Digital-Tutors – Enhancing Rigs with Maya Muscle
Intermediate | 3h 22m | 1.68 GB | Project Files 58 MB | Required Software: Autodesk Maya 2012

In this Maya tutorial, you will be equipped with the knowledge you need to incorporate Maya Muscle into your own rigging pipeline.

Over the series of tutorials, we will use Maya’s very robust and intuitive muscle system improve the overall realism of an animated character. We will start with an animated rig that has some major deformation problems that will need to be addressed. From there, we will start to strategically build an efficient muscle rig that will preserve volume in critical areas that are prone to collapse, like the shoulders and forearms. We’ll learn how to customize Maya muscle shapes and follow-through effects to create the illusion of weight and realism! We’ll also cover integrating blend shapes with Maya Muscle and file referencing to work smarter, not harder. By the end of this tutorial, you will be equipped with the knowledge you need to incorporate Maya Muscle into your own rigging pipeline.

The Ryan and Cesar ZBrush show is something to witness.With a very laid back easy going style they both very confidently lead you right where you may never have thought you could go as a digital artist. I think Pixologic, the game/film industries, and game and movie fans are the real winners with this DYNAMIC DIGITAL DUO. They are helping to fine tune the digital production artists of today and create and cultivate the digital character artists of tomorrow. So many tips, tricks, and industry insider tidbits are shared in these webinars that you can't possibly remember them all. But if you just remember two or three of them, technically you will already be a better production artist.

ZBrushWorkshops – Anatomy of the Face for Artists

4:43 AM  MOF  3 comments


ZBrushWorkshops – Anatomy of the Face for Artists

Sculpting the face is hard, really hard. However, it can be made easier and that is what this workshop sets out to do. I created this workshop from years of banging my head against a wall and trying to understand why my sculptures just didn’t look right. Years. It left a flat spot on my forehead, actually.

The good news here is that all of those years of banging my head finally paid off. Not only can I sculpt a human face quicker and more reliably then before but I can teach you.

This workshop is filled with quick, spontaneous schematic drawings to help you understand the form of the human face and how the architecture of planes all work together. It also includes quick mini-lectures to help you understand the terminology of facial anatomy.

Most importantly, though, it walks you step-by-step through the process of sculpting the face. I dare say this is the most comprehensive facial anatomy workshop out there.
