures in Mari that have been produced in other applications. We will also be going over techniques for weathering your asset.
Class 8:
In this class I will be showing you how to bake shaders out of Mari and also how to apply the power of Nuke to your texturing workflow.
Class 9:
Painting a human hand, in this class I am going to show you one approach to painting skin in Mari. Part 1 of 2.
Class 10:
Painting a human hand, in this class I am going to show you one approach to painting skin in Mari. Part 2 of 2

All The Pixel Farm Full Products 2011 (Win/Mac/Linux) | 826.71 MB
The latest version of PFTrack has just been released, and it looks like The Pixel Farm dev team have been quite busy, packing in a lot of new features, Python scripting and even a new architecture in this latest release. The full list of features have yet to be released but here are just some of the things you can expect in PFTrack 2011…
The new version has been re-written and is now a 64-bit, GPU-accelerated application that also incorporates node-based flowgraph architecture, something only previously available in PFMatchit. There are new tools for match-moving, scene preparation and image processing, so you can do new things like track deformable objects such as an actor?s face while speaking – neat.
Studios will appreciate the new fully-integrated Python scripting and workflow customisation tools, which give you access to the underlying metadata management core of PFTrack 2011 for easier integration within studio workflows.

NEXT LIMIT Maxwell Render V2.5 (WIN X86/WIN X64/MAC OS X/LINUX X64) | 102 Mb / 107 Mb / 126 Mb / 126 Mb
Maxwell Render? is a rendering engine based on the mathematical equations governing light transport, meaning that all elements, such as emitters, materials and cameras, are derived from physically accurate models. Maxwell Render is unbiased, so no tricks are used to calculate the lighting solution in every pixel of a scene; the result will always be a correct solution, as it would be in the real world. Maxwell Render can fully capture all light interactions between all elements in a scene, and all lighting calculations are performed using spectral information and high dynamic range data.
High Dynamic Range Images – or HDRI for short are the lighting technology for truly realistic 3D-Design.
The extra illumination info of a scene which is wrapped into the HDRI-surround image gives your radiosity-scenes a new degree of realism.
The product line Dosch HDRI offers the user a high-quality and comprehensive library of HDRI effects for the direct use in high-end 3D-Design and animation applications.
This technology saves the 3D-designer from elaborate manual definition of multiple light-sources and also from lengthy experimenting with color choice and light-volume. The HDRIs also contain the information whether there is a direct light-source (e.g. sun, spot light) with defined shadows – or a cloudy sky/neon lights with diffuse light and “soft” shadows.
But also the color spectrum of the real scene (environment) has great effect on the virtual, rendered object or scene. The color of things (e.g. trees, gras, forest ground) in the surroundings for instance will impact the appearance of the rendered 3D-model … likewise will the fiery red-tone of a sunset cloud create a realistic mood of such an event in reality.
56 HDR-Images of various sky-moods are provided in the most widely used formats:
Light-Probe (Angular Map)
Spherical Map (Latitude-Longitude)
Vertical-Cross
Horizontal-Cross
All HDRIs are license-free and can therefore be used without any additional cost in all* commercial productions.
(* view License Agreement)
Radiosity – and therefore the use of HDRIs is directly supported in many 3D-applications like 3dsmax 6, VizRender 2005, Viz 2005, Lightwave (version 6.0 and higher), Softimage|XSI, Bryce 6, Maya & Mentalray, Pixar RenderMan, Autodesk VIZ4, messiah:render (Arnold), InSight (Integra), 3ds-max & VRay, 3ds-max & Brazil r/s (Splutterfish), 3ds-max & finalRender (Cebas), Cinema4D Version 8.1, Vue5, Lightwork Render System and many more.
High-resolution HDRIs:
The HDRIs of this collection (V1 content) are provided in the following resolutions – and are therefore also perfectly suited for background use.
Light-Probe – 2048×2048 Pixel
Light-Probe Small – 512×512 Pixel
Spherical Map – 2048×1024 Pixel
Vertical Cross – 2048×1536 Pixel
Horizontal Cross – 1536×2048 Pixel
Format: .hdr (RADIANCE Image Format)
