SIMPLYMAYA COM INTERIOR SCENE MODELING-W3D [Maya]

SIMPLYMAYA.COM.INTERIOR.SCENE.MODELING-W3D [Maya]

The Living room tutorial is intended for intermediate Maya users. You will begin by setting up your reference image on an image plane and then start modeling the set, using both polygons and nurbs to block the correct shape, and size of the objects. Some of the tools used in the modeling section cover extrude face, cut face tool and split polygon to name a few. After the modeling section is complete we will switch gears and get into UV layouts, which is taking all the modeled geometry and converting it to a flat pintable map to apply textures on them in a painting program. You will learn how to assign color to the geometry to make planar maps as well as tools like move and sew uv's.

Texturing begins after all the uv's are laid out and have a flat map for painting. In a paint program you will learn how to use layers as well as many of the painting options to achieve the correct colors and textures of the objects in your scene. After we get the correct colors on our set we will start to add lights so we can see and understand how both textures and light affect each other. In this part of the tutorial you will learn texturing techniques like bump/spec maps, as well as how to use some of the built in shaders in Maya.

We then cover lots of different lights such as making a main light and fill light. After we have achieved a nice look on both our textures and first few lights we will start adding more light sources to really add all the true highlights and shadows. These light details will be done by using more point lights with decay as well some negative lights to fake shadows in certain areas which will be light-linked to only certain geometry. In the last few sections we go a bit more into the bump map for the sofa as well as creating a Paint effects tree for the final rendering.

Making Of : Pirates Of The Caribbean - The Making Of At Worlds End

Pirates Of The Caribbean - The Making Of At Worlds End

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is a 2007 adventure film, the third film in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. The plot follows the crew of the Black Pearl rescuing Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), from Davy Jones’ Locker, and then preparing to fight the East India Trading Company, led by Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander) and Davy Jones (Bill Nighy), who plan to extinguish piracy. Gore Verbinski directed the film, as he did with the previous two. It was shot in two shoots during 2005 and 2006, the former simultaneously with the preceding film, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.

The film was released in English-speaking countries on May 24, 2007 after Disney decided to move the release date to a day earlier than originally planned. Critical reviews were mixed, but At World’s End was a box office hit, becoming the most successful film of 2007, grossing approximately $960 million worldwide, and making it the second most successful in the series, behind Dead Man’s Chest. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Makeup and the Academy Award for Visual Effects.

Gnomon Maya Training Deformers 1-3

Gnomon Workshop Maya Training Deformers 1-3 | 12.7 GB

Deformers are intuitive and interactive tools used to sculpt surfaces into new shapes, circumventing the need to edit vertices one-by-one. Maya offers a large suite of unique deformers which can be used in conjuction with each other to yield complex effects. Whether you are rigging a character or designing a crashing wave, a thorough understanding of Maya’s deformers is crucial. Simple mistakes made early on can cause big problems down the road.

Clusters and Blendshape are two indispensible deformers which you will find yourself relying on over and over again. Clusters allow you to apply transform node functionality to multiple vertices, while Blendshape is a morphing tool. We examine the application of these deformers to NURBS, Polygons and Subdivision surfaces (including NURBS patch models), with a focus on higher-level workflow techniques.

Gnomon Maya Training Deformers 2: Sculpt, Lattice And Wrap | 4.2 GB

Sculpt deformers are spherical objects which create rounded deformations. They can be used to simulate effects such as liquid pumping through tubes, or a character chewing and swallowing food. Lattice and Wrap deformers are unique in how they allow you to deform surfaces with low-res shapes. The potential uses are therefore quite varied: a high-res NURBS patch-model can have facial expressions designed using just 40 points, a character can be animated squeezing itself through a keyhole, a dynamic simulation can have its performance quadrupled, and so on. This lecture addresses several examples with a focus on workflow and application.

Gnomon Maya Training Deformers 3: Wire, Wrinkle And Jiggle | 4.1 GB

Wires and Wrinkles are curve deformers, which are useful as both sculpting and effects tools. While a wire can be used to reshape or animate a character’s brow, they can also be used to create ripples, ocean swells or burrowing creatures.

Jiggle deformers are unique in that they do not deform surfaces via direct user manipulation. Their purpose is to create automated secondary shape animation (inertia-driven follow through). For example, a character’s thighs can exhibit the correct amount of wobble as he walks or a bird’s feathers can react naturally to the flapping of its wings. In this lecture we also discuss the pros and cons of Jiggle deformers vs Softbody dynamics.

Gnomon Workshop : Gnomon Workshop - Character Animation: Mechanics And Emotion

Gnomon Workshop : Gnomon Workshop - Character Animation: Mechanics And Emotion | 610.44 MB

This is Chris's second lecture in a series on character animation using Maya. Using the same character rig as in Character Animation: Fundamentals, Chris leads you down the twin paths of successful character animation: mechanics and emotion. Conjoining believable motion with believable acting is the holy grail of animation, and this duality is demonstrated by animating the bouncing man. Chris covers appealing poses, believable weight distribution, activation of limbs, use of gesture to demonstrate attitude, the aura of the character and effective utilization of the stage.

Gnomon Workshop - Drawing Dinosaurs: Anatomy and Sketching with David Krentz

Gnomon Workshop - Drawing Dinosaurs: Anatomy and Sketching with David Krentz | 6 GB

Many of us drew dinosaurs when we were kids. Dinosaurs are beasts of paradox. They inhabited the world between monster and animal, imagination and science. For many, dinosaurs were the introduction to understanding the natural world. It is not surprising that many of the world’s leading paleontologists started out as artists themselves. In this DVD, David conveys a strong understanding of dinosaur anatomy mixed with the sheer joy of giving life, personality and motion to these inspiring creatures. He covers a wide range of topics from skeletal structures and muscles, to range of motion and the essential gestures of various body types. David focuses on capturing these elements in the form of quick sketches of both herbivorous and carnivorous dinosaurs.

Digital Matte Painting - Techniques Tutorials and Walk-Throughs - Bass.T | 2004 | PDF | 94 pages | 10.26 MB

Being in love with the art of Matte Painting, I collected these tutorials over one year from numerous onlineresources and eventually compiled them into this document. Originally intended for personal use only, I thought that maybe some people out there might be interested too, so I deceided to relase them to the public. No big thing, and defenitely nothing new â€“ I just gathered these tutorials to have them all in one place. And if any â€“ or all â€“ of these tutorials happen to be new to you â€“ even better! A great thanks goes out to all the artist who put a lot of their time and energy into the creation of these tutorials. Happy painting
