Gender: eleaning</center>
In this tutorial you will learn a work flow on how to create a pool table using real scale values to give a realistic impression.
You will see how to use the Symmetry modifier to speed up your work, as well as the Bend modifier coupled with some basic commands like Insetting and Bridging to create a very unique design in matter of minutes. You will also learn how to save rendering time by choosing Standard materials over the Arch&Design; ones, while still achieving the same impressive results by ‘reverse-engineering’ the Pro Materials in matter of minutes.

The second part of our Animation Fundamentals series will build on the core animation techniques Simon taught you in the previous tutorial. Here we look at the importance of analysing and understanding our characters before attempting to animate them. How good staging, contrasting poses, observing silhouettes and related techniques will help deliver your drama clearly to the viewer. Simon will show you how the pose-to-pose animation technique will allow you to quickly and effectively animate in a production environment. Simon completes the tutorial with a practical example of how to put all of these principles into effect in a real world example staring Floppy the alien.

Cg Academy –  Advanced Maxscript1:The Matrix Explained

advancedmaxscript1.jpg

In this first of our Advanced MAXScript DVDs, Bobo introduces us to the world of 3D math, or as he puts it “how the 3D world functions under the hood…”. This DVD progresses through the theory and practical application of vector, trig, matrix and barycentric coordinate math. It will allow you to manipulate objects transforms, particles speed and motion, to easily align one object to another, and builds on all of these topics to culminate in a fully scripted ray-tracing rendering system!!

This DVD is an ideal introduction or refresher course for any Intermediate or Advanced scripter that wants gain (or re-gain) control of 3D math skills within MAXScript and in doing so push their skills forward and take a firmer control of many areas of 3dsmax.

Cg Academy– Maxscript Fundamentals2:Maxscript For The Masses

maxscriptfundamentals2.jpg

In our second MAXScript Fundamentals DVD, Borislav “Bobo” Petrov continues our exploration of the wonderful world of MAXScript. In this DVD Bobo applies MAXScript to many real world tasks where doing things by hand would be slow and laborious, bring to bear the power of MAXScript on the masses of objects, lights and materials found in a typical 3dsmax scene.

This DVD has been designed as a continuation of our first MAXScript Fundamentals DVD (Variables, Macroscripts & Functions by Laszlo Sebo), though it can be used by existing MAXScript users to gain insight into the power of MAXScript from an acknowledged scripting master.

Cg Academy –  Maxscript Fundamentals1:Variables,Macroscripts

maxscriptfundamentals1.jpg
In this first DVD in our MAXScript Fundamentals series Laszlo will take you through the first principles of MAXScript, such as Variables, Properties, For Loops, Flow Control, making your code into a MacroScript for easier access on your toolbars, Functions and how to make your own custom Functions from your own MAXScript code.

This DVD is aimed at an intermediate 3dsmax user who wants to harness the power of MAXScript and at those moving over to 3dmax from another platform that need to transfer their scripting skills. MAXScript will allow you to both to make your workflow easier via custom tools, and also to push beyond any limits placed on you by the systems GUI.

Note: No previous programming or scripting experience is needed for this DVD.

Cg Academy –  Afterburn Masters Set -3dvd (3ds Max)

afterburnmastersset.jpg

The Afterburn Masters Set brings together the three DVDs of the series to produce the definitive reference for those that want to take their skills with Afterburn to the next level. The series includes Afterburn Fundamentals with its in depth exploration of the Afterburn system and includes many examples of how to achieve real world effects. It moves on in Fireball to explore a production level effect of a fireball blasting down the aisle of a passenger jet, and concludes in Air Strike with a focus on making an effect be as procedural as possible so it can be re-used with ease on new shots, crucial for those on a tight schedule.

This DVD series is ideal for advanced Particle Flow users and for those that wish to learn more about using Afterburn. It is an exploration of Afterburn and its use with Particle Flow, including procedural methods using Particle Flow to achieve complex real world production level effects.

Cg Academy –  Afterburn Masters3:Allan Mckay’s –Air Strike

In this DVD Allan tackles a real world production scenario using a highly procedural workflow. He demonstrates how to use a combination of Particle Flow and Afterburn to form a flow that creates an air strike by a squadron of bomber jets. Each jet drops a bomb and this triggers a chain of events that leads to a number of effects that cascade from the original bomb release. A perfect example of how to push your Particle Flow and Afterburn based effects to a higher level and make your particles truly think for themselves!

Cg Academy –  Afterburn Masters2: Allan Mckay’s –Fireball

afterburnmasters2.jpg
In this DVD Allan McKay takes you through the real world scenario of creating a huge fireball bursting down the passenger aisle of a commercial jet. The tutorial covers such topics as tackling the creation of the various effect elements, including a Birth Script Operator to facilitate the fireball ripping chairs from their bases as it tears through the aircraft. The tutorial then goes on to cover the creation of the various render elements needed for the final effect and culminates in Allan taking you through a test composite to produce a final film quality effects shot.
