DIGITALTUTORS Your First Day in 3ds Max
English | Size: 762.53 MB
Category: 3D


In this series of tutorials we’ll learn how to quickly get up and running with modeling, texturing, lighting and rendering in 3ds Max.

We’ll start off by learning how to navigate in the viewports and how to create basic shapes using splines. Then we’ll jump into some basic modeling techniques like duplicating, attaching and smoothing geometry. After that, we’ll discuss some of the most commonly used modeling tools like extrude, bridge, chamfer and inset. Then we’ll take a look at the process of unwrapping the UVs of the arcade cabinet to allow us to apply a custom texture.

Ready to take your graphics to the next level? Get up and running with OpenGL, the cross-language, multiplatform API for rendering 2D and 3D computer graphics. OpenGL is widely used in CAD, virtual reality, scientific visualization, and video games, where it is particularly useful for game developers who benefit from its hardware-accelerated rendering and advanced programmable pipeline. In this course, Pablo Colapinto will show you how to render real-time content, starting with building a window for your graphics with the GFLW library. Then he’ll focus on drawing in 2D and 3D with both the legacy immediate mode and the more modern method of using buffer objects. Plus, learn about texturing and lighting with the GLSL shading language, and accepting keyboard and mouse input for increased interactivity. Start accelerating your graphics with OpenGL today.

English | Size: 1,56 GB
Category: Digital Tutors


In this tutorial we will learn to light and render a highly detailed Sci-Fi character using V-Ray, Maya and NUKE. WeÆll look at the steps required to setup V- Ray lights using camera projection techniques. To start we will use V-RayLightRect to setup a simple scene. Along the way we will use camera projection techniques to setup the lighting for our Sci-Fi hero, finally we will create precomps/lighting comps using NUKE. By the end of this tutorial you will have a solid understanding of the workflows that are required to light, render and precomp a highly detailed Sci- fi character.
