Building a Character for Games
Get the inside story with Building a Character for Games where an industry professional reveals the intricacies of character modeling. Using the library of body parts included on this DVD, build a low-poly model that is optimized for game play and then refine it to reate the hi-poly model you need to generate normal maps. Work with symmetrical and asymmetrical geometry; add just enough detail to make the character stand out; adjust smoothing groups as needed. Learn to identify trouble spots and avoid quirks that would otherwise come up during the debug phase in a professional games pipeline.
Finally, admire your results in a convincing human figure that is ready for rigging.

Genre: eLearning
For this new series, we?ll be showing how to make a simple 3D platformer concept game in the spirit of classic action/adventure titles such as ?Tomb Raider.? The idea is to step up from the primarily 2D approach provided in our previous projects and explore the world of full 3D game development.

This will be critical as we prepare to jump into our upcoming MMO project. As a matter of fact, this 3D platformer will give us the opportunity to introduce you to a few of the core elements that will be used in the development of the MMO game itself!

The 3D platformer game will focus on the following key features:
? A rich, fully explorable 3D environment
? Customizable and sculptable terrain
? Environment light mapping using Beast
? Dynamic occlusion culling with Umbra
? An intuitive custom-designed 3rd person camera system
? A customized character control and animation system
? Interactive puzzles and mini-games for the player to solve

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.

? Adding effects
Used programs:
? 3Ds Max 2011 + Vray
? After Effects
Unfortunately we can’t include the delivery into the cost — it is paid separately as it’s cost differs from country to country.
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.

Title

This 76-page eBook provides a detailed account of building, texturing and lighting the interior of a Gothic church based upon a concept painting. This series begins with the key principles and techniques used to model the environment before moving on to a chapter dedicated to creating a gargoyle in ZBrush ? the focal point in the scene. Here the author starts by creating a rough body using ZSpheres and move through the numerous sculpting phases, modeling the details for each part of the character and highlighting the various brushes and tools used throughout. The final chapters cover texturing, lighting and rendering the scene, along with post-production in Photoshop and culminate in a stylish 3D version of the original concept.
