Gnomon School – Master Classes 2011: Concept Design: From Abstraction to Production with Aaron Limonick

Advanced | 4h 44m | 1.16 GB | Required Software: Adobe Photoshop

Focusing on the earliest stage of pre-production, inspiration becomes the artist’s most important weapon in pitching an idea to a director. In this class Aaron Limonick demonstrates bringing an abstract ink experiment to a realized conceptual sketch. The focus of the sketch will range from industrial design to creating a traditionally painted look and a textural surface within the digital medium.
While the demonstration will cover a multitude of digital painting techniques used to create concept art, it will also stress the importance of inspiration and the link between influences and the final product itself. Aaron will give his account of working as a concept artist in the entertainment industry, while searching for unique sources of imagery and creative stimulation.

Digital-Tutors – 3ds Max for Motion Graphics

Advanced | 4h 53m | 3.45 GB | Project Files 1.80 GB | Required Software: 3ds Max 2011, MatchMover, After Effects CS4

This collection of tutorials shows artists how to create an eye-catching motion graphics spot using 3ds Max and After Effects. In this training you will learn from several Digital-Tutors instructors, each of whom will be guiding you through a portion of the entire production pipeline used to create our final motion graphics piece. We will begin by exploring many of the powerful modeling tools found in 3ds Max, and utilizing these tools to build our 3D motion graphics elements. From there, we will look at a number of animation tools and features that will allow us to quickly add movement and life to our 3ds Max elements. From there, we will learn how to incorporate dynamic elements such as flowing cloth, smoke, and sparks into our scene. Finally, we will learn how to render out our elements from 3ds Max, and utilize After Effects for final compositing and sweetening of our motion graphics spot.

Gnomon School – Master Classes 2011: Creating Highly Realistic Composites with Rob Nederhorst

Advanced | 1h 30m | 591 MB | Required Software: NukeX

In this class Rob Nederhorst will take you through the necessary steps to dial in a composite to give it its realism. The focus of the class will be on adding small details to the composite, which most do not notice, but can make all the difference when making the shot “feel” real versus just “looking” real.

Digital-Tutors – Introduction to Animation in CINEMA 4D

Beginner | 2h 44m | 720 MB | Project Files 25 MB | Required Software: CINEMA 4D R12 and up

In this tutorial we will learn the basics of animating in CINEMA 4D. Throughout the tutorial, you will be guided through the CINEMA 4D intuitive animation tools. Our objective will be to build a solid foundation by familiarizing ourselves with core animation components and techniques. We will start by covering the CINEMA 4D animation preferences and how to record animation. We will discuss path animation, how to bake motion from procedural animation and optimize that data, as well as how to edit and blend animation non-linearly and non-destructively with its robust Motion System. We will explore animation layers, how to modify animation in the timeline, we will learn techniques for seamlessly cycling animation, and work with Xpresso, its node-based expression editor. By the end of this tutorial, you will have the foundation required animate comfortably in CINEMA 4D.

Digital-Tutors – Creating Game Weapons in CINEMA 4D and ZBrush 4

Digital-Tutors – Creating Game Weapons in CINEMA 4D and ZBrush 4

Intermediate | 2h 14m | 741 MB | Project Files 121 MB | Required Software: CINEMA 4D R12 and ZBrush 4

In this series of lessons we are going to go through the process of building and detailing a sword using CINEMA 4D and ZBrush. When building 3D assets, the ability of your computer to manipulate those objects is limited, especially when dealing with very high resolution meshes. Because of this, we use 2D images, like normal maps, to simulate the high resolution detail in a way that we can more easily use. In this course, we will build a sword from scratch in CINEMA 4D. Once the base geometry is modeled, we will completely sculpt and paint the sword in ZBrush using a variety of techniques. To finish up, we will generate maps for the color and sculpted detail and use GoZ to quickly transfer all of the data back to CINEMA 4D. When you are done, you will have a better understanding of the workflow involved in building and sculpting high resolution props and set pieces with CINEMA 4D and Zbrush and creating useable assets from them.
