In this first part of my Mastering Unreal Engine 4 tutorial series I cover the, probably, most central aspect of Unreal Engine 4 - especially as a 3D artist - the Material Editor. It's an incredibly powerful tool and can yield amazing results with little effort.

Narrated Video Tutorial: 44 minutes.

This video is aimed towards beginners or intermediate users of UE4 who want to brush up on their UE4 foundational skills of the Material System in Unreal Engine 4.

Learn how to create a Master Material, which can easily be scaled
Set up Instances
Create Material Functions
Learn the difference between Metallic and non-Metallic materials
How to use Switches
Save time (and increase performance) using material parameters in Unreal Engine 4

A tale packed with adventure, The Book of Life celebrates the power of friendship and family, and the courage to follow your dreams.

To determine whether the heart of humankind is pure and good, two godlike beings engage in an otherworldly wager during Mexico's annual Day of the Dead celebration. They tether two friends, Manolo and Joaquin, into vying for the heart of the beautiful and fiercely independent Maria, with comical and sometimes dangerous consequences.

This volume is an inspirational behind-the-scenes look at the making of the animated feature film The Book of Life, from visionary producer Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth) and director Jorge R. Gutierrez (El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera).

This is old now. Some of the info is no longer correct with newer versions of LW. However, it really isn't completely useless. It's a very good introduction to "What the hell is rigging and how does it work in LW?"

Also... it's much simpler and easier to understand than RH's rigging training. (Although you'll want to do that after you've done this.)

Do you have a good idea for a 3D game, but find some of the technical aspects of 3D game creation to be a bit daunting? SceneKit—a 3D graphics API used in iOS programming—can help simplify this process, and make it easier to bring your game to life. In this course, learn how to leverage SceneKit to build a simple 3D game for iOS. Mike Wong helps to familiarize you with the basics of this high-level framework, covering how to build your first SceneKit game project, and work with scenes, nodes, physics, and particles.

Topics include:

Setting up SceneKit
The SceneKit coordinate system
Using built-in view features
Physics in SceneKit
Spawning multiple objects and timers
Optimizing performance
Creating your first particle system
Configuring and implementing a particle system
Enabling touch

Virtual reality and augmented reality are popular concepts that excite many technical professionals with the array of creative possibilities they present—but how do programmers actually approach these abilities? What tools do they need? What languages do they use? In this course, learn how to start developing for VR. Michael House equips you with the knowledge and skills you need to tackle a number of different VR projects using Google VR for Android. He explains how to set up your development environment by installing Unity, JDK, and Android SDK. He also shows how to use cameras to view VR environments, and work with the different inputs available to interact with your virtual world.

Topics include:

The state of virtual reality
VR user interfaces
Setting up a development environment
Setting up a project
Creating scripts
Adding a custom skybox
Mobile device configuration
VR cameras
Interacting with the VR environment

CADLearning for Dynamo covers the fundamental use of Dynamo. Dynamo is a free program from Autodesk that uses visual programming to create its own geometry with parametric relationships. It can also read and write to and from external databases. Dynamo is a stand-alone program, but it can also be used as an add-on to Revit, the premier BIM tool from Autodesk.

Wrap changes the way you process 3D-scan data. When working with a large set of similar objects like human scans Wrap makes it possible to take an existing basemesh and non-rigidly fit it to each and every scan.

It also provides a set of very useful scan processing tools like decimation, mesh filtering, texture projection and many more. Thanks to node-graph architecture once you’ve processed a single scan you can apply the same recipe to an unlimited number of other scans.

INSTALLATION:

1. Install the software, launch it once and then close it
2. Go to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\R3DS\Wrap3
3. Replace the licence.lic file with the downloaded one
4. Enjoy

Second book ANATOMY OF FACIAL EXPRESSION (Head and Neck Anatomy) redefines the human head, often the most difficult area of human anatomy to understand. This time we are taking it a step further by bringing this imagery to you in full 3D. This book focuses exclusively on using 3D modeling, CT, MRi and 3D scan techniques of the head & neck. It covers forms, shapes, facial topography, gender differences, age groups, body types, ethnicities, and the anatomy of the human head and neck.

Most Blender users have never heard of drivers, and if they have, they think it is too difficult to understand.

This is a real shame, because drivers are one of the most powerful parts of Blender. They allow us to automate work, and create really awesome things without having to write lots of code!


6 hours of High Quality Tutorials

Learn what drivers are, how they work and what you can do with them.
Together we will create different automatic objects that would have seemed like magic before!

And don’t worry if it looks very hard, we will go through everything step by step, making it easy to understand.
