CRAFT ANIMATIONS PRE RIGGED MODELS

CRAFT ANIMATIONS PRE RIGGED MODELS
Host?s Load and Save functions saves and loads all Craft Director Studio information in a scene. Saved scenes may therefore be merged or referenced into new scenes with all the Craft Director Studio information intact allowing creation of PRM libraries ready to be drag-and-dropped into new scenes (or referenced if using an animation assembly line) fully rigged for being immediately animated on the fly. This functionality also allows for a director to save his favorite camera rig and merge it into any scene.

This then in turn can be used by content creation studios, or modeling artists who sell their models on the Internet, to make their models animatable with great ease.

Gnomon Workshop: Maya Rendering 1 – Light Fundamentals – DVDRIP

This lecture introduces the basic concepts of lighting and rendering a scene. It begins by introducing Render Globals, Depth-Map and Raytrace shadows, and each of the light types in Maya.
