Dynamic Effects Maya Techniques with Alex_Alvarez | 4.65GB

Bullets, Dust Hits and Debris
Duration: 179 min

When objects impact the ground, such as bullets or footsteps, one often expects to see an effect such as a puff of dust (dust hit) or a burst of debris. This four part tutorial demonstrates how to create dust hits and debris from bullets hitting the ground, fired by an animated jet fighter composited into a live action background.
——————————————————————————-
Pixie Dust Using Sprites
Duration: 94 min

Pixie dust… magical powder that emanates from the land of faery and those that inhabit it. Associated with Disney films, Pixie Dust also manages to find itself in movie theatre promos, bumpers, commercials and many video games. This tutorial demonstrates how to create a dynamic Pixie Dust effect using sprites.
——————————————————————————-
Creating and Rendering Sparks
Duration: 60 min

Sparks are a fairly common, yet simple, effect that can be effectively created using Maya dynamics. This tutorial demonstrates sparks from a collision, as well as from a pulsing (expression driven) emitter. Starting from scratch we generate the required elements to produce the effect: volume emitter, particles, fields, animation, expressions, Collision Events, particle shader and utility nodes. For rendering we utlize the Tube software render type as the final output, yet we also discuss how sparks can be rendered using the MultiStreak hardware render type.
——————————————————————————-
Sprite Rendering Fundamentals
Duration: 26 min

Sprite rendering of particles is an incredibly efficient and powerful method for designing an almost unlimited variety of effects. When particles are set to Sprites, an image or sequence (with transparency) can be mapped onto the individual particles. As any image can be used, the possibilities are endless: Snowflakes, optiFX, smoke, fog, dust, fire, splashes, flying birds, dust hits, etc. This tutorial demostrates the fundamental knowledge necessary to utilize sprite rendering in Maya. Shader set-up and managing PP attributes (spriteNum, spriteScale, spriteTwist, lighting) are discussed.
——————————————————————————-
Ground Explosion
Duration: 180 min

This tutorial demonstrates how to generate a volumetric ground explosion that is software rendered with cloud particles. Through the use of emitters, particles, fields, collisions, instancing, expressions, cloud shading, lighting, rendering and compositing, the effect is generated from scratch.

Advanced UV Layout for Production with Kevin Hudson | 1.45GB

In this DVD, Kevin_guides the more advanced modeler through the steps of laying out UVs on more complicated organic objects, where no single simple projection will work. Kevin provides a clear approach to breaking down objects into pieces that can be laid out and reassembled. Starting with a dollhead model, Kevin covers how to combine different projections and use the Relax and Unfold tools to get the desired results.
He then discusses UV layout solutions for clothing and more complicated objects like a horse skull. Kevin then shows how to utilize his favorite tool, UVLayout by Headus, which can really speed up your workflow by automating the process of cutting up the model and projecting onto it, while maintaining a consistent scale. Finally, Kevin explains why in production it may be necessary to have multiple UV sets and what the specific requirements are for programs like ZBrush and BodyPaint. Intended as an advanced tutorial on production UV layout techniques, Kevin’s many years of expertise inform this clear and “holistic” approach to modeling and UV work.

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

VUE201 – A Comprehensive Guide to Vue Taught by Eran Dinur, this course offers a comprehensive approach to learning Vue, with an emphasis on workflow
and techniques needed for effectively using it in various professional production scenarios.
From creating assets for matte painting and compositing to animating and rendering complete 3D scenes.
Vue has gained a prominent position in the industry as a tool for creating rich and detailed 3D natural scenery
and there’s an ever-growing demand for competent Vue artists.

We will first cover all of the main aspects of Vue – the different atmospheric models, polygonal and procedural terrains,
EcoSystems, animation, materials and plant editing, and then dig deeper into more complex areas such as fractal functions
and multi-layered shaders. Keeping in mind the needs of matte painting and compositing, we will also explore Vue’s extensive
multi-pass rendering, matte generation and export options.

Class 1: Introduction to Vue
– We will look at some of the strengths and unique capabilities of Vue. Then we?ll build a simple scene,
which will allow us to get familiar with the interface and various editors.

Class 2: Plants and EcoSystems
– After examining Vue?s SolidGrowth plants, We?ll take a close look at Vue?s fantastic distribution system.
We?ll explore the different approaches to setting up EcoSystems, from free-hand painting to defining distribution
and interaction rules.

Class 3: Atmosphere and lighting
– Mastering the atmospheric models in Vue is essential for achieving good looking renders.
We will devote most of the class to the Spectral atmosphere and volumetric clouds,
and will also take a short look at the standard model and environment mapping.

Class 4: Terrains
– We?ll go through the different terrain types (height field, procedural, large scale and infinite),
and explore terrain hand-sculpting and erosion techniques, as well as basic function editing,
and spherical terrains.

Class 5: Materials and natural distribution
– We will create textured and procedural materials and layer them using natural distribution rules.
We will also create water material and explore transparency, refraction and murkiness.

Class 6: The function Editor
– In this class we will dig deep inside Vue?s powerful node-based function editor,
and learn how to create elaborate terrains and materials using fractal algorithms and filters.

Class 7: Animation
– Importing cameras from external applications, camera and object animation,
animating atmospheres and clouds, wind animation and ventilators,
animating water materials and terrains.

Class 8: Rendering and exporting
– Vue has an extensive multi-pass rendering system, and we?ll take a close look at the various passes
and their potential usage.
We?ll also look at render quality configurations, as well as object and material export options.

Class 9: Advanced Techniques 1
– Displacement, sub-surface scattering, Hyper textures and camera projection mapping.

Class 10: Advanced Techniques 2
– More lighting, terrain, material, plants and EcoSystem techniques.
