This DVD starts the series, logically, by showing you how to model a complex, organic model, demonstrated on a young girl's head. loocas duber in more than 7 hours of fully dubbed video shows all the principles, techniques and processes needed in order to construct a model with neat, clean and mainly correct topology ready for being rigged and animated. loocas also talks about human anatomy, concerning head and neck areas, about correct deformation zones and shows the viewer how it is done in high-end productions on a regular basis. Since we've promised you won't miss a thing, the entire DVD is uncut and contains everything from setting up the references to final touches on the finished model. The latest techniques require the latest technology, therefore all the modeling is done on 3ds Max with help of Orionflame v3.0 Everything is divided into logical chapters for better and faster navigation throughout the content.

Eat3d The Fountain Part 2 - Low Res, UVing, and Baking

Gender: elearning

Learn how to create professional low res meshes for next-gen games. The bulk of this demonstration is in 3ds Max 2010 where the instructor uses the new graphite modeling tools to optimize and create meshes to be used to capture the details from the fountain high res mesh. After the low res mesh is created the instructor creates the UVs for all the modular pieces of the fountain and then goes into great detail about the baking options to create your normal and ao maps.

Eat3d Low-Res Character Production – Constructing A Character For Next-Gen Games | 2.1 GB

In this DVD instructor Adam Schuman walks you through the entire process of constructing a low resolution character worthy of any "next-generation” game. Follow him as he shows you his techniques in exporting the high-res model from ZBrush, reconstructing the low-res meshes, creating the UV’s for all of the meshes, baking out all of the maps (3ds Max and xNormal), creating all of the textures, using real-time viewport shaders, and rendering out the final for your portfolio. This DVD is geared to improve your workflow by helping you understand what is expected of professionals in the field today.

Gnomonology - AFRICAN WOMAN ZBursh Tutorials I-IV


This demonstration is a four hour timelapse of the entire making of the African Woman by Rick Baker. There is no audio. Rick begins with a simple humanoid torso basemesh from which he sculpts the woman. The final result consists of several subtools that originate from mesh extractions.
The demo is made with Zbrush 3.1 , therefore the interface looks a
little different from the final release.
