Digital-Tutors – Facial Animation in Maya
2 hrs. 38 min. |Released on June 30, 2011 |Project Files Included (104 MB)
Required Software: Maya 2012 and up

In this collection of lessons we will learn tips an techniques for creating believable facial animations.

This course will cover the process of animating a face in Maya. We will build the animation step by step, covering time-saving and proficient techniques like smart blocking, using a checklist, how to work with reference, checking for arcs. We will even cover what to do when we encounter issues where an expression that was not anticipated calls for the control rig to be revised. By the end of this course, you we will be equipped with the knowledge you need to build your own facial animations that are convincing and entertaining.

The Gnomon Workshop - Maya Dynamics Outer Space Environments

10:25 AM  MOF  No comments


The Gnomon Workshop - Maya Dynamics Outer Space Environments
Software : Maya | Size 2.58 GB

In this DVD, John presents the entire process of creating an outer space effects sequence. Starting with a space ship and a camera move, John takes the viewer through a step-by-step look at how to create a sequence that includes following a space ship as it breaks free of a tractor beam, launches out of planetary orbit, then flies through a field of asteroids and starbirth nebula clouds. John uses Maya's Dynamics system to build elements in the shots, demonstrating their use within the shot environment. He shows how to use cloud particles as a volume surface on which to project shaders to simulate nebulas that can be both stunning backgrounds and realistic clouds that can be flown through. John also walks you through a series of simple effects that add dynamic detail to the shots: sprite-stars, tractor beams, explosions, an energy field and an asteroid field. This lecture will enable you to create fantastic outer space shots that push the scope of imagination.

Making Turntable Animations - Maya Techniques with Alex Alvarez

Making Turntable Animations - Maya Techniques with Alex Alvarez
English | AVC1 1280x800 | MP3 128 Kbps | Size 1.15 GB
Genre: eLearning

This tutorial demonstrates a simple, yet effective, solution for creating dynamic turntables. Utilizing Maya's two-node camera, motion path animation provides a flexible way to move the camera around the model. Precise and cycling rotations are combined with a moving camera, to allow for various views of the model in a single turntable. We begin the tutorial by creating a three-point lightrig using raytraced shadows and Mental Ray. This tutorial demonstrates how to render a Maya animation from the Command Line. While it is possible to render from within Maya using Batch Render, there are several advantages to avoiding this approach. More memory is available to the renderer when Maya is closed which is often a necessity. But furthermore, command line rendering simplifies the process of managing rendered frames, network rendering and the batch rendering of multiple scenes. This tutorial also demonstrates how to render the wireframe/topology of the model on top of the shaded turntable animation.

When presenting work, especially on a reel, viewers will expect to see not just the finished result, but also how it was achieved. Clean, efficient and animation friendly topology is critical, therefore presenting that aspect of your work is expected.

We look at a variety of wireframe styles and composite them in After Effects.

Topics Covered:
3-point Lighting
Raytraced Shadows
two-node camera
Rendering from the Command Line
Wireframe Rendering
Compositing in After Effects

Chapters:
3-point Lighting and 2-node Camera Motion
Rendering from the Command Line

Digital-Tutors – Creative Development: Modeling a Cowgirl Character in Maya and Silo with Antony Ward

7:00 AM  MOF  No comments


Digital-Tutors – Creative Development: Modeling a Cowgirl Character in Maya and Silo with Antony Ward
Advanced | 3h 05m | 1018 MB | Project Files 11 MB | Required Software: Silo 2.2, Maya 2012

In this tutorial we will explore how to build a stylised cowgirl character using subdivision surfaces. Throughout these lessons we will explore the use of subdivision surfaces to help us quickly create a stylized cowgirl character. We will begin with a base mesh before posing her and adding clothing and detail. The result will be a highly detailed model ready for textures and rendering that can be used in an illustration or even animation. Although we will primarily be using Silo throughout the tutorial, the techniques taught in these lessons can be followed along using any subdivision surfaces software.

Digital-Tutors - Pipeline integration with Mudbox 2012 and Maya

Digital-Tutors - Pipeline integration with Mudbox 2012 and Maya

In this series of lessons we will discuss a variety of ways that we can work efficiently between Mudbox and Maya. Mudbox and Maya are very complementary packages. Maya gives us the ability to build up our models, rig and animate them, and render them. But Mudbox allows us to use a much more artistic approach to shaping and sculpting our models. It also allows us to paint textures very quickly and with a lot of power. By leveraging these two applications together, we can really create a solid workflow. In this course we'll look at ways to get geometry and textures back and forth between Maya and Mudbox.
