Inthis collection of lessons we will use a project-based approach tolearn about modeling tools and techniques in Maya. In this course, wewill get an introductory look at the modeling process in Maya. We willuse a project-based approach as we cover the basics of modeling, look atcommonly used tools, and talk about some time-saving tips andtechniques gleaned from production experience. We will begin by lookingat the various types of geometry available to you and how you canactually convert between those different types. You will learn how toorganize your model into hierarchies and keep your scene clean andefficient. We will also take a look at several modeling tools, includingpolygonal tools like extrude and the insert edge loop tool for addingresolution, NURBS tools like loft and extrude to create smooth surfaces,and a few subd tools as well. We will take a look at using a smoothingor subdivision workflow and use deformers to help shape our models. Weare going to take a slightly different approach to this introductioncourse, in that we are not going to talk about all of the Maya modelingtools, but rather focus on the tools that you are going to find mostuseful as you begin the modeling process. Once you have a betterunderstanding of how these tools work together, you will be able tocreate your own modeling solutions and really come up with a workflowthat is comfortable to you.?

In this series of lessons, we will help you get a strong understanding of Maya and how it works. You’ll get the chance to work with many of the Maya instructors here at Digital-Tutors who will show you how to use some of the major components of Maya.

Complex animations are generally simulated procedurally rather than animated by hand. For example, if you want realistic collisions, a Rigid Body simulation is the way to go. It would take too long to keyframe many colliding objects by hand, and it would be difficult to achieve convincing results. In this hour-long series of eight free videos, you’ll learn how to simulate the movement and collision of objects. Maya’s Rigid Body dynamics engine calculates the physics to save you time! The catapult exercise is a classic introduction to Rigid Body dynamics, covering active and passive bodies, constraints, solver settings, and baking the simulation to keyframes.

The Maya of Central America were the greatest pyramid builders of the ancient world. The Egyptians built less than a 100 pyramids--the Maya built thousands. But what was the significance of these towering structures? Determined to solve the meaning of the Mayan pyramids, host and explorer Josh Bernstein sets out on a remarkable journey that takes him from the great Mayan cities of Southern Mexico to the hinterland of Guatemala. Josh explores ancient tombs, dives in flooded caverns, and shoots whitewater rapids. Finally, he reaches a secret place in the high jungle of Guatemala where a mountain, a cave, and a river converge. Its here, according to the Maya, that the world was born, and its this mystical place upon which all Mayan pyramids are modeled.

This training product is designed for anyone who needs to learn professional next-gen game development with the powerful Unity3D engine. This training title focuses on advanced techniques for game modeling while using a mixed pipeline between the Unity game engine, Autodesk Maya, and ZBrush. Users are shown professional methods and workflows to create realtime low polygon models, as well as using subdivision surfaces to create high resolution models, design philosophies, and game development concepts. Being an important facet of todays production pipeline, users are also taught how to take advantage of ZBrush to import low polygon objects and sculpt them into extremely high resolution models that can be used to bake normal maps and extract details that can be used within the Unity engine in realtime, thus increasing the quality and realism of games made with Unity. Artistic methods are shown to create high quality work, while technical points are covered in order to adhere to important technical limitations that game artists have to follow in order to produce high quality content that is performance friendly. Users are shown the entire process and production pipeline on how to design and create objects from scratch, create high resolution sculpts, and finally how to transfer details from millions of polygons onto a low resolution model. Data Asset Exchange is also covered, showing how to properly work with and transfer game assets between Maya, ZBrush, and Unity as easily and efficiently as possible, a process than can usually be difficult and unpredictable. Students and aspiring game developers will be exposed to professional workflows and understand how to work in a mixed pipeline environment for game modeling. Advanced users and professionals will be able to learn time saving and efficient techniques for completing difficult modeling tasks as efficiently as possible and learn the advantages of integrating Maya, ZBrush, and Unity into their studios production pipeline.

In this series of lessons we’ll learn how to take a basic render scene and add textures, render it and composite it into a finished shot. Well be covering all the steps needed to take a plain render and make it better. We’ll begin this project by creating a procedural dirt shader for our ground cover. Then well hop into Photoshop to create a photographic texture for our road. Well then add some detail using more procedural textures to break up the edges of the road and create a broken concrete feel. From there we will set up a particle system for our tires and create render layers and passes. Finally we will composite our shot using the Maya Precomp feature and Maya Composite. Well learn how to color correct our passes, add various blurs and composite everything together into an integrated shot.

The Maya created the most sophisticated calendar systems in the ancient world, and according to many scholars their Long Count Calendar will come to an end on December 21, 2012. What does this mean for mankind? Some researchers believe it will usher in the return of Bolon Yokte–a mysterious god associated with creation and war. Could this god actually be an extraterrestrial as some ancient astronaut theorists believe? Other scholars believe the end of the calendar will bring about a series of catastrophic events that may threaten the very existence of mankind. They point to a rare galactic alignment that will coincide with the end of the Mayan calendar as proof of an impending geological catastrophe. If these doomsday prophecies prove to be true, will it mean the end of the world as we know it? Or could it reveal some profound truth about the origins of the human race?

In this DVD Zack Petroc presents a modern approach to digital sculpting that includes technical discussions, and features in-depth techniques for adding life and realism to your characters.
