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.

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

This QuadSpinner scene takes you to the river’s edge in a lush pine forest. ShimmerWind Banks is so pristine, you can hear nature’s heartbeat and the river’s gentle song. The combination of different terrains and distant mountains adds the beauty and depth that inspire a sense of wonder and bliss.

ShimmerWind Banks showcases:

ShimmerWind Lite, a scaled down version of ShimmerWind
The new water material, redesigned for small streams rather than open water bodies, still captures realistic highlights on and underneath the surface
Ease of use, getting broad results with just 3 simple controls – the MetaNode does the rest for you
Faster render times
Fresh spring atmosphere that makes this verdant setting pop
Complex multi-layer EcoSystems with fractal-controlled grass, weeds, and rocks

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

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