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 | 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.

Gnomon Workshop: Image Based Modeling : Advance

Gnomon Workshop: Image Based Modeling : Advance

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.

In this second in a two DVD series, Gil continues to develop Francis' and Paulo's designs into full-body orthographic and 3/4 views. The demonstration finally culminates in a ?look and feel? master shot posing the fighters in an alley behind Paulo's butcher shop. In the process, Gil reinforces the key principles from the first DVD: dynamic silhouettes, rhythms, graphic design and composition. He then explores the design brief further, introducing unique lighting approaches, shadow and light relationships, larger composition fundamentals, color treatments to complement the mood, and applying textures, atmosphere and visual effects to enhance the final result.

In this DVD, Gil Rimmer simultaneously develops two characters, Francis and Paulo, who are classic

pugilists in a fictional turn of the century metropolis. This first in a two DVD series focuses on creating the faces and heads of the two fighters, using dynamic silhouettes, rhythms, graphic design and composition principles. Gil stresses the various visual relationships within individual characters while addressing the complementary relationship between the two fighters. Through a methodical process, beginning with a design brief followed by reference gathering, through traditional approaches to silhouette design and ending on detailed ortho- graphic views and expression sheets, Gil shares his thoughts about the design process and its place in the animation production pipeline.
