Luxology Modo - Shadertree Essentials Training Video

Luxology Modo - Shadertree Essentials Training Video
MOV | 1280 x 720 | 3h 26min | 899 MB
Gender: elearning

If you use modo for rendering, any time you put into learning the power of the Shadertree is well spent. In this three part video tutorial series, Ryan Drue of Luxology delves into the Shadertree while creating three beauty shots.
Each of the three images created in these instructional videos present their own challenges but they all share one thing - each makes extensive use of the Shadertree in modo 401. Working with supplied models and images, the videos will guide you through the thought processes and mechanics of increasing the visual sophistication of the final image in a step-by-step fashion. By watching and listening to Ryan explain his expert approach to getting the most out of the Shadertree, each of the three supplied videos will deepen your knowledge of this critical part of modo.

Video Part 01 – Game Controller Product Shot

This video guides you through the creation of a final product shot from a supplied model. The almost stark white on white scene makes every tweak and nuance of the final “beauty pass” image highly visible. The approach in this video is to simulate (to some extent) studio lighting techniques and to use Photoshop to perform image post-processing on separate render outputs.

Topics covered include:

* Lighting a scene with luminous polygons
* Environment and Camera settings to “sell it”
* Adding and duplicating materials
* Instancing materials
* Controlling highlights
* Blurry reflections
* Subsurface scattering
* Visibility settings
* Use of image maps in lieu of modeling
* Subsurface scattering
* Gamma correction
* Ambient occlusion to add edge detail
* Preview Renderer

Video Part 02 – Notebook Computer Product Shot

This second video in the series is a step-by-step creation of a final product shot from a pre-built model of a notebook computer. Particularly challenging areas are creating the brushed aluminum material, achieving a realistic screen reflection, and making the keys “pop” in the scene.

Topics covered include:

* Shadertree organization
* Multiple environments
* Control over reflection
* Use of light probe
* Leveraging render outputs in Photoshop (e.g. colorization)
* Global illumination
* Anti-aliasing settings
* ShadowCatcher to capture ground shadows
* Adding directional lights
* Render region
* Noise elimination via render settings
* Gamma control

Video Part 03 – Riverbed Nature Scene

This final video in the series has as its subject a natural, organic setting. The scene is depicted at early morning, with nearly still water running down the stream and a colored mist rising from the wet ground. Scene complexity is radically increased at render time via the extensive use of modo Replicators for rocks and leaves.

Topics covered include:

* Physically-based sunlight as environment
* Shadow parameter adjustment
* Boundary box mode to maintain interactivity
* Group and Layer masks
* Extensive use of image maps across scene with tiling
* Creating water
* Using Gradients and Weight maps to drive where rocks are replicated on streambed
* Achieving mossy look on rocks
* Stencil maps
* Subsurface scattering
* Gamma correction
* Instance Replicators
* Mist effect via Volumetric lighting

cmiVFX - Cinema 4D Ultimate Learning System Volume 6

English | AVC1 1286x722 | MP3 128 Kbps | 6.52 GB
Genre: eLearning

This video was created to help extend the tool sets of standard Cinema 4D artists to encompass one of the most popular software modules on the planet, Mograph and Modynamics. cmiVFX breaks down each tool one by one with fast and easy chapter references designed for even faster muscle memory. cmiVFX continues to deliver the training and content you need, quickly, efficient and affordably. When it comes to high end CG and VFX training, there is only once choice... cmiVFX! This video is available today at the cmiVFX store for a Special Introductory Price!

The Cloner Object, Our New Best Friend
Take a look at the cloner object in each of its four different forms; examine the basic parameters and the way the cloner object creates its clones. The cloner object is one of the primary tools utilized in the Mograph module and can be integrated with every other tool within the module. Understanding its basic functions is crucial to working with and understanding the others

Intro to Effectors
Take a broad look at each of the different effectors. Effectors are used to control and animate position, scale, and rotation parameters and can be used to control any object with an effectors tab (the majority of the Mograph objects). Their ability to control more than one object (multiple cloner objects for example) allows for complex animation with very little set up.

