Digital-Tutors – Motorcycle Modeling Techniques in CINEMA 4D

Duration: 5h 20m | Release Date: June 1, 2012 | Author: Justin Marshall
MP4 | 1280?720 | 5h20min | + Exercise files
Required Software: CINEMA 4D R13

In this CINEMA 4D tutorial we will go through the process of building a motorcycle. We will start by setting up reference images for the bike and then use some spline-based tools and techniques to begin building up the molded fairing pieces. We’ll then use CINEMA 4D’s unique, hierarchy based workflow to construct the different elements of the motorcycle. We’ll use box modeling techniques to build up parts like the tank and other body elements. Combining splines will allow us to build complex hard surface shapes like the brake discs. All along the way we’ll talk about smoothing techniques and using symmetry to speed up our workflow. By the end, you’ll have a motorcycle model and knowledge you can apply to your own custom bike or model.

Lynda.com – SketchUp Rendering Using Twilight

Intermediate | 2h 56m Project Files 232 MB | Required Software: Google SketchUp 8, Twilight Render 1.5

Twilight is a very popular and inexpensive third-party renderer for SketchUp. This course shows how to create highly realistic 3D architectural drawings (including interior/exterior elements) with the lights, materials, camera, and render options in Twilight. Author Brian Bradley explains the importance of reflectance in materials, and shows how to manage and save rendering presets, how to correct for perspective, tone, and exposure in the camera, and how to create a variety of material types. The final chapter covers rendering your complete arch-viz scene for a couple types of output, including animation and composites.

Topics include:

+ Installing Twilight
+ Adding the Physical Sun and Sky
+ Employing Point, Spot, and Projector light types
+ Using light emitting materials
+ Managing the Quality Presets
+ Positioning your scene view
+ Working with the camera’s Focal Length setting
+ Creating diffuse, reflective, and refractive surfaces
+ Rendering out an alpha mask
+ Setting up a depth render

Digital Juice - Motion Designers Toolkit 7

Motion Designers Toolkit 7 - Complete (11 DVD9)
6.88GB | 7.48GB | 7.53GB | 7.63GB | 7.73GB | 7.17GB | 7.83GB | 7.57GB | 7.49GB | 7.38GB | 6.89GB

Pushing the Motions Designer's Toolkit line ever closer to the edge, DJ breaks new ground with two brand new packages of gritty, grunge-soaked urban animated elements in the form of Motion Designer's Toolkits 6 & 7. These 2 Volumes of jittery, artistic, roughly-hewn animations took a team of over 40 different artists from a wide variety of artistic fields -- pencil and tablet sketchers, vector design pros, traditional fine artists and a dedicated crew of animators -- well over 8 months to hammer out and whittle down to the collections you see before you.

The possible sources and styles for grungey, urban art elements were so limitless that the hardest task in putting these volumes together was in deciding just which elements made the cut. From stylized tree branches to dirt-filled and scratched surface tiles, from city skylines and angry brush strokes to industrial landscape and pavement cracks -- if it portrayed the urban mood in all its facets, it found its way into these two volumes. Motion Designer's Toolkit 6 contains 17 unique categories of these grunge-infused elements while Motion Designer's Toolkit 7 has 20.
But these collections are more than just a collection of stylized elements. More than ever, we created these animations to be a useful and ongoing resource for your production work for years to come. Whether it's rough framing elements or background textures, revealing paint strokes in different weights and styles or jagged edges with a character that adds a rough and ready look to an over-polished shot -- almost every element is offered as both a ready-to-use prerendered animation AND a customizable After Effects project file. So go ahead, build your own vision of the future imperfect, or evoke the decadence and decay of a bygone era -- or maybe, just have a little fun playing in the dirt.
Features
* 11 jam-packed discs
Filled with pre-rendered animations (simple, compound and looping segments), AE project files, vector graphics, mattes, background tiles and textures.

Gnomon Workshop - Matte Painting for Production with Jared Simeth

เบื้องหลังการทำซีน 3D game cinematic ที่ต้องใช้ทั้ง 2D matte painting, 3D Camera Integration, Lighting และอื่นๆ จำนวน 1DVD

BEHIND THE SCENES (BTS) is an exciting DVD series developed to showcase the creation of a game cinematic sequence. In this chapter of the series Jared Simeth demonstrates the creation of two matte paintings. Starting with concept paintings provided by BTS Art Director Mark Goerner, Jared goes through the process of creating simple 3D geometry and matching the camera in Maya. In Photoshop? he executes both a pan and tile style 2D matte painting, and one to be used with a 3D camera move. He covers techniques for keying, creating custom brushes and working with Photoshop’s perspective tools. In Maya, Jared shows how to project the painting onto the 3D geometry in preparation for the final camera move. The viewer will also see production meetings in which both the concept and execution are discussed and critiqued.

กระแสเกมบนแท็บเล็ตมาแรง! เจ้าของ Hay Day ทำเงินได้มากกว่าวันละล้านเหรียญ, เตรียมออกเกมเพิ่มปีหน้า

คุณพร้อมจะพัฒนาเกมลง iOs หรือยัง?

ในช่วงปีนี้เราได้เห็นผลงานของ Supercell ผู้พัฒนาเกม Hay Day ที่ติดกันทั่วบ้านทั่วเมือง และมีนโยบายว่าจะทำเกมลงบนแท็บเล็ตก่อน เพราะมองว่าเป็นอุปกรณ์อันยอดเยี่ยมสำหรับเล่นเกม

ดูเหมือนว่าแนวคิดของ Supercell นั้นจับใจผู้เล่นได้แล้ว ด้วยเวลาที่เพิ่งปล่อยเกมออกมาเพียงสองเกมในรอบหกเดือน (อีกเกมคือ Clash of Clans) ตัวเกมได้รับความนิยมอย่างล้นหลาม ในแง่รายได้ก็เพิ่มขึ้นอย่างต่อเนื่อง ตัวเลขล่าสุดที่ Supercell บอกมาคือราวล้านเหรียญต่อวัน

การเติบโตอย่างรวดเร็วของ Supercell เรียกได้ว่าเป็นการปฏิวัติวงการเกมรอบต่อจาก Angry Birds ที่สามารถเข้าไปแข่งขันกับค่ายเกมใหญ่ๆ ได้

ในปีหน้า Supercell มีแผนจะออกเกมเพิ่มอีก และดูเหมือนว่าจะยังเลือกพัฒนาบนแพลตฟอร์ม iOS เท่านั้นอีกเหมือนเคย

ที่มา - The Next Web

ที่น่าสนใจอีกเรื่องคือทั้ง Supercell และ Rovio ต่างก็เป็นบริษัทสัญชาติฟินแลนด์ทั้งคู่ ถึงตรงนี้หลายคนอาจจะสงสัยว่าทำไมประเทศนี้ถึงสร้างบริษัทเกมหน้าใหม่ได้ เรื่อยๆ แบบนี้
