Head Modeling for Games Low Poly Modeling with Mayan Escalante | 2.80 GB
3D game artists are faced with certain restrictions when creating models for use in real-time. Game hardware, art direction and development time all have an impact. It is the challenge of the 3D artist to make interesting and visually believable characters while dealing with these restrictions. This DVD covers the creation of a low polygon model of a head for a game environment. Topics such as polygon component modeling, poly count, scripts and facial anatomy are discussed.

* Polygon Component Modeling
* Poly Count Restrictions
* Topology
* MJ Poly Tools
* Polygon Modeling Tools
* Facial Anatomy

1. Setting Up the Scene
2. Modeling Features
3. Modeling the Skull
4. Modeling the Neck
5. Modeling Hair
6. Modeling Inner Mouth Geometry

UV Mapping for Games Low Poly UV Layout with_Mayan_Escalante | 1.45GB
UV layout is one of the most important skills of the game modeler. Unlike high poly modeling, game UVs are given limited texture space. It is important to use that space in the most efficient manner, while minimizing seams and distortion.
How you project and arrange your UVs can greatly impact the look of the model and the time it takes to paint your textures. This lecture will cover the tools and techniques necessary to create efficient UV maps.

* UTE (UV Texture Editor)
* UV Projection
* Creating UV Shells
* Mirroring UVs
* Transferring UVs
* Shell Arrangement
* Using a Reference Map
* Focusing Resolution

1. Separating the Model
2. Mapping the Head
3. Mapping the Upper Body
4. Mapping the Lower Body
5. Mapping Hands
6. Mapping Boots
7. Mapping Gear
8. Mirroring Geometry and UVs
9. Arranging Shells

Lighting and Shading in StudioTools with Dustin Brown

StudioTools is a workhorse application for many industrial designers, but much of its functionality is buried within complex option windows and cryptically named settings. In this DVD, industrial designer Dustin Brown demystifies the rendering process in StudioTools. He covers not only critical settings within the software, but also presents his unique approach to planning, lighting and shader creation.
He concludes with a comprehensive rendering demo in which he shows this approach in action and discusses, among many other things, such difficult topics as depth of field, chrome and clearcoat paint finishes.

The Making of ‘Fume’ with Alex Alvarez | 1.03 GB
These_chapters represent a technical overview of how the image ‘Fume’ was created using Maya, ZBrush and Photoshop. In contrast to some of my other work on Gn0mon0logy and The Gn0mon W0rkshop, Fume was created without any initial design direction. There was no sketch to develop, as was the case with Jester or Trin.
Therefore this tutorial demonstrates a slightly different workflow as I allowed a design to evolve organically. The actual creation of Fume was not recorded, therefore these lectures are all created in realtime as I explain, in detail, the process of creating the image. ‘Fume’ has been toprow plugged at cgtalk, zbrushcentral, 3dtotal and was a ‘daily deviation’ at Deviant Art.

* Retopologizing in ZBrush
* Combining normal maps for different objects on a single shader
* Image based lighting, Final gather, Direct illumination
* Polypainting cavity map
* Look Development
* Integrating elements
* Compositing the Render Layers

Chapters
1. Forms + Topology
2. Basemesh Maya Edit
3. ZBrush Sculpting
4. Maya Setup + Lighting
5. Photoshop Studies
6. Final Composition

In this video we’ll take a well rounded look at the workflow used to texture this Bradley fighting vehicle. Beginning with the author’s approach to texture painting, we’ll then discuss utilizing photo source elements, integrating hand painted dirt, wear and scratches, as well as show techniques for painting cloth and the tank treads. Once our color map is complete we’ll then build our specular map to ensure our surfaces read like metal and offer nice detail and contrast.

In this collection of lessons we will learn about a wide variety of animation techniques that are designed to improve your animation skill-set.

In this course we will build an animation of a character climbing over a wall from scratch, using techniques that can be implemented in any animation. Step by step, we’ll create this climb while covering various techniques like: how to block in your extremes so that finalizing the animation becomes a faster process, strengthening poses to get a more entertaining outcome, and we’ll also learn how to work smarter by utilizing Animation Layers to tweak pre-existing animation non-destructively, so that by the end of this course, you’ll have the knowledgebase you need to create animations quickly and proficiently.

1. Introduction and Project Overview
2. Blocking in the First Extreme of the Climb
3. Blocking in the Second Extreme of the Animation
4. Posing the Action of the Character Scaling the Wall
5. Posing the Character Getting Ready to Leap Over the Wall
6. Animating the Character\’s Descent
7. Wrapping up the Extremes
8. Blocking in an In-between
9. Refining the Upper Body
10. Tweaking the Right Leg
11. Correcting the Left Leg
12. Finishing up the Left Leg / Fixing the Right Arm
13. Wrapping up Corrections on the Left Arm
14. Starting to Finalize the Animation
15. Completing the Animation