Intro to Modynamics[/b]
A favorite aspect of the Mograph 2 module, Modynamics allows for complex rigid-body dynamic simulations that can be set-up instantly and adjusted infinitely. Modynamics can simulate from dominoes falling to glass shattering with unparalleled ease and speed. A breakdown of the basic setup and a couple of examples will get you on your way to creating phenomenal dynamics.

The Other Objects
Learn more about other objects including the Matrix, Text, Fracture, and Instance Objects. Explore the differences and similarities of the Matrix and Cloner objects as well as how to use them in tandem. Mograph's Text Object is an incredibly powerful way to generate text which the spline text tool simply cannot contend with. The Fracture Object allows for animated (or dynamic) deconstruction and separation of polygonal objects and the instance objects is great for creating trails of objects.

Mograph's Spline Tools
The spline tools offered by Mograph are examined briefly here with a basic overview of their creation and a couple of ideas for using them. They are extremely useful for creating splines from motion (creating spline trails from each vertex of a moving object for instance) or for generating organic and repetitive splines that can be cloned and even effected by forces or dynamics.

Mograph's Deformation Tools
The deformation objects allow for extremely powerful deformations of any object. From the displace deformer, which creates visible (in the viewport) deformations based on shader channels to the spline wrap, which can align or stretch objects along a spline. These tools create very easy shortcuts to problems that would have needed to involve much more complex solutions otherwise.

3DATS: Practical Exterior Lighting in V-Ray

Video Training | HF | 360Mb


Having covered the vast majority of the important V-Ray features and settings in modules 1 through 8, students are shown how to apply many of things discussed in earlier modules, to a real exterior scene created by 3DAS. In this module, students are shown numerous different lighting and rendering approaches including irradiance maps, light cache, QMC, HDRIs, progressive path tracing, the V-Ray physical camera and the VRay Sun. The instructor describes the process that he would go through to light and render this scene from scratch, and then describes some of the other ways that you might want to approach your scenes based on what the final deliverable, the time you have available, and problems that you might encounter along the way. Throughout the module, students are shown how to deal with the myriad of problems that may arise in any scene, such as splotches, noise, flickering GI, strange dots, running out of memory, excessive render times, system crashes, lack of detail and so on. The goal of this module is to teach students how to achieve the highest quality renderings in the shortest amount of rendering time.

High-end Industry Retouching Techniques Video

High-end Industry Retouching Techniques Video | 3.3GB | English | RS | HF | ULD

As you already know, the high end retouching industry has been very tight lipped about the techniques they use to produce world class results for magazines, advertising campaigns, displays and billboards throughout the world.

The only techniques that have been readily available to the public have been the so called “smooth or soft skin” methods that simply blur or smudge the skin texture into an unrealistic plastic doll mess.

This DVD-ROM contains the information you have been seeking but could not find. Your host Vitaly Druchinin, high end photographer and retoucher reveals all, first by thoroughly explaining to you how to apply Photoshop tools and functions specifically for retouching. Then hold on to your chair as Vitaly puts you front and center in front of his monitor as he retouches a beauty image captured with the Hasselblad H3D 39 Megapixel camera from start to finish, explaining every step and decision along the way. You will see first hand how to masterfully manipulate your images without destroying even a single pore of your model’s skin.

3DS MAX and VIZ for Architects

Module 1 - Starting

This first module contains 70 high resolution videos running 2.9 hours overall. I explain each concept and technique using 3ds Max 8 and/or VIZ 2007, which are essentially the same program (VIZ is a streamlined version of Max). The videos are captured right off my screen and you can hear my audio commentary.

You'll learn about the user interface and how to customize it, setting units properly, saving a prototype, creating and transforming objects, how to manage, display, and navigate within viewports, how to select like a pro, manage layers, control object display, and how to use grid, snap, and autosnap productively.

