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.

Ken Fountain – Animating a Basic Acting Shot

Beginner | 3h 18m | 1.98 GB | Project Files n/a | Required Software: Autodesk Maya

In this 3-hour video lecture/demo, follow DreamWorks Animator Ken Fountain’s process for analyzing and animating a simple, clear and appealing acting performance.
With a presentation geared toward the more advanced animator looking to create a great test shot for their demo reel, Ken let’s you look over his shoulder as he chooses audio, examines the character’s “subtext,” plans his staging, breaks down video reference, works out timing and “attitude” through thumbnailing, uses detailed blocking to define clear acting beats, controls and shapes the scene’s “phrasing,” adds texture to enhance the energy, sculpts the lipsync, and brings a shot to a polished final.
