GW Stereoscopic Camera Fundamentals Maya and Lightwave

Stereoscopic Camera Fundamentals Maya and Lightwave Setup with Aristomenis Tsirbas from Gnomon Workshop

.mov | project files | 716Mb

In this DVD, director Aristomenis (Meni) Tsirbas reveals the essentials for creating properly animated stereoscopic imagery. Although Maya and LightWave are used, the course is platform agnostic and can be used with any animation software, even if it doesn't have stereoscopic tools. Meni guides you through a comprehensive overview of all the major principles of stereo filmmaking. Meni begins with a biological discussion of how the human eye perceives stereo imagery, and then covers the principles of 3D, including near and far divergence, the conversion at the screen plane, and working with camera movement. After creating a final render, he completes the lecture by showing how to display animated stereo sequences. This is a comprehensive yet simple to understand lecture that gives artists all the tools needed to generate exceptional stereoscopic imagery.

3D glasses are included with the purchase of the DVD (not the digital download). Instructor for this title: Aristomenis (Meni) Tsirbas

Description:
Maya DMM Introduction
cmiVFX releases a digital
bombshell on the video training industry for the Digital Molecular
Matter System (DMM) for Autodesk Maya AND 3DS Max. Creating Destruction
and Deformation Animations takes almost no time at all with this ground
breaking (pun intended) technology. Now you too can use the same
advanced simulation technology that high-end visual effects studios use
to bring your artistic creations to life. The DMM Plug-in is fully
integrated with Maya and 3D Studio Max and can take advantage of
features such as fields as well as keyed kinematic movement.

We will show you all of the in and out points of this system, all while
demonstrating the creative power that it can harness in each and every
artist that uses it. In our projects you will learn how to achieve
several crucial scenarios to the Visual Effects Pipeline so that you can
be up and running full speed at the end of this video.

4h 54m | Video: VP6 (.flv) 1280*720 15fps | Audio: MP3 96KBps 1ch | 1.98GB
Genre: eLearning | Level: Advanced | Language: English

In this course, we'll learn how to create a 3D illustration for use on a magazine cover. Over the course of these videos we will learn how to efficiently model by only modeling what we need and how to reuse basic base meshes as starting points. Then we will look at how to efficiently UV map, looking at techniques to quickly produce distortion free UVs. Then using Ambient Occlusion bakes as starting points for our textures we will look at a efficient and repeatable texturing process. We will then look at how to pose our characters, setup shaders to replicate advanced effects such as refraction and sub-surface scattering, before setting up render passes and layers for compositing. Finally we will bring it all together in Photoshop using our layers to composite and adjust our image before looking at some final techniques to complete our 3D Illustration.

FXPHD mya203 - Intermediate Maya III 
.mov | project files | 856Mb

This is the start of a whole new era of 3D training at fxphd. We will be starting out with modelling and then moving to texturing and lighting.
For the first time we have a new and exciting program that integrates with our other courses.
This term we start the Zombie project, a moving love story set against the backdrop of a society that has had a really serious zombie problem - but has learnt to deal with it - more or less. The film will be shot on the Viper Digital camera and will feature a range of visual effects. In this course we will be contributing to the visual effects of the zombie both in adding to digital matte paintings and the broken limbs of poor unfortunate blown up zombies. The course will integrate into next term, and work with Mudbox files and a range of great texturing and lighting problems.

Simply Maya 3D Exterior Set Design

Simply Maya 3D Exterior Set Design
eLearning | 1.1 GB
Creating a Fantasy Landscape is a tutorial that contains a lot of NURBS modeling so you will learn how to work with isoparms, hulls, CV's, lofting surfaces and Maya's curve tools. This is a fast way to generate a lot of geometry in a scene which is then converted to polygons for adding details and refining the models.



We'll create mountain terrain, windmills, mushroom shaped houses, clouds and rope bridges, all these techniques are important when modeling fantasy or realistic exteriors in Maya. You'll see how the sculpt geometry tool can be used to sculpt ground based terrain and work with the split poly tool to cut out irregular shapes in landscape modeling.

The project continues with texturing where you'll lay out UV's for the environment and you'll get some good tips and tricks on how to fix some of the common problems that might occur during the UV mapping
process. We'll then bring it into Photoshop for texture painting rock, wood and many other things during which you'll get some good practice at using smudge tools and blending colors. As well we'll create bump maps using procedural textures and to get some color variation in our final scene we will work with ramp textures.

Finally we'll create a complete sky environment with clouds and look at how to add your own custom background images in Maya and render with depth of field to add another dimension to our final result. This environment can further be used to place your own animated characters in.

FXPHD MYA301 Maya in Production: Moving Day

This course, taught by Matt Leonard, is going to be slightly different from our other Maya offerings because we’re going to be working alongside a new and very exciting project called ‘Moving Day’. This short film is being directed by award wining director Jason Wingrove. ‘Moving Day’ tells the story of a young girl and her fight against the fairies who inhabit the garden of her new home. Our short film is literally being produced throughout the term and we’ll have first hand experience of working in post during a live project.

Class 1:
In our first class we look at the Moving Day storyboards, Script and Animatic. We then go on to look at our Maya multipass render setup and how we’ll be compositing that inside of Nuke. We also cover render time predictions and other pre-production issues.
Class 2:
In our second class we begin by looking at reference material gathered over the week. We then go on to look at some basic fairy wings built in Maya with the aim of producing some reference animation. The second half of the class is centered on building a UV pass in Maya and using it in conjunction with the STMap tool in Nuke.
Class 3:
In our third class we look at some shots from on-set and begin modeling the wings.
Class 4:
Class 4 begins a two week test for Moving Day. This week we will be modeling, rigging and animation our fairy wings using the green screen plate as a reference guide along with PFTrack data.
Class 5:
Class 5 continues on in our Moving Day test. This week we add textures to our wings, light the scene based on the background plate, setup the render passes and finally the other render settings. We then move into Nuke for the second half of the class to composite the CG into the background plate, pull a key on the green screen fairy element and add reflections.
Class 6:
In this class we look at creating a dynamically driven ragdoll which can be animated via dynamics instead of keyframing.
Class 7:
Guest prof Yannick Meillier covers matchmoving the farie shots.
Class 8:
In this class we look at Maya custom project settings, new wing setup, animation, shaders and render layers, Nuke compositing, particle Instancing and particle Sprites.
Class 10:
This class is Part 2 of a 2 part series looking at compositing for Moving Day. In this class we look at multipass compositing and making a custom edge blur tool.