Due to the subject matter, this module focuses more on essential concepts, rather than on tutorials that have you building things--you'll work on projects in later modules once you have solid foundation skills.



Module 2 - Basic Modeling

This module contains 79 high resolution videos running 4.2 hours overall. I explain each concept and technique using 3ds Max 8 and/or VIZ 2007, which are essentially the same program (VIZ is a streamlined version of Max). The videos are captured right off my screen and you can hear my audio commentary.

You'll learn geometric essentials: how to work with pivot points, reference coordinate systems, transform centers, cloning, the array and mirror tools, plus you'll gain valuable alignment skills.

The module includes two mini projects where you'll apply what you learn by modeling two chairs - one with primitives and the other using modifiers. Additional topics include grouping, modifier essentials, parametric modifiers, free form deformations, selection and transform modifiers.

The order that the topics are introduced is carefully planned to deliver concepts just as you need them, making 3ds Max & VIZ modeling techniques much easier to comprehend.



Module 3 - Advanced Modeling

This module contains 138 high resolution videos running 8.8 hours overall. I explain each concept and technique using 3ds Max 8, Max 9 and/or VIZ 2007. The videos are captured right off my screen and you can hear my audio commentary.

Learn how to model almost anything you can imagine with this module. Here you'll gain advanced modeling skills that empower you to sculpt splines, patches, mesh and polygonal geometry, NURBS, and AEC objects into the myriad forms of real world architectural objects.

Numerous tutorials take you step by step through the creation of many object types including: custom made walls, windows, and doors, plus pottery, light fixtures, moldings, chairs, tables, curtains, sinks, stairs, railings, landforms, rocks, roads, 3D logos, and mechanical objects.

See how compound objects are more than the sum of their parts and how you can even use 3ds Max (not possible in VIZ) to realistically depict 3D fabrics and tensile membranes (garment maker, cloth, and HSDS modifiers), grass (particle flow or hair and fur), and simulate real world physical interactions between objects under the pull of gravity (with reactor).



Module 4 - Texturing

This module contains 104 high resolution videos running 7.0 hours overall. I explain each concept and technique using Max 9 and/or VIZ 2007. The videos are captured right off my screen and you can hear my audio commentary.

Learn how to use the material editor, browser, palettes, and navigator to craft realistic looking textures. This module will teach you everything you need to know to master materiality in 3ds Max and VIZ.

Numerous step by step tutorials walk you through complex concepts such as shaders, material components, maps, mapping channels, and assigning texture coordinates. Learn how to store alpha channels in your bitmaps and use them to create convincing image-based architectural entourage such as trees, plants, people, and cars.

You'll see how to scatter leaves within a volume to simulate shrubbery, use particle flow to simulate multicolored foliage in Max, raise surface relief with bump, displacement, and normal mapping, map reflection and refraction, create translucent effects, transmit light through substances, map and model the environment, review scanline and compound material types, and much more.



Module 5 - Rendering

This module contains 72 high resolution videos running 6.9 hours overall. I explain each concept and technique using Max 9 and/or VIZ 2007. The videos are captured right off my screen and you can hear my audio commentary.

Bring your geometry and materials to life by learning to control cameras, light, shadow, atmosphere and mood in your 3D scenes. This module will teach you the fundamentals needed to gain mastery of rendering in 3ds Max and VIZ.

Numerous step by step tutorials walk you through essential concepts such as daylight, skylight, photometric luminaires, shadow casting, depth of field, motion blur, 2-point perspective, volume light, lens effects, interactive panoramas and virtual reality models. Learn how to accelerate your rendering times by optimizing scanline, raytracer, and radiosity renderers.

You'll pick up advanced techniques such as simulating color bleeding quickly with dome lighting, creating clay renderings with skylight/light tracer and also with ambient occlusion, illuminating scenes with image based lighting (IBL), working with high dynamic range (HDR) imagery, plus learn essential workflows in mental ray, and in V-Ray.
