Architectural Techniques in Zbrush | 190mb

Sebastien Legrain, a master ZBrush artist shows you some very powerful Projection Master techniques he uses to create architectural and hard surface elements.

In this series of lessons we will explore the various techniques and some helpful tips for setting up realistic lighting for an interior scene using V-Ray for Maya.

The ability to set up realistic lighting for an interior environment is a skill that is highly sought after in the CG industry. Problems to overcome, arise with every digital set. So we will be covering a lot of very common issues that you will want to be aware of such as using V-Ray lights to create physically-accurate light behavior, achieving realistic light bouncing in our scene, optimizing our render speed, using V-Ray materials to simulate a variety of surface types, using an external image-editing application to add some finishing touches to our renders, as well as many other tips, tricks, and techniques that will help you become a stronger, more effective rendering artist in V-Ray.

In this tutorial we will be going through the entire process of creating a detailed, high resolution Civil War Cannon using 3D Studio Max, xNormal and Photoshop. The entire pipeline is covered in detail, starting with the creation of the model and then moving onto Uvmapping and texturing.

This week The Gnomon Workshop adds to its library of professional production technique dvds with a new title by instructor Tim Jones of Digital Domain. Focusing on the essentials of compositing render passes from a 3D scene, "Multi-Pass Compositing” is a valuable demonstration for 3ds Max users looking to understand and maximize the benefits of this time saving technique. Tim shows how to efficiently control lighting, color, ambient occlusion and more.

Maya Robot Tutorial Learn how to 3d model a cool robot. This is one of the best tutorials on cgwhat check it out.
Lesson on modeling robot in Maya, using Nurbs and Sub-D. This is really helpful training for you. I hope you like it ! Enjoy !

This DVD takes you through the artistic and technical process of sculpting a human head from a polygonal cube. In this DVD, Kevin Hudson shows why character modelers are moving away from Nurbs modeling and toward Polygon/Subdivision surface modeling, which allows more freedom to localize detail and work with texture. Follow along as Kevin considers and sculpts the various features of the face - nose, mouth, eyelids and ears - as he transforms this simple structure into something as complex as the human head.
