The Gnomon Workshop - Multi-Pass Compositing 3ds Max

14 - Multi-Pass Compositing 3ds Max (Video files only)

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.

Kurv Studios | LightWave 3D 9 Rigging The Definitive Guide

We have been trying to get Larry Shultz to cover all of his traditional rigging techniques for over a year now.
With the LightWave 3D 9 coming out Larry wanted to wait to see what new tools Newtek would add or change in LightWave 3D 9.Larry has been hired by professional studios such as Warner Brothers, and Foundation Imaging (Ron Thorton) to create easily animatable characters using rigs exactly like the training on this DVD.Finally someone demystifies the process and shows you the do's and don'ts and most importantly why!
Most users have read online about the rigging process, now finally there is some formal training available to LightWave 3D users.In this video Larry not only shows you tricks to speed up the rigging process by using a proxy rig but he also covers every aspect of the 12 fundamentals of rigging.

EAT3D | Old Damaged Pillar




http://eat3d.com/training_videos/pillar

Old Damaged Pillar

In this demonstration the instructor takes you through the entire process of creating a next gen 3d model starting from scratch and ending inside Unreal Editor 3.

This DVD is targeted for both professionals and students.As a professional you will be able to learn efficient ways to keep your models high quality when it comes time to ship the game. As a student you will become exposed to professional techniques in the game industry.

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.
Download Filesize: 1.1 GB

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.
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

Programs used:
3dsmax Mudbox Photoshop UnrealEditor 3D
uration: 210 Minutes (3 1/2 hours)

Graphisoft ArchiCAD 12

ArchiCAD is an architectural BIM CAD software for Macintosh and Windows developed by the Hungarian company Graphisoft.

Development started in 1982 for the original Apple Macintosh, and it became a popular product for that platform. It is recognized as the first CAD product on a personal computer able to create both 2D and 3D drawings. Today more than 100,000 architects are using it in the building design industry.

ArchiCAD allows the user to work with data-enhanced parametric objects, often called "smart objects" by users. This differs from the operational style of other CAD programs created in the 1980s. The product allows the user to create a "virtual building" with virtual structural elements like walls, slabs, roofs, doors, windows and furniture. A large variety of pre-designed, customizable objects come with the program.

Archicad allows the user to work with either a 2D or 3D representation on the screen. Two-dimensional drawings can be exported at any time, even though the model in the program's database always stores data in three dimensions. Plans, elevations, and sections are generated from the three dimensional virtual building model and are constantly updated. Detail drawings are based on enlarged portions of the model, with 2D detail added in.

Third-party vendors and some manufacturers of architectural products have compiled libraries of architectural components for use in ArchiCAD. The program includes Geometric Description Language (GDL) used to create new components.

The newest version (2008) is ArchiCAD 12.

ArchiCAD can import and export DWG, DXF IFC and SketchUp files among others. Graphisoft is an active member of the International Alliance for Interoperability (IA), an industry organization that publishes standards for file and data interoperability for architectural CAD.
