Throughout this tutorial, we'll look at how we can create detailed game assets without a concept and within a very short time frame. We will also look at the steps required to rapidly build an asset almost entirely within ZBrush. In ZBrush, we will sketch out our silhouette and begin designing our weapon while still in 3D. Then we will break the sketch into a more production-ready model and create a quick and iterative pipeline for testing out our model in the game immediately. Afterwards we'll detail our asset to finalize it. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a solid, flexible, and iterative workflow that will help you crank out great art in a fraction of the time it would normally take. Software required: ZBrush 4r7, xNormal, Marmoset Toolbag.

In this Rhino tutorial, we'll explore tools, techniques, and processes that are useful to architects and designers. The goal of this tutorial is to utilize the native tools, concepts, and workflows necessary to produce complex, organic shapes in Rhino without the use of a third party plug-in. We'll explore multiple approaches to create simple and complex varieties of similar objects. By the end of this Rhino training, you'll not only understand how to create historical architecture, but you'll also have learned even more consistent and positive working habits in Rhino. Software required: Rhino 5, Flamingo NXT.

These are 3ds max facades. Didn't find these on the torrent list. I searched the internet and don't have a clue what site these came from. I have had these for quite a while and thought they may be of some use to the members.

Corel has just announced ParticleShop, a plugin for Photoshop, Lightroom, and PaintShop Pro that allows users to create photo-realistic effects with a set of ‘life-like brushes’.It is the first time that the company has introduced their brush technology outside of Corel Painter, which also received a recent upgrade to the ‘2016’ edition. ParticleShop can emulate a number of different effects with only a few brushstrokes, making it a powerful tool for the creative photographer.

The software uses Corel’s trademarked Painter Particle brush technology to easily recreate effects and textures such as hair, fabric, fire, smoke, fur, dust, or light. The plugin includes 11 different brushes to get you started, and additional packages can be purchased separately.

Compositing is an optimizational workflow for minimizing render iterations while maximizing your render output’s editability. It’s essentially the concept of separating your render into individual components that can be reconstructed and tweaked independently after rendering.

Compositing is sort of like Apple TV in that it’s very useful but can be difficult to explain and understand. So let’s break it down into a problem –> solution explanation.

The Problem ————————————————–

Rendering is always the bottle neck of a production pipeline due to the extended time required to render animation. So when we commit to a render, wait hours or days for it to finish, only to decide after the fact that we want ​​the​ [metallic material] to reflect 50% less, our only choice is to make that change in the shader then render and wait again. This is where compositing comes in.

The Solution ————————————————–

Someone had the brilliant idea to separate rendered elements – like objects, material color, reflections, lighting, etc – so they could be tweaked individually after rendering. Now to continue with the previous example, we could reduce reflections by 50% with the compositor in 5 seconds instead of waiting hours to render the whole scene again.

That’s the meat and potatoes of compositing. And in this course we’re going to explore how we can disassemble and reassemble a 3D render with Blender’s Node Editor.

Avid Media Composer 8 Essential Training is a start-to-finish, project-based course designed to get you up to speed on every aspect of Avid Media Composer. Staff author Ashley Kennedy begins with a fast-track chapter that breaks down the entire editing process into eight steps—great as an overview for new editors, and a good crash course in Media Composer for editors migrating from other platforms. She then focuses on getting you comfortable with each stage of the editing process—from preparation and organization to editing and refining, to audio and effects, to media management and output. Each post-production technique is explained thoroughly and concisely, using real-world examples from a documentary-style promo project. Dive in and learn how to take your projects from concept to creation.
