If you’re interested in animation then you’ll love the Robot Animation tutorial

It will take you though the steps used to get him moving around on screen.
We begin by importing a fully rigged character and will spend some time getting familiar with his controls,
like selecting control handles. Once we have a feel for moving him with his controls we will set him up for the animation.

Starting off with a basic walk pose we will learn how to key frame our robot so that he begins to move forward and eventually tries to open a door.

Learning 3D Character Animation with Jeff Lew

From the Lead Animator of Matrix Reloaded, the ‘Learning 3D Character Animation with Jeff Lew’ series is one of the few real character animation classes on DVD. There are so many how-to videos on the market showing you how to setup a character or model a character in a specific 3D software package, but very few training videos showing you actually how to animate a character in 3D. This 3-part DVD series will teach you strong fundamentals necessary for creating great character animation in any 3D animation software package. Continue Reading

VRay: THE COMPLETE GUIDE is the first book in the world completely devoted to VRay. Its aim is to provide an avanced support for the specialists in this branch. All too often we lose a lot of time searching the meaning of a particular parameter. Who hasn’t spent entire days trying to understand what was wrong with their rendering? Having some ?presets? is not enough: it is necessary to understand and have knowledge of the tools daily used. This is the only way thanks to which you’ll be able to face more and more difficult tasks.

VRay: THE COMPLETE GUIDE was born thanks to two year’s hard work, during which we tried to produce a high-quality handbook committed to VRay’s users. Not just a basic list of commands, but a special tool, composed by technical and theorical parts, by which you’ll be carried away! You’ll be able to find, through 1000 pages, 2300 images and 3200 renderings expressly created for this handbook. Enclosed you’ll also find a DVD-ROM containing 32 animations in .mov format, bearing examples otherwise impossible to understand via images only. It’s an unrepeatable handbook, difficult to find elsewhere: made up of 1000 pages, full colour, 20x28x5cm (other manuals are usually smaller: 17x23x3cm). Bound with extreme care, through paperback binding stitched with wire referendum and not simply glue, it holds up through the time. The hardback cover also is hardbound disk, allowing a better usability.

STASH DVD 01

This is the first issue of Stash DVD. Enjoy it!!!

Nobody reads the editorial, I said. It?s a magazine, they said, you gotta have an editorial. But it?s not like a magazine magazine with all the silly reading and stuff. Good point, they said, still need the editorial. There?s nothing to write, I said, you watch the disk, you look at the pictures, you eat your sandwich– Oh, they said, and you need a head shot. No pictures. Just a small one. No pictures. Okay, okay, they said, but people are expecting the editorial. To do what? I said, blabber about the friction of art and commerce or the democratization of digital storage space in the context of a violent and complex world? Sounds great, they said, can you do it in two hundred words?
