In this DVD, Instructor Matt Skonicki takes you through the entire process of compositing 2 HD Shots with 3D integration. The best part of this tutorial is it uses Autodesk Composite for compositing which ships free with Autodesk Maya 2011.
Matt starts off by taking you On Location to demonstrate the capturing of the raw plate and HDRI images. From there he goes through creating the final HDRI image in Photoshop. The next chapters include detailed tracking in SynthEyes, setting up the scene in Maya, creating masks in After Effects, Animation of the 3D objects in Maya, adding particle effects, lighting, and render layers. Last, Matt composites the final scenes in Autodesk Composite.

Creating a Fantasy Landscape is a tutorial that contains a lot of NURBS modeling so you will learn how to work with isoparms, hulls, CVпїЅs, lofting surfaces and MayaпїЅs curve tools. This is a fast way to generate a lot of geometry in a scene which is then converted to polygons for adding details
and refining the models.

In this series of lessons, we will discuss different methods for simulating the effect of caustic patterns created by moving water.

The course also explains how to color-correct and post-process 3D type in Camera RAW. Exercise files accompany the course.

In this class Phil Holland will go over shooting and accurately processing high dynamic range (HDR) images for live action visual effects and creative print use. He'll be covering photographing the images, constructing the final HDR image with off-the-shelf software and preparing 360 degree spherical HDR images for visual effects and image-based lighting use. Phil will also be sharing and discussing the techniques and camera rigs he has created for use on movie sets and in post-production houses over the last several years.

In this collection of lessons we will learn tips an techniques for creating believable facial animations.
This course will cover the process of animating a face in Maya. We will build the animation step by step, covering time-saving and proficient techniques like smart blocking, using a checklist, how to work with reference, checking for arcs. We will even cover what to do when we encounter issues where an expression that was not anticipated calls for the control rig to be revised. By the end of this course, you we will be equipped with the knowledge you need to build your own facial animations that are convincing and entertaining.

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.

I see several months that virtual dj is posted with a load of viruses and see that quite a lot of enthusiasm for this great program.
Did this program again by the additional virus scanner persuaded almost sure that I post something which is virus-free.
I use this program for almost half a year before making my DJ mixes also look under Lowy.
Read the instructions posted in it must no problem the program running smoothly get.
I do not give further support because the instructions are clear enough.

Step into 3D
Our first Maya tutorial introduces the essential concepts of computer graphics using the industry’s most popular animation program, Maya. You begin by getting to know the user interface and learning your way around the basic processes of 3D design. Once you’re comfortable in Maya, you’ll learn how the professional production pipeline builds from wireframe modeling to final pass. At the end of the course you will have a good understanding of the fundamentals of 3D. You’ll know how to use the fundamental tools of Maya and be ready to begin creating your own 3D objects and environments.

In this 3ds Max tutorial, we will discuss the improved workflows and tools that 3ds Max has to offer in the UV Editor. Then we'll discuss the different projection map types and some possible situations of when to use the correct map type. We'll learn how to use the powerful UV mapping tools like Stitch, Relax, Flatten Mapping, Target Welding, and Break. UV mapping is going to be essential for anyone who loves 3d modeling because it's going to allow us to create our very own custom textures to apply to our 3d models.
