Linkedin Learning Learning Pix4D Drone Mapping
English | Size: 1.88 GB
Category: Tutorial


Pix4D is a leader in small unmanned aerial system (sUAS or “drone”) photogrammetry, building software that enables users to analyze complex image data and create orthomosaics and 3D models, all from photographs. With a drone, a camera, and the powerful processing engine in Pix4D, the science of photogrammetry is accessible to just about anyone. In this course, you can learn the basics of using Pix4D. Instructor Paul Tice explains how Pix4D pairs with different drones and cameras, and then shows how to program simple 2D missions for your drone with Pix4Dcapture. He then shows how to prepare for flight and retrieve the data and imagery once your drone has landed. In the last few chapters, Paul dives into Pix4D Desktop, where he shows how to process your data and produce outputs such as point clouds, 3D maps, and models. Plus, learn how to deal with large projects and turn the power of Pix4D onto architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) data, such as 3D building scans. [Read more…]

Mind Mapping Mastery
English | Size: 805.77 MB
Category: Tutorial


What you’ll learn
organise – quickly organise your thoughts, ideas or goals using mind maps
plan – quickly plan an event, a speech, an article, a business or marketing plan
rehearse and deliver – mind mapping is particularly good for rehearsing your talks and presentations
clarify – mind mapping helps you to be more clear in your thinking, helps you see the wood for the trees
think differently – once you have learnt to mind map effectively you will find that your mental approach to issues or ideas will be fundamentally different. Mind Mapping provides the scaffolding for a completely different set of mental processes and taps into the multitasking capability of the subconscious mind
enhance your learning – Everyone today has to continually take on board new information and learn new ways of working. Mind mapping (when done properly) accelerates both the learning and understanding of new information, and helps with retention and recall. [Read more…]

Pluralsight – UV Mapping Game Characters in Maya
English | Size: 1.5GB
Category: Tutorial


Nobody wants to see a flat gray character running around in a game unless it’s by design. More than likely the character you’re creating will need some sort of texture applied to it which will add to the it’s visual appeal. Creating UV layouts is an absolute prerequisite for a game character before any textures can be painted and applied. In this course, UV Mapping Game Characters in Maya, you’ll dive into the process of creating UVs for a multi-material character who is bound for Unity. First, you’ll go learn how to understand and plan for your UVs. Next, you’ll discover how to create UVs for the hair, body, and for the clothing. Finally, you’ll explore overlapping UVs and texel density. By the end of this course, you’ll have a better understanding on UV mapping game characters in Maya. Required software: Maya 2018.

Pluralsight – 3ds Max UV Mapping Fundamentals
English | Size: 1.2GB
Category: Tutorial


When looking to move an asset from the modeling phase of a pipeline to texturing, there is an important step that must be taken so textures can be created for the asset: a UV layout must be created. This process of unwrapping a 3D object into 2D space has been around for quite some time but is still widely used in several industries. In this course, 3ds Max UV Mapping Fundamentals, you’ll get up to speed and productive in no time when it comes to laying out UVs in 3ds Max. First, you’ll start by learning about several different forms of projection that can be used as a starting point in the creation of UVs. Next, you’ll explore how to start to combine different forms of projection for more complex shapes.
