"Introduction to Blade Sharpening" was filmed in California and is a comprehensive guide to sharpening, complete with all the "bells and whistles." In this information-packed DVD over 2 hours in length, Murray explains what you need to become an expert.

In this tutorial we will learn about the essential lighting tools and features found in Maya. Understanding how the various lighting tools in Maya work and behave is a very important skill for anyone who is getting started with this 3D application. In this Maya lighting tutorial, we will discuss the different types of 3D lights found in Maya, and methods for easily aiming and controlling your lights. We will also explore some of the specialized attributes found in certain light types, we will discuss the different types of shadows available in Maya, we will see how we can add depth and mood to our scenes though the use of volumetric light rays, as well as many other lighting tools and concepts that will help you establish a solid foundation in Maya.

In this Maya modeling tutorial, we will get an introductory look at the modeling process in Maya. We will use a project-based approach as we cover the basics of modeling, look at commonly used tools, and talk about some time-saving tips and techniques gleaned from production experience. We will begin by looking at the various types of geometry available to you and how you can actually convert between those different types. You will learn how to organize your model into hierarchies and keep your scene clean and efficient. We will also take a look at several modeling tools, including polygonal tools like extrude and the insert edge loop tool for adding resolution, NURBS tools like loft and extrude to create smooth surfaces, and a few subd tools as well. We will take a look at using a smoothing or subdivision workflow and use deformers to help shape our models. We are going to take a slightly different approach to this introduction course, in that we are not going to talk about all of the Maya modeling tools, but rather focus on the tools that you are going to find most useful as you begin the modeling process. Once you have a better understanding of how these tools work together, you will be able to create your own modeling solutions and really come up with a workflow that is comfortable to you.

In this series of lessons, we will be taking an introductory look at RealFlow 2012 and many of the key features of this robust fluid simulation software. It is important to develop good workflow habits early in your RealFlow education, so we will start by learning the importance of properly setting up your RealFlow projects as well as how to efficiently move around within the RealFlow interface. From there, we will learn how to start working with RealFlow fluid particles learning about the important attributes that affect particle behavior, as well as how we can use daemons to add dynamic forces such as wind, gravity, and air resistance to our simulations. Another critical concept to understand within RealFlow is the importance of scale. We will teach you how to properly compensate for real-world scale within RealFlow, ensuring that your liquids and other dynamics behave correctly. We will also take time to explore some of the powerful new features found in RealFlow 2012, including dynamic object fracturing, using the Retiming function to quickly add time-warping and slow-motion effects to our RealFlow simulations, as well as many other important tools and critical concepts that you will need to be aware of whenever starting out in RealFlow

In this collection of lessons we will learn the fundamental tools, techniques and workflows for InDesign CS5. It can safely be said that InDesign has established a firm grasp on the graphics Industry, excelling with ease in the area of print design. However, in this day and age of the ebook and other electronic publications, InDesign has truly helped pave the way. In this course, we will begin at square one and get you up and running quickly. We will explore the interface together and learn how InDesign sees various types of files, text and graphics. Once we have the basics down, we will begin to harness the power of InDesign by learning about things like styles, color management and print preparation. After completing this course, you will have built a solid foundation of knowledge using this industry leading layout application.

F # is Microsoft's first functional programming language to be included as one of Visual Studio's official set of languages. F # is a succinct, efficient, expressive functional / object-oriented programming language under joint development by Microsoft Developer Division and Microsoft Research. During the course of Erik Meijer's fantastic lecture series on functional programming fundamentals Several of you asked for examples of specific topics in F #. Well, we Listened. Dr. Don Syme is a principal researcher in MSR Cambridge. He has a rich history in programming language research, design, and implementation (C # generics being one of his most Implementations Recognized), and is the principle creator of F #. Who better to lecture on the topic than Don? This three part series will serve as an introduction to F #, Including insights into the rationale behind the history and creation of Microsoft's newest language
