Moose Peterson is well-known for his wildlife and landscape photography, but few have known about his passion for aviation – until now. Join Moose on location at the Florida International Air Show as he teaches you the finer points of “static” and “ground-to-air” photography, as well as portraiture and panning shots. Even if you don’t share Moose’s passion for flight, this photography course covers techniques, equipment, and camera settings that can be used in multiple situations – especially when trying to convey motion. In the post-processing phase, Moose shows you how to take what he taught you to shoot right in the field and get it through the digital darkroom quickly so you can get back to shooting.

The Knoll Light Factory Pro & Editors Training DVD covers one of the worlds most chosen motion graphics tools, used by 1000s to create light effects called flares. Flares simulate reflections from a very bright light source as seen in a camera lens. In the digital graphics world, they are most often used to simulate the sun or other light sources, enhance text or logos, or intensify special effects shots like explosions.

Adobe Illustrator can be used to accomplish many different design tasks, from illustration to app development. This course demonstrates core concepts and techniques that can be applied to any workflow—for print, the web, or building assets that will find their way into other applications. Author Justin Seeley explains the elements that make up vector graphics (paths, strokes, and fills) while showing how to use each of the drawing tools, and demonstrates how to combine and clean up paths and organize them into groups and layers. The course also covers text editing, working with color, effects, and much more.

Learn how to automate common processes in Adobe Photoshop from creating actions and batch processing, to creating Droplets. This class will teach you how to use your time more efficiently and leverage some of the new features of Photoshop CS6.

Video 01 - Modeling and Medium Resolution Sculpting
(Total Run Time: 25m)
modo 301 comes with a range of new sculpting tools that allow you to model organic forms very quickly and intuitively. In this video we start with a simple model created with Solid Sketch, and then by using a combination of mesh sculpting and image based sculpting we develop the shape of a seahorse. Many of the sculpting tools are used, including Push, Smooth, Carve, Move, and Tangent Pinch.
Video 02 - High Resolution Sculpting and Colour Map Painting

Texturing with nodes is very different than the traditional layered based methods LightWave 3D users are used to. While extremely powerful, nodes can also be very difficult to understand, even for experienced artists. James Willmott has completed his first video training in his series on nodes. The focus of this video is not to teach you how James used nodes but rather to show you how nodes work so you can design and create your own node based textures and surfaces.

Dive Into iOS teaches you how to build iPhone and iPad applications, with no programming or Objective-C knowledge required. Through succinct video screencast tutorials, bite-sized podcasts and PDF slides, the unique teaching style will allow you to develop an iOS application using Xcode in no time.

Eliminate Distractions from Your Photos No matter how careful you are when capturing your photographic images, there are going to be issues that you find later — whether it’s little spots or blemishes, or bigger problems like color casts or chromatic aberration. In this workshop, Tim Grey shares his techniques for cleaning up your images with Photoshop. After getting an overview of image-cleanup concepts and tools, you’ll learn how to remove spots, correct color problems, eliminate noise, fix red eye, and much more. Tim also shares advanced techniques like making gradient adjustments, extending the frame, and using multiple exposures to remove people from an image. After completing this workshop, you’ll know how to remove distractions in an image that keep your genius from shining through

Photographers have recently started experimenting with creating video on their DSLR cameras. The only problem with this has been that no one really wants to go out and learn another program to edit and produce this video. Now, in Photoshop CS6 you have the power to make a compelling video with images using a familiar tool. RC Concepcion will take you through, step by step to create an appealing video, right inside of Photoshop.

Explore and exciting wave of possibilities with the newly enhanced 3D features in Photoshop CS6 Extended. With these new performance enhancements, implementing 3D into your design work has never been easier or more fun! Join Corey as he shows you how to hit the ground running with these newly enhanced and intuitive features. If you haven’t started experimenting with 3D yet, now is the time!

This series gives thorough tour of Corel?s digital painting software program, Painter X.
Students learn how to utilize and manipulate all of the tools offered, including the mixing palette, color wheel, brushes, eyedropper, clone brush, and vector tools. The student is also shown how to customize the program to their individual needs. A demonstration of real life media and paper is shown to compare Corel?s digital versions found in the program. These media can be digitally altered to manipulate size, opacity, grain, saturation, jitter, and bleed within the program, giving more control than the standard pen on paper. See how to use hardware such as a Wacom tablet or special pen tool. Finally, a full portrait is digitally painted.

In this course we will use the Graphite modeling tools to build a football helmet in 3ds Max.
A big challenge when building hard surface models that have curves and contours is adding resolution without introducing unwanted changes in the shape. The Graphite Modeling toolset has a number of tools we can use to solve this problem. In this course we will explore the use of these tools by building a football helmet. Well be able to quickly create and modify hard surface geometry using tools like Set Flow and Flow Connect that will maintain the curvature of the mesh. Upon completion, youll have a better understanding of some of the modeling tools in 3ds max and how you can put those tools to use in creating well shaped geometry with clean topology for your own projects.

Java remains a scalable, object oriented, general purpose programming language, but it has moved beyond its days of simplicity.
