Product Design Rendering Essentials Lighting and Shading in StudioTools with Dustin Brown
StudioTools is a workhorse application for many industrial designers, but much of its functionality is buried within complex option windows and cryptically named settings. In this DVD, industrial designer Dustin Brown demystifies the rendering process in StudioTools. He covers not only critical settings within the software, but also presents his unique approach to planning, lighting and shader creation.
In this DVD, director Aristomenis (Meni) Tsirbas begins a special series that chronicles the process of creating a short film from scratch. The first volume reveals the crucial initial steps for getting a short film off the ground. The second volume builds on the first by taking his first-pass concept designs and refining them into usable guides for 3D modeling.
This pair of tutorials, especially Volume 2, are extremely hard to come by. Enjoy in good health! :)
