Learn how to use the software you already know and love for print publications—Adobe InDesign CC—to create great looking ebooks. Learn what's hidden inside an EPUB, the ebook standard format, and how InDesign can be the fastest road to an EPUB, with its ability to automatically convert your files into the necessary HTML and CSS. As the training progresses, you'll discover how to optimize existing text, graphics, tables, and videos and tailor your EPUBs specifically for the Kindle, Kobo, and NOOK ereaders. InDesign insider and author Anne-Marie Concepción also shares some free scripts for Mac and Windows that will make your ebook export even faster, as well as features in InDesign CC built especially for ebooks, such as semantic markup and CSS resizing.

PHY101 - Introduction to Physics
Professor: Mike Seymour (mikes)
In this follow up to Introduction to Math (MTH101) - one of our most successful courses of the last
few terms - Mike Seymour and Steve Anderson tackle Physics 101. This course is designed to give
you the basis in reality to understand real world phenomenon such as inertia, how to fly, fluid sims,
and breaking stuff up.
Class 1: Mass, Energy, and Inertia - This class covers energy conservation, the principle of
different masses with movement having different energy, and how that might be transferred. It aims
to give your work weight and believability by understand the basic building blocks of Physics.
Class 2: Optics - In so many aspects of vfx and computer graphics understanding concepts like
refraction, focus, the inverse square law are vital to believable high quality work. Both on set and in
CGI optics plays an ever increasingly large role in getting a shot right and producing exactingly
accurate results.
Class 3: Balance and Follow-through - Why does a bike in motion not fall over, why does a bike
cornering lean. How do you fly? Why do so many vfx flying things look totally fake while it seems so
simple? We look at the nature of balance, follow through and ultimately flight and just what simple
rules need to be followed to make something physically correct.
Class 4: Fluids, Part 1 - We aim to explain how fluids work and algorthims of the models of how
they work. We start with some history of fluid approaches and build to more complex understanding
of the dynamics of fluid simulations.
Class 5: Fluids, Part 2 - Simulations require both accurate sims and artistic control we explore
vortex equations, controlling and rendering, liquid simulation tools and some fluid plugins.
Class 6: Cloth and Elastics - How does a cloth sim work - why is it like metal, what properties does
cloth have - how is a bungie cord different from slime goop. What is surface tension and how does
elasticity enter the equation.
Class 7: Breaking Things and Crashing Stuff, Part 1 - How do things break - what are the maths
behind the crashing chaos. How do you go about rigging for breaking and shatter patterns. Plus, we
just smash stuff for the fun of it !
Class 8: Breaking Things and Crashing Stuff, Part 2 - The simulation of breakage. What is the best
way to approach the destruction of a scene?
Class 9: The physics of light and how it's currently being re-created through vfx.
Class 10: Physics Plug-in Options, Part 2 - We close out the course answering your questions
showing more approaches to common problems and providing you with the theory so you can
design the best sims to nail an effects sequence.

In this course intended for intermediate viewers, instructor Alan Thorn explores how to build low-poly environment assets in a dark industrial theme. These meshes fit together seamlessly, like building blocks, for creating expansive and versatile level design in games. Use Blender to model, unwrap, texture-paint, and optimize assets, exporting them to a real-time game engine. Over five, massive chaptersyou’ll examine 1). Polygonal modelling techniques for bulding complex shapes and designs;2). NGons and topology optimization for enhancing and refining your meshes; 3).Smooth shading and UV Seams for creating good looking meshes and texture designs; 4). Texture unwrapping and UV layouts, as well as texture baking and painting for developing a smooth and intuitive workflow; 5). Model exporting for game engines, to help bring your models to life inside a real-time game engine. By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid foundation for easily building low-poly, modular game assets that can be used and re-used to create potentially limitless level designs.

Plexus is a plug-in designed to bring generative art closer to a non-linear program like After Effects. It lets you create, manipulate and visualize data in a procedural manner. Not only you can render the particles, but also create all sorts of interesting relationships between them based on various parameters using lines and triangles. The workflow for Plexus is very modular allowing you to create truly infinite set of configurations and parameters.

How many tech logos have you come across that look the same? Perhaps you've seen some that use circuitry, electron particles, or even dissolving bitmaps. How do you stand out in an industry full of the same cliche logos? This course, Design a Tech Logo That Stands Out, will get you thinking creatively about designing not just tech logos, but logos for any project. First, you'll discover the core principles of effective tech logo design, tech trends to avoid, and logo dos vs. logo don'ts. Then, you'll learn how to visualize ideas through design, which will really help you create truly unique, relevant, and effective logos. Finally, you'll follow along through two fictional projects where you'll be challenged with brainstorming for concepts while adhering to unique project briefs. By the end of this course, you'll have a solid understanding of how to create your very own effective tech logos.

Get your start in digital animation with Adobe Animate CC, the program that takes the best features from Flash and bundles them with Creative Cloud tools. Animate uses nested symbols and motion and shape tweening to create the "in-between" images between keyframes. This course is an introduction to the basics: using the drawing tools, creating symbols, tweening, keyframing, etc. No scripting knowledge is required! It's ideal for new animators as well as Flash animators who need help transitioning to the Animate interface. Dermot O' Connor shows how to create a complete scene with backgrounds and characters, and includes tips for adjusting arcs and timing and adding smoke and shadows, sound effects, and camera moves.

Topics include:

Setting up your scene
Creating symbols
Applying motion and shape tweens
Creating nested animations
Copying keyframes
Adding text, sound, and effects
Exporting the animation

WHAT MAKES THIS WORKSHOP UNIQUE FROM LIGHTING 101?

Get the Flash Off Your Camera – Lighting 201 picks up right where Lighting 101 leaves off as we will begin to develop on all of our previous techniques in lighting, light shaping, and light modification. In this workshop, we will focus on creating amazing images with only the use of a single off-camera flash.
Comprehensive Guide to Lighting Gear – As we move into Lighting 201, we will be dealing with far more gear than we previously have in Lighting 101. This workshop begins by helping you better understand and master all the different types of lighting gear and technologies. We discuss everything from budget and inexpensive gear to medium and higher quality gear. All the while, we stress that regardless of the type of equipment you use, you can still end up with professional quality results.
Advanced Creative Techniques – In this workshop, we start to emphasize creative light control over corrective light control and show you how to use your single off-camera flash to get interesting new looks to your images. Lighting 201 will teach you everything from backlighting your subjects for creative effects, using light modifiers and DIY gobos to manipulate light, and other techniques to help take your images to the next level.

** NOTES **

• I don't have Mac version, as of yet.

• I didn't create the crack which is included here. If you have technical issues or questions, try searching the Forums.

(Oddly, I couldn't find a single Maya LT thread at CG Forums.)

• Please give this torrent a good couple of hours to upload.

I seed continually, but it takes a little time. "Pls seed" comments will likely get you Warned.

• Support the official software, if and when you can. {i]Esp. for commercial use.[/i]
