One of the courses that we are working this month is the workflow of adding hair to game characters where modeling each hair isn’t an option. So this course takes you through the process of creating the planes, custom texture maps and then how to hook all of it back up together. You could use this technique for low res characters in your scenes.
Last month we released the Illustrator course on how to create a logo using a character. We wanted to take it a step further so the team has been working on a course to take the Illustrator logo and actually build out the logo in 3D. They will be using Cinema 4D to build this logo and use the Illustrator curves from the previous course.
Our Softimage instructors have been busy at work on redoing an older course called Rendering Techniques. We used to have this course in our catalog but it was created in an older version of Softimage and needed to be redone with a newer version of the software and techniques. The course is going to be for those who understand Softimage and the lighting / rendering tools but wants to go deeper into the process of rendering and compositing passes. [...]
We are working on some training that will teach you how to integrate a 3D object and put it into some live action plates. We shot some footage using a Canon 5D Mark II and using Nuke we’re working on the process of integrating the two objects. We also hope to have this course ready in After Effects and Toxik so you can use your tool of choice.
If you have to render an object that needs a studio look to them but don’t have access to a library of your own HDR images then you might want to look into HDR Light Studio. We’ve been using this app for about a year and the results are incredible. You have full control of your maps and how they look. They also simulate a studio environment and the output can be used with any application. We’re working with the [...]
Learning how to build a 3D car is more than just creating the geometry and shaders. That is what it looks like on the surface but if you peel it back there is a lot going on during the process.
Rendering interior surfaces is a challenging process and one of the things that we wanted to teach was the process of creating materials and textures that push the limits of the rendering system.
