In this lecture we will begin to understand the gaits of certain bipeds and how studying their movement will enable us to give our characters propulsion and weight. We will learn how overlapping action can be achieved via offsetting keyed attributes on the timeline and in the graph editor. Furthermore, it is important for our characters to have personality – we will explore ways of bringing ‘life’ to the animation.

Create compelling visual effects and experience the immediate feedback necessary for true online experimentation. Used by the world's leading artists, Autodesk Inferno systems software delivers incredible performance combined with one of the most sophisticated visual-effects toolsets on the market today.

Well, there's so much eye-opening information here and easy explanations, it made it easy to understand.Some chapters were too technical for my needs, but I was able to use a bunch of the projects like “the sqeezer”. I recommend this to anyone getting started in movie making. Having worked on a number of professional films, this book is the real deal.Clearly the author has met a lot of challenges we all face on-set.

In this DVD Paul deals with many of the aspects of skinning a character using 3dsmax's Skin modifier. Starting with weighting via envelopes Paul then moves on to build on this foundation with weight painting and blending. Further control is then added via muscle bones, skin deformers and springs for dynamic flexing of the Ogre's stomach.

Motion is a very powerful and easy to use product, its implementation of the PrimatteRT keyer is easy enough for anyone to use. However, we all know that we don't live in a perfect world. With shrinking budgets and growing expectations we are sometimes forced to use formats like DV to capture our footage. In a perfect world everything would have perfect lighting and be captured in a lossless format that would preserve all the color information necessary to pull a good key using a few strokes inside motions graceful keyer

Fusion 5's Courseware is a compilation of Quicktime videos that introduce you to basic and intermediate concepts. The tutorials start with an introduction demonstrating basic interface layout and operations. The following sections zero in to cover keying, expressions, tracking, particles, color correction, effects masks and animation in even more detail.

In this DVD Master presents a modern approach to digital sculpting that includes technical discussions, and features in-depth techniques for adding life and realism to your characters. Using a Maya-to-ZBrush workflow, the viewer takes a step-by-step look at how underlying muscles and bone structure affect the true form of the human body

This DVD, takes you through the entire process of creating an environment with 3ds Max starting with the analysis of reference photographs and determining real world object dimensions, all the way through the 3D modeling and texturing pipeline. Master will teach you how to spot the visual cues that will allow you to quickly and accurately determine dimensions from set photographs. You will also learn how to build quick layout files for modeling and animation and how to model and texture an entire environment from photographic reference. Many artistic and technical challenges are addressed such as understanding perspective, modeling architecture, tile roofs, stone pathways as well as decay and general destruction.

This DVD covers a general introduction to the principles of Global Illumination, which are essential to the understanding of this specialized form of lighting. While the series primarily uses V-Ray as the render engine in a 3ds Max environment, those using other GI renderers will also benefit from the conceptual techniques described. From the general concepts of reflected specular and diffuse light, to sky lights and image based lighting with HDRIs.
