For virtually any dynamic effect, fields will be utilized. Fields are used to simulate natural phenomenon such as wind, turbulence and gravity. Fields can exist as independent, standalone objects, or they can be ‘emitted’ from points such as vertices and particles. By having a thorough understanding of each field’s unique qualities, one can then begin to design any dynamic effect.

Topics Covered:

Air Field
Radial Field
Drag Field
Uniform Field
Gravity Field
Turbulence Field
Vortex Field
Volume Axis Field

In this demonstration Sjoerd “Hourences” De Jong guides you through the Unreal Development Kit (UDK). Instead of giving a simple technical overview, Sjoerd uses over 10 years of personal and professional experience with Unreal Editor to create an entire exterior and interior environment from scratch. Along the way he explains many of the fundamentals about UDK and helps de-mystify many of its powerful features.

You will also learn from an Unreal Master exactly how to develop your own workflow and start making amazing environments inside UDK right now.

In this lecture, Tim breaks down the process of rendering passes out of 3ds Max and demonstrates how to composite them together in Digital Fusion. Learn how to generate many different types of passes and how they are used in production. Identify and correct commonly occurring issues, from incorrect matte edges to bit depth and color correction. Acquire an understanding of what happens under the hood inside your 3D software and how to mimic that behavior while compositing to produce the highest quality renders. Tim demonstrates his techniques using Scanline, V-Ray and Brazil.

This DVD brings you 17 tutorial videos covering all aspects of the interior process. Starting with importing a cad file, we model the apartment from it. From there, we extrude walls, build custom doors with hinges that actually open and close, custom windows that open and close, trim work, temporary cabinetry, intricate details like outlets, light switches and thermostats and more! This DVD will get you up and running and ready for DVD 2 where we will then go into each room and model the furniture!
Welcome to this, the sequel to the popular TDW:A1, also by Kris Lee. This second set of the series expands upon the finished resulting work of the previous DVD set to take the empty building and begin the process of bringing it to life.
Why is this a necessary skill for the 3d artist? Visualisation is one of the largest markets outside of the entertainment industry for 3d artists, visualisation allows architects and designers to be able to present to their client a finished representation of what it is they are going to be investing their money in, whether it is a piece of packaging through to a multifloored retail park.

MODELING METHOD.
You will learn how to set-up lights for modeling, import and use background reference images, rough in the basic shape and create a proper topological layout for animation using edge loops.
"Mastering Human Head Modeling" from 3dtutorial.com will make the process of realistic head modeling easier than you could have ever imagined.
"Mastering Human Head Modeling in XSI by FREDERIC LIERMAN" will instruct you step by step in the methods and techniques necessary for creating awesomely lifelike human characters. You will learn how to maintain proper scale and proportion that will bring real life to your characters. You will learn how to create facial details such as wrinkles, folds, subcutaneous fat and many other details that will give your 3d heads a much higher standard of realism.
Best of all this tutorial doesn’t rely on any fancy plug-ins or other tricks to get the job done, only basic tools that yield stunning results.
Not using XSI yet? Well don’t feel left out because these techniques are applicable to nearly ANY professional 3d application. Regardless of whether you currently use Maya, 3D Studio Max, Lightwave, Wings 3d or many others – these lessons will be of extreme benefit.

This new tutorial is over 5 (FIVE) HOURS long, and consists of a self-paced technical lecture comprised of 8 modules and 54 video lectures! The purpose of this series while focusing on character work is designed to demonstrate a wider range of artistic techniques, thus illustrating how important it is to have a generalist profile in a production with the ability to work within a mixed pipeline. It shows all the stages of the production of an animated shot and how intrinsically connected all the stages of the production process are. The Series starts with geometry creation and ends with final composition visiting 5 different software applications during the process including SOFTIMAGE | XSI, Wings 3D, Photoshop, Zbrush & Digital Fusion.

In this DVD, Scott Patton continues from 3D Character Design Volume 1 to show the processes he uses to create finished character designs for feature films. This DVD explores Patton’s fast and efficient methods for creating a final color rendering using ZBrush® and Photoshop®. Patton shows how he squeezes the most from ZBrush’s powerful renderer, side-stepping the often complex renderers of standard 3D packages. In creating both a wide and close-up shot of the character, he shares creative Photoshop tips and tricks to quickly get to a finished piece of concept art from the ZBrush renders, covering topics such as adding and refining skin texture, hair, eyes, shadows and scars. Patton also discusses how to quickly create backgrounds that enhance the character and overall composition.
