Artstation – Mechanical Skull – Michael Pavlovich
English | Size:
Category: Tutorial

We start by using 2D reference to help us make a gorilla skull in ZBrush, turn that into a mechanical version using a variety of techniques, from sculpting to SubD modeling, booleans, alphas, and more! From there we create a “game res” showing a variety of overlapping techniques using ZBrush, Maya, and HeadUs (although most techniques are transferable to your 3D package of choice). While doing this we discuss best practices for UV seams and vertex costs, balancing fidelity with optimization, and finally end up in Marmoset Toolbag to discuss baking mesh maps. [Read more…]

Yiihuu – Hard Surface Modeling & Mechanical Material Production
English | Size: 24.3GB
Category: Tutorial

As for this course, it’s an epitome of the instructor’s modeling experience for over a decade. As a model artist and photographer, the instructor will not only introduce the key to modeling in 3ds Max, but also share his unique perspective on light settings. You will learn to build a high-poly model for hard surfaces, to apply Vray materials and light settings, and to composite images in Photoshop. After this course, you will acquire the modelling skill for hard surfaces, which will benefit your future production. [Read more…]

AutoCAD Mechanical includes the best of AutoCAD along with industry-specific libraries of parts and tools for mechanical engineering, making it a must-learn application for anyone involved in the design and construction of machinery. This course covers the basics of the user interface and leads you step-by-step through producing the kind of precise, measured mechanical drawings that form the basis of mechanical engineering design. Shaun Bryant teaches you how to structure your drawings and data, create and edit geometry, generate parts from the library, and annotate your drawings. Once your designs are adequately detailed, he shows how to create documentation and perform design calculations you’ll need for manufacturing. Last but not least, learn how to create templates that are customized to suit your AutoCAD Mechanical workflow, complete with layers, properties, and parts lists. [Read more…]

3DMotive – Mechanical Assets in 3ds Max Volume 1
English | Size: 2.4GB
Category: CBTs


In this course we will be looking on how to create a 3d asset from start to finish. We will be focusing on creating a asset that is focused on being for games by using the correct texture and optimization techniques. We will be going over on how to create a proper high poly and low poly in 3ds max and then on how to uv unwrap our low poly and prepare our scene for baking our normal and AO map. We will then export everything out of 3ds max and we will start by baking our texture maps using xnormal. We will go over the best settings in xnormal to minimize any baking errors and for the very few errors that are left we will go over on how to solve those by hand. Once all our textures are baked we will start by setting up our scene in substance painter and we will start texturing our model. In substance painter we will go over on how to use materials, fill layers, generators and other techniques to create the final texture for our asset. We will then go into Marmoset Toolbag where we will render our final model and create a nice beauty shot of it. [Read more…]
