SUB-D CREATURE MODELING
In this DVD Dominic will take you through an advanced and structured approach to Sub-Division based creature modelling. He lays the foundation with a well planned and analyzed set of concept sketches that allow him to plan his models form from the outset. From here he builds the model in three distinct stages, with each stage forming a solid foundation for the next. Finally he takes you through some adjustments steps that give his model that extra realism and to ensure it functions well within a production pipeline.
This DVD is ideal for intermediate and above modellers with a firm understanding of the principles of Sub-Division modelling. Its an invaluable learning resource for modellers working within any production discipline.
CREATURE UV UNWRAPPING
In this DVD Dominic Qwek will guide you through a fast and efficient workflow for unwrapping the UV’s on a complex organic creature mesh (the creature he modelled in his Advanced Modelling DVD). The DVD is structured in two halves, in the first half Dominic covers the “traditional” workflow used in 3dsmax 7.0 and earlier releases. And in the second half Dominic moves on to show how the new features of 3dsmax 8.0 such as Pelt Mapping and its enhanced Relax Tools can be used to accelerate and complement the processes shown in the first section of the DVD.
This DVD is intended for advanced users and requires an understanding of the principles of UVs and a good working knowledge of the UV Unwrap tool featured in 3dsmax. The workflows on this DVD can to a large extent also be carried across to other 3d software such as Maya and XSI.
