The Gnomon Workshop – Pipelines for Video Game Animation

Character Animation Techniques with Scott Easley
| 1,8 G | RS |

Scott Easley takes you through the process of constructing a character animation pipeline in Maya that will allow you to constantly improve and update your characters without adversely affecting any of the existing animations. Scott also shows you how to use the Trax animation editor from the ground up and how to build a library of animation actions which you can then use to block-out more complex character animations. Included on this DVD are tutorials, a sample rig, blend shapes for facial set-ups, character texture maps, custom tools, shelves, poses and a Maya project to get you on your way.

The Gnomon Workshop – Image Based Modeling: Advanced

| 1,5 G | RS |

In the second DVD of this image modeling series, Greg Downing delves into more advanced photogrammetry techniques. This lesson teaches you how to perform image-based modeling and texturing within Maya using cameras calibrated for Realviz ImageModeler. Greg shows you how using panoramas for photogrammetry allows you to construct a location with a minimal number of images. He then illustrates how to calibrate those panoramas in Realviz ImageModeler for image-based modeling and texturing within Maya. This DVD assumes a basic familiarity with polygonal modeling, and though the examples are demonstrated within Maya, the workflow is applicable to any 3D package.

Gnomon Workshop – Maya Training Character Animation III DVD | 3.9 GB

The art of character animation is about telling story through acting. This lecture covers the setup of a two-character scene that includes a simple character, with few keyable attributes, and a complex character with many keyable attributes. We will approach setting major key poses, moving holds, extremes, overlap and contact positions together with adding and freeing tangent weight on function-curves. Inbetweens are also used to control the contrast and spacing of movement in our animation. The end result is a fully realized scene that is believable and sophisticated.

The Gnomon Workshop – Product Design Rendering Essentials

Lighting and Shading in StudioTools with Dustin Brown
| 1,8 G | RS |

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.

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. Three-point lighting is demonstrated as an effective starting point for lighting a scene. More advanced topics such as reflected light, gobos, and optical effects are introduced. The lecture demonstrates a simple but rich three-point light setup, and then illustrates a more complex, fully realized scene, using the tools learned.
