Instructor:
Scott ROBERTSON

On this last of three DVDs in the Matte Surface rendering series, Scott shares with you the complex curved surface shading techniques he has been teaching for over a decade. He explains a logical and technical approach to assigning values to simple curved panels. Using Nupastel chalk and Vertithin-Prismacolor pencils, he shows various lighting strategies you can use to light and render complex curved surfaces of your own design. The curved surface examples increase in complexity by the end of the DVD, when the cover piece is rendered from start to finish. Finally, Scott demonstrates several quick vehicle value sketches, employing all of the knowledge learned from this series. This DVD is intended as a “must-watch” for beginners ready to take their skills to the next level, as well as a solid foundation for the more experienced artist/designer.

These words were spoken by the father of popular photography and the inventor of multiple camera systems and motion-picture film. And yet today, most photography magazines, blogs and social media focus almost exclusively on the gear—and almost never on the thought process. Nick Saglimbeni knows that the key to creating a powerful image is understanding light. As a successful commercial photographer who teaches lighting workshops across the globe, Nick has heard countless stories from aspiring artists of their frustrations with lighting. They see the vision in their heads, but they have no idea how to get there. Nick wanted to create a lighting tutorial, but he wouldn’t move forward unless he could find a way to teach visual concepts in an innovative and engaging way. To accomplish his vision, Saglimbeni teamed up with feature-film VFX artist, Raffael Dickreuter (Iron Man, Man of Steel, Avengers: Age of Ultron) to create this groundbreaking learning experience—one that sets a new bar for photography education. As a trained cinematographer, Nick knew that motion-picture and photography go hand-in-hand: one could be used to engage the viewer while teaching the other.

In this course you'll learn advanced rendering and vector techniques, including creating and using custom sprayer brushes, using gradient meshes to render shapes and objects, using gradients and other interactive tools to render objects, and using textures and text to add quick details to an illustration. You will primarily use basic shapes to build a digital still-life scene, allowing you to focus more on lighting and shadow and less on drawing. You will learn how to balance your design with a harmonious color palette and play around with composition. In the end, you'll have illustrated a still life that's completely made up, but retains a semi-realistic feel and is a great jumping-off point for advancing your digital illustration skill set.

“Neubau Welt” is an extensive encyclopedia of 1333 high definition vector illustrations of everyday objects and obsessions large and small. They were created by designer Stefan Gandl and his Neubau team. The NBW Data Archive contains all objects of the “Neubau Welt” print edition plus additional vector sets (previously only available as extended single sheets) as editable EPS-Files (i.e.: Adobe Illustrator).

Reminiscent of a digital Letraset, “Neubau Welt” contains everything any designer could possibly need but couldn’t find. Unlike ClipArt, the smorgasbord of objects are editable and can be enlarged indefinitely. This also makes them extremely useful for architects and other creatives, who can integrate them into their presentations and visual models.

In this After Effects tutorial, we’re going to composite an animated end tag for a fictitious product.

We’ll get an exclusive look at the creative process and reasoning behind compositing using render elements from V-Ray in Maya and the physical renderer in CINEMA 4D. We’ll learn how to get the most out of them in an After Effects linear space compositing pipeline using proven advanced techniques from professional, real world scenarios.

By the end of this After Effects training, you’ll have a range of new tips and tricks to be able to use in your own projects.
