PosterDigital-Tutors – Animation Retargeting Techniques in Maya

Intermediate | 1h 15m | 474 MB | Project Files 80 MB | Required Software: Autodesk Maya 2012

In this set of Maya tutorials you will learn a variety of techniques for retargeting animation to save time building animation assets. We’ll start by learning how Maya’s Trax Editor can be used to retarget animation. We’ll then take another approach and utilize MEL to accomplish the same thing. Finally, we’ll work with Maya’s intuitive Human IK toolset to retarget from a performance-captured animation to a custom skeleton. We’ll also cover techniques for optimizing and correcting animation after it has been remapped. By the end of this set of tutorials, you will be familiar with several tools you have at your disposal for re-purposing animation, to, ultimately, save production time.

PosterDigital-Tutors – Creative Development: Character Modeling Workflows with ZBrush and 3D Coat with Bojana Nedeljkovic

Advanced | 2h 27m | 946 MB | Project Files 94 MB | Required Software: ZBrush 4R2, 3D Coat 3.5

This tutorial covers tips and techniques that allow for quickly blocking in forms. Throughout the tutorial we will learn methods that allow us to focus on the expression and emotion of the character and the personality it conveys, instead of having to worry about the topology while modeling using ZBrush and 3D Coat. We will look at how we can take advantage of 3D Coat’s excellent retopology tools, including automatic retopology. Other modeling techniques we’ll learn are Shadowbox, DynaMesh, insert brushes, extractions, alpha to 3D and ZSketch.

Digital-Tutors – Creative Development: Modeling a Cowgirl Character in Maya and Silo with Antony Ward

Advanced | 3h 05m | 1018 MB | Project Files 11 MB | Required Software: Silo 2.2, Maya 2012

In this tutorial we will explore how to build a stylised cowgirl character using subdivision surfaces. Throughout these lessons we will explore the use of subdivision surfaces to help us quickly create a stylized cowgirl character. We will begin with a base mesh before posing her and adding clothing and detail. The result will be a highly detailed model ready for textures and rendering that can be used in an illustration or even animation. Although we will primarily be using Silo throughout the tutorial, the techniques taught in these lessons can be followed along using any subdivision surfaces software.
