In this course, we will learn teachniques for interior/exterior architectural detailing in ZBrush

Building and detailing environments can be a time consuming process. To finish your models, you might need to create texture maps, either derived from photos, procedurally generated or hand painted. Adding higher resolution detail, like bricks or stone, to your interior and exterior models can be challenging as well. ZBrush can make this process a little bit easier. We'll start by creating a seamless brick texture that we can apply to our geometry. We'll look at using the Projection Master to quickly add detail to our models. We'll use Noise to interactively dial in some specific patterns, like a knockdown wall texture. We'll also look at building individual elements using primitive geometry that we can then append to our model. Once you're done, you'll have a better understanding of some of the tools you can use to detail your environments in ZBrush and a few ideas to get you going.

Create an Awesome Pinboard Effect in Houdini – Modeling – CG Premium Content

This week Cgtuts+ brings you another amazing two part, in-depth Houdini tutorial, available exclusively to our Premium subscribers. The tutorial follows Houdini artist Alvaro Castaneda as he walks us through the creation of this awesome animated pinboard scene. Today’s part covers the creation of the model, whilst part 2 goes on to look at animation and rendering. We know you’re going to love it!

"3ds Max VRay Transformers film effects production techniques" dedicated to all those who love 3D creation, love Transformers and industrial design to a
friend! Through this book, you will learn in detail the film version of Transformers, animated version of Transformers, distorted text production methods
and techniques. The book gave a detailed three-dimensional animation of the early creation, polygon modeling, VRay renderer to use, scene production,
deformation animation and compositing, editing the entire process. On the lessons learned through years of work, analyzed the effects of Transformers
Movie creation of many key points and difficulties, to create the perfect combination of ideas and production techniques, so that readers in a relaxed 

Gnomon - Archviz Rendering in Mental Ray with Alex Sandri | 456 MB

Mental Ray Importons and Irradiance Particles rendering algorithm, is a novel approach to compute global illumination based on importance sampling, which tends to converge much faster to a desirable quality than the existing solutions like global illumination photon tracing combined with final gathering. Everybody seems to agree that this Mental Ray rendering algorithm, represent the future of 3d Rendering and is still in the Optimization Phase. In this tutorial I have explained a few different approach \"workflows\" to present the user with more choices in terms of light mood and render times output.
