If you use the tool before I could think, in line with a lot of mirroring bones, but not much in line with the mapping criteria, about
1 . Binding is not our binding, bone setting is a mirror, but may have been adjusted, the tool does not meet the entry requirements, the new features can be solved,
2. The tool begins to meet the requirements, but the requirements mirror those changes, we move the frame. But it is necessary to change the new bone then you can solve this asymmetry
3. In addition to the above actions can be passed to the bone.

uRTS Toolkit helps to create playable RTS genre games and ease their development in multiple ways.

Battles. The toolkit allow to set up RTS battles environment for various scales - from several hundreds in mobile scenes up to several thousands for large scale games. uRTS uses highly performance optimised coroutines to run smoothly various phases of battles (target search, move, attack, etc.) in live time. Thanks to this, battles looks realistic, with every single unit doing its job. Asset also brings multiple nations to be set in the game.

4 AIs system, responsible for high level economical, military and diplomatic decisions and its balance

3D Sprites bring big advantage in terms of using large number of animated 3d models. These 2d sprite sheets are created within Unity from single 3d model, exposed from different angles. Sprites are changing based on view from camera, what brings 3d illusion. Models with millions of polygons can be used to achieve better realism in the game. Based on Shuriken Particle System 3dSprites can easily render several thousands of animated sprites at individual single unit level.

GUI integration allows to set up menus and buttons, which players use to play the game. A set of building and unit models allows to build a town with some basic functionalities. Resource system allows to set and use resources on terrain as well as economy. Forest generator with near-realistic L-System tree models creates naturally looking environment with forest and meadows.

Features:

- Unity 5 support
- Up to 3000 - 4000 units battles at playable FPS
- "From start to death" phases setup
- Diplomacy
- Realistic archery
- 3dSprites
- Save and Load gameplay
- Mobile input
- Resources and Economy system
- High level AI decision system

Join comic artist George Folz for a class exploring the essentials of webcomics- from digitially establishing a perspective grid and creating printable blue-lines, to pencilling, inking, lettering, and ultimately, digital coloring. Recently George has been working on his project, http://disciplinegeorgejurard.tumblr.com, where he sketched a scene from one of the original Star Wars trilogy movies every day for a year and he will take you on a journey into this process with this class.
Learn how to take a still from your favorite movie and create an original comic scene. You will select your frame, learn to sketch your idea and digitize that sketch into a comic drawing. You will then learn various inking techniques to refine your drawing, and learn George’s expert digital rendering and coloring style.
This class is ideal for comic artists looking to flex their muscles on a cool project or experts looking for some new techniques to try. All you need is an excitement for sketching and a favorite movie to recreate!

In this course we will going to cover some of the basic features that will help you to get started with 3D modeling using Blender.

We will going to start from the very basic like how to navigate then we will look how we can how to select & Transform Objects, and next how we can Add & Remove Objects using different panels and keyboard shortcuts that will help you in your 3d modeling

We will go through how we can smartly use the Interface that will help you in complex 3d modeling tasks.

Then we will move forward to some basics of 3d we will see different Mesh Selection Modes.

After that we will start to look on different tools that are most commonly used in 3d modeling like Subdivide Tool, Extrude Tool, Loop Cut & Slide, Inset Tool, Bevel Tool, Knife Tool and how Delete & Dissolve works.

If you don’t know 3D modeling or you are a beginner in this field so this course is for you.

What are the requirements?
*Students don’t need to do anything as a prerequisite for this course because we will start from scratch and we will be downloading Blender in the introductory video.

What am I going to get from this course?
*Over 15 lectures and 1.5 hours of content!*Use Blender and all of its basic tools*Select and change the objects transform.*Add and remove objects. Use the interface smartly.*Get to know different Mesh Selection Modes.*Cut the face using subdivide tool.*Add duplicate face using Extrude Tool.*Create depth in 3d objects using Inset face Tool.*Smooth shapes with Bevel Tool.*Cut the Face with Knife Tool.*Cut the face using Loop Cut & Slide tool.

If you’ve never explored how lip syncing is done in Toon Boom Animate, this is an essential lesson. This 90 minute course is split into two parts and teaches various techniques for ‘cut out animation’ style lip syncing. The tutorial discusses the difference between using drawing substitutions and symbols in regards to lip syncing, and teaches how to sync up a character during a turn around pose. In this package you also get a fully rigged character, setup up for talking, and 4 more Animate example files used in the tutorial. By the end of it, you’ll probably agree Animate has some amazing audio features!

TEN24 BLENDER SCENE MODEL UPDATE & MACRO GEOMETRY DISPLACEMENT

The Ten24 blender skin shader scene model was not cleaned up nicely and the SubD level 6 detail from the ZTool has reasonable detail but lacks the high level of detail that is gained by high resolution macro scanning of the skin surface. Using the defuse texture and pushing it through various filters and finally a high pass I managed to generate a detailed bump map that I then put through Knald as a height map to generate a concavity map.

Then in ZBrush I deleted all the SubD levels leaving me with the base low poly model. I then re-sub devided the model to level 7 giving me 34.597 million poly's (This high level is important so we can sculpt macro detail). Importing the concavity map into the displacement channel, I applied the map as a displacement at a level of 0.01 to the model. This gave me the base shape with all the wrinkle detail as captured by the defuse map to work with.

Using macro skin data I downloaded from the Institute for Creative Technologies and the Surface Mimic database available from here and cgpeers I sculpted in new macro detail keeping in direction flow of the existing wrinkles defined by the concavity map detail. After around 4 hours of sculpting work I then deleted the lower 3 SubD levels on the model and did a 32Bit exr height map export and a 16Bit gray scale bump height map export. The reason I remove the lower levels is so that the height maps generated don't have base model shape included, only the detail.

The bump can be blended with your glossy channel to give your speculars a detailed output and the 32Bit macro displacement blended with a 32Bit height map of the original SubD level 6 model gave me acceptable results that I found convincing.

I also cleaned up the original model and got rid of the eyelashes and hair displaced topology, giving me only skin surface to work with while taking special care not to remove any of the original scanned SubD level 6 detail. The defuse map was updated to include the serotonin discoloration that would have been there if the generated macro detail had originally come from the scanned model.
