Simply Maya Furry Yeti vol.1,2,3

Simply Maya Furry Yeti
Elearning | English | 7.8GB

The Holiday Tutorial is designed for new to intermediate Maya users. In this project you will learn how to create your own complete digital illustration from start to finish. We begin by modeling our main character, a snow yeti, by using images planes for reference and then we'll model all the basic shapes using nurbs primitives. Once we have the shape and size right, we'll convert into polygons to add detail. We will also cover converting back and forth to sub-d as well to help with shaping details. After our character is complete we switch to modeling the set using a lot of the same techniques.

You will then begin the texturing process for both. You will learn how to lay out a flat effective UV map for painting in Photoshop as well as learn how to use tools such as UV's cut and UV's sew and move. The painting of our illustration is done in Photoshop where you will learn how to build up layers of color to create cool looking skin for our yeti as well as ice for our cave. After the texturing its time to move into some Maya fur work to give our yeti some white fur to keep him warm. You will learn how to add fur to your model as well as manipulate it so it all goes in one direction. You will also play with size, length and "baldness". Finally, its time for lighting work. You will learn how to create lights, adjust their settings and add cameras to get your final composition.

Fusion: 3D Matte Painting Extractions

Choosing The Right Path For Your Project
For the last few years, there has been a popular "Buzz Word" going around the FX industry. FBX, or FilmBox file format, is a common 3d geometry format used by most of the popular 3D animation and Compositing software applications. With the advent of proper 3d tools inside of Fusion, artist's have the ability to import modeled geometry and camera data from there 3D animation programs. This allows for congruent camera animations and projection mapping inside of fusion while allowing for the ability of additional compositing and color correction at this level of the production pipeline. Learn how to decipher when FBX is the right option for your composite. - Keywords: Eyeon Fusion, Fusion 5.3, cmiVFX, Fusion Generation

Sneak Peak
We allow you to take a brief look at all your options with 3D compositing before we mix a hybrid of these methodologies in the final composite of this matte painting series. Preplan your attack based on this initial demonstration.

Projecting Your Anger
Learn how to cope with textures that were not designed for projections. Shallow angles, deep geometry, and texture distortion will nearly always propose a problem for you unless you know the proper tricks. We show you a new way to "Get Around" these types of roadblocks in your workflow, and maintain a better camera path render then traditional FBX import methods.

Speeding Your Workflow
When you work with dozens of high resolution textures containing alphas, sometimes things can slow down a bit. We show you some super easy tricks that will save you a lot of time during a scene setup and help optimize potential render times.

Deformers For Repairs
Fusion's rich 3D toolset now contains 3D geometry deformers. When working with projections, and while trying to maintain proper texture distortion, you might find yourself in need of procedural distortion to get the look you need from the render camera. We show you how to easily add deformers to help bring the odd angle of a 2.5D texture to a reasonable 3D surface texture.

Secondary Animations
Rarely do you see a tree that does not have leaves falling from it at some point. We show you how to add falling leaves in your 3D scene as well as several different methods for creating cloud movement. When it comes for the final look, we let you decide what is best for you by giving you access to a variety of methods used in digital compositing. We know that each job is different, and there is not always a right or wrong way to do the job. With the proper instruction, you will be able to decide for yourself.

Additional Information
3D Matte Painting Extractions are a now common process in the visual effects industry. The technique for matte paintings and 3d extraction have been around for years, but normally found in a 3d animation package like Maya, XSI, or Cinema 4D. Since version 5.0 of Eyeon's Fusion compositing application, 3d tools have been available to generate 3d style composites. With the latest release of Fusion, additional tools have been introduced in order to assist in the workflow of using 3d projections utilities such as the "Projector" and "Camera". As usual, we show several different methods for achieving your goals so that you can apply your learning to your own personal projects. We included a 2k matte painting with a solid plate and in 20 different layers to assist you with the time it takes to prepare your materials for the composites. There is no doubt about it, we created the perfect environment and digital assets to get you into this project no matter what path you decide. We include a project file with the new PAW projection tool in 5.3, but heavily rely on the traditional tools inside of Fusion with the other variations.

The Gnomon Workshop - Houdini 101 Interface and Workflow

Designed for the experienced 3D artist new to Houdini, this disc contains over five hours of lecture and extensive example files.

With Houdini's strong history as a high-level effects animation package, seasoned feature film effects artist Garman Herigstad helps demystify its unique procedural approach to creating animation. He introduces Houdini's interface to establish familiarity with the software, and then presents its powerful step-by-step procedural approach, which allows for great variations in results leading ultimately to a faster production workflow. Examples include driving animation with audio data, modifying geometry using moving image sequences, particle animation setup, and basic shader creation. Houdini's "Takes" versioning is also introduced. These examples can be used with the apprentice version of the software available at www.sidefx.com.

