≪ Previous: SkillShare - Learn to Paint a Digital Portrait from a Photograph

In this tutorial we'll learn some key fundamental concepts for modeling with polygons.

We'll cover troubleshooting your models, breaking down shapes into basic forms, and using primitives to create more complex forms. We'll also discuss correct edge flow, geometry amount, edge tension, and some really great tips and tricks.

By the end of this training, you'll have a greater understanding of creating and troubleshooting correctly formed geometry.

This tutorial is done using Maya, but any preferred 3D modeling application can be used as the focus is more on workflows and best practices, than software or tools.

Learn how to showcase an architectural design in real time, using the Unreal 4 game engine. A cutting-edge game engine, Unreal is known for sophisticated look development due to its robust lighting and physically based materials, and its tools work equally well for highly detailed and interactive architectural renderings. This course will guide users through importing model elements and setting up components for basic interactivity. From there, author Adam Crespi will create and apply realistic materials and lighting. A brief journey through the foliage and terrain tools rounds out the home design and sets it in place, ready for final tuning and publication.

Topics include:
- Customizing a player controller
- Importing meshes
- Cloning and placing objects
- Creating sheens, metals, and glass materials
- Placing and adjusting lights
- Adding interactivity with colliders, triggers, and events
- Generating and sculpting terrain
- Placing trees
- Adding details
- Publishing the design

≪ Previous: [Videohive] Collection

In this SilhouetteFX tutorial we'll be taking a look at SilhouetteFX. We'll start by learning how to navigate the interface and discuss the different tools we'll be using throughout the course. We'll then explore how powerful each node is followed by rotoscoping different elements and discussing how to assign various tracking data to drive the spline. Then, we'll learn a new way of rotoscoping using IK joint to control the spline behavior. And finally, we'll extract fast and easy mattes using two different ways of Keying inside the software. We'll learn about the Paint node menu and how to create a dynamic clean plate frame by frame. We'll continue by using the morph node to animate two images into each other using splines to control the transformation. We'll finish by learning the stereo menu inside SilhouetteFX and how to overcome the offset between left and right eye when using the Roto and Paint node. A bonus final project was added to simulate a standard film post-production shot. Where we'll use what have learned so far to complete it and composite the different elements in NUKE for a final outlook. By the end of this SilhouetteFX training you'll know how to rotoscope, track, extract matte, morph images and create clean plates in easy and difficult sequences, and export the final elements and shape data for use in NUKE.