The Gnomon Workshop - Houdini Rigid Body Dynamics

Houdini's dynamics system (DOPs) is a very powerful tool that allows users to not only simulate physics, but to interact with the simulation in order to make an impossible looking effects shot look realistic.

This is what has made DOPs the dynamics software of choice for high-end feature effects in a very short time. This DVD covers the rigid body dynamics (RBD) features of Houdini, as well as the controls and forces that are common to RBD, cloth and hair systems (though cloth and hair are not covered in this DVD). Houdini’s rigid body dynamics have been used to make characters run through walls (X-Men 3), crumble to pieces (Gatorade commercial), and to make objects on a cruise ship fly around as the ship capsizes (Poseidon). This disc is a comprehensive reference, covering features in great detail through many simplified examples, as well as completed case studies of a bowling ball, dominoes, an exploding building and a crashing train.

EAT3D - OLD DAMAGED PILLAR

Section 1: Creating the High Poly Meshes
In this demonstration we go through all the steps to get a complete high res model starting from scratch. Starting from a basic box, we go into preparing geometry to take into Mudbox, Sculpting, and then back out into 3dsmax for final touch-ups...
This section includes:
- Blocking out the Basic Forms
- Preparing the Meshes for Mudbox
- Sculpting the Pillar Concrete in Mudbox
- Creating High res rebar and pipes in 3dsmax
- Final Detail Sculpting on all pieces
Duration: 1 hour 20 Minutes
Section 2: Creating the Low Poly Meshes
In this demonstration we go through creating a lowres mesh from a highres mesh. After that we go through both organic and mechanical UV mapping techniques. Then we go through generating the normal maps and other maps we will need for texturing.
This section includes:
- Reusing the high res models to make the low res
- Using PolyCruncher to get a low res Pillar from the Mudbox model
- Pelt Mapping the Pillar and using the relax tool
- Laying out the UVs in a logical order
- Using Render to Texture to get Normal, Diffuse, Ambient Occlusion, and Height maps
- Applying a Metal Bump shader to get an idea of how it will look in game
Duration: 1 hour
Section 3: Texturing and Shaders
In this demonstration we go through creating the texture maps we will use in game. Once the textures are at a good state, we take it all into Unreal and see how it looks. Once the texturing is complete we create a shader in Unreal that can tint the color of the paint, and we also give the Pillar some detail maps. The last thing we cover is placing the Pillar in a simple scene and adding lights and material variations.

What you get:
project files include:
- 1 max file with the final highpoly and lowpoly
- 1 Mudbox file with the final sculpt
- 3 .obj files; for the final low poly mesh,the high poly mesh, and the Mudbox file (useful for other 3d programs)
- 3 2048 PSDs: diffuse-spec-normal
- 2 512 PSDs: channel texture that has the mask and spec tile, and a normal map tile
- 1 unreal upk with the completed asset
- 1 unreal map file with it placed in the scene.

- Final Detail Sculpting on all pieces
Duration: 1 hour 20 Minutes
Section 2: Creating the Low Poly Meshes
In this demonstration we go through creating a lowres mesh from a highres mesh. After that we go through both organic and mechanical UV mapping techniques. Then we go through generating the normal maps and other maps we will need for texturing.
This section includes:
- Reusing the high res models to make the low res
- Using PolyCruncher to get a low res Pillar from the Mudbox model
- Pelt Mapping the Pillar and using the relax tool
- Laying out the UVs in a logical order
- Using Render to Texture to get Normal, Diffuse, Ambient Occlusion, and Height maps
- Applying a Metal Bump shader to get an idea of how it will look in game
Duration: 1 hour
Section 3: Texturing and Shaders
In this demonstration we go through creating the texture maps we will use in game. Once the textures are at a good state, we take it all into Unreal and see how it looks. Once the texturing is complete we create a shader in Unreal that can tint the color of the paint, and we also give the Pillar some detail maps. The last thing we cover is placing the Pillar in a simple scene and adding lights and material variations.
This section includes:
- Using our baked maps to start texturing
- Creating a Diffuse, Normal, and Specular map
- Testing the progress in Unreal Editor 3
- Creating a Channel Texture
- Creating a shader to be able to tint the paint
- Adding detail maps to improve the quality
- Placing the models in a scene and adding lights
Duration: 1 hour
