Gnomon workshop - Matchmoving Advanced Production Techniques



In this DVD, Tim Dobbert takes you through the more advanced aspects of matchmoving and camera tracking. He discusses how to use survey data to force a camera solution to fit a pre-built environment and how to use camera tracking for paint work. He also covers blending, enhancing and extending match- moved cameras. Tim shows you how to prepare for a live-action shoot and how to get the right information once you're on-set. There's also a section on advanced object tracking that shows how to use an object's motion to create a camera move. And finally, he covers the tricky problem of lens distortion and how it affects the visual effects workflow. Tim uses a variety of software packages for this lecture including Maya, Boujou, MatchMover, SynthEyes and After Effects.

Gnomon Workshop - Matchmoving Object Tracking in Production



In visual effects work, it is common to have an element in the live-action footage that needs to be tracked. This is often the case when you need to add an effect to an actor's face, attach a CG object to a moving vehicle, or even add lip sync to an animal's performance. In this DVD, Tim Dobbert shows you how to track an object's motion using matchmoving software. You'll learn how to use the solution to drive an object's animation in Maya and how to properly evaluate your results. He'll also show you advanced object tracking techniques such as how to solve for an object's motion when the camera is also in motion, and how to invert the camera's motion with that of the object. Tim uses a variety of software packages for this lecture including Maya, Boujou, MatchMover and After Effects.

Gnomon Workshop - Matchmoving Essential Production Techniques



In this DVD, Tim Dobbert walks you through the steps involved in a typical production-level matchmove, also known as camera tracking. In order to integrate CG elements with live-action footage, the essential first step is to align the 3D camera with the real-world camera. Tim demonstrates how matchmoving software uses photogrammetry to reproduce the camera-move and how to get the best results possible. The DVD covers all aspects of the matchmoving pipeline from 2D tracking and calibration, right through to placing the camera in an environment and delivering the final scene. The lecture also emphasizes how to trouble- shoot the tracking solution when things don't go well and how to choose the best workflow for the shot. Tim uses a variety of software packages for this lecture including Maya, Boujou, MatchMover and After Effects.

The Modeling of Chaos



This is a 20+ hours realtime video tutorial covering concept, modeling, texturing, sculpting, materials, lighting, rendering and post - the whole process from start to finish.
Applications used: 3dsmax, zbrush, ps and mr

The lessons show the progress from cube to fully textured, sculpted, rendered head.
We explore modeling techniques

for:
easy and fast head production,
head texturing (normal, mutated and lava covered, in photoshop and zapplin),
sculpting (freestyle and based on texture detail),
model and utility map exporting (normal,cavity,displacement) and finally
rendering (displacement, sss, lighting, final gather settings)

Various stages and the final models,
textures are included in the lesson for further study and manipulation. Useful for both game and film cg.

This isn't a very strong piece of art, but while talking and showing the whole process without skipping steps I sacrificed some freedom and experimentation so I consider it done and cool for the purpose it was made for.




Gnomon Workshop-Character Modeling for Next-Gen Games



In this DVD, Richard Smith guides you through modeling a Next-Gen game character. Richard starts with a rough concept design and then creates a low-res base mesh. From there he sculpts each part in ZBrush with special attention paid to creating realistic clothing folds. Once each part is completely sculpted Richard retopologizes it inside of Maya using a plug-in called Nex. Finally, using XNormal he creates the normal map and then sets everything up in Maya. This DVD is intended for artists with a basic understanding of polygon modeling in Maya, but the techniques he demonstrates could be applied using other 3D modeling software.

Lynda.com 2D Character Animation

All animators must learn to walk before they can run. In 2D Character Animation, industry expert George Maestri teaches the basic principles every animator must know to build a foundation for more complex work. These principles are relevant regardless of software used or animation style. George explains how good animation depends on a firm knowledge of the laws of motion, which inform the principles of animation. He teaches the basics of creating characters, squash and stretch, pose-to-pose animation, walking and running, track reading, and dialogue animation. He also shows how to use After Effects and Flash to apply the tools learned in the course. Exercise files accompany this course.

Gnomon Master Class 2 - Dark and Stormy Nightmares: The Art of Dreaming on Paper



Every night, we sleep and dream amazing stories, populated with beautifully crafted characters, all perfectly modeled, animated, lit, and rendered, and speaking dialogue that could have been written by a pro. And every morning, we wake and convince ourselves that we don't have the skills to do this.

Join veteran storyteller and artist Iain McCaig as he shows you how to tap into your dream-mind while wide awake, enticing your nighttime storyteller to grab a pencil and dream on paper. All participants will leave with the bones of their own original story, and the tools they need to bring it to life. Previous drawing or storytelling skills are NOT required.

Gnomon Master Class 2009 - Drawing from Design by Feng Zhu




We work in a production and profit-oriented industry. The designs we do everyday will eventually make their way down the pipeline and become a product of some kind. Thus, as concept designers, one of the biggest challenges we face is to deliver original ideas which are not only cool, but that will also generate revenue for our clients. Typical clients always want something new yet generic enough to put to market. It’s our job to balance this fine line.

For this master class, I’ll demonstrate a few methods I use when approaching new designs. The goal is to come up with some cool stuff which looks different, yet is familiar enough to sell.

Gnomon Master Class 2009 - Creature and Character Design by Neville Page



Unique design can be an elusive target. The goal of this class is to explore new methods for designing creatures and characters. A variety of techniques will be shared that are based on strong foundational skills.

Gnomon Master Class 2009 - CG Survival Toolkit by Jeremy Cook



Working hard and working smart are not the same thing. This lecture is geared towards intermediate to beginner audiences. We'll cover how to make artists work more efficiently and make smarter decisions.

Learn to work smart in a small and generalist pipeline, with speed in mind and making decisions based on your final output and time allowed. Knowing when and where to cut corners is a vital skill as most people over-build, over-think and over-work. There's no such thing as cheating when you're up against a deadline.

General Topics

* Conceptualizing, layout strategies and keeping your final output in mind
* Planning your shot
* Keeping your 3D models simple with low poly counts
* Digital matte strategies
* Rendering passes for compositing in Photoshop
* Polishing your final image

Modeling Topics

* Saving time by only modeling what's in view
* Working holistically
* Keeping your details to scale
* Using junkyards
* Organization planning

Texturing and lighting Topics

* Starting simple and adding complexity as needed

Rendering in Passes: The Basic 3 (Gobal Illumination, Diffusion and Specularity)

Photoshop Topics

* Using passes
* Painting in the passes
* Painting with images
* Color balance
* Photo effects

Gnomon Master Class 2009 - Creature Development by Alex Alvarez



Doing pre-production 3D creature development in collaboration with a designer is mostly about ideation and exploration. In this capacity it is also important to have a generalist's skill-set that includes modeling, texturing, shading, rigging, lighting, animation, integration, effects and most importantly, speed. For example, being able to rig, animate and render a creature animation in a day. Granted it will be rough, but it helps guide the design process.

Just as a sketch can still convey an idea without being fully rendered, a 3D artist can also use their toolsets to block-out a designer's 2D concepts in order to explore a design's form and function. In this workshop I will discuss this process and the diverse range of tools, in Maya, that I regularly use on such projects with an emphasis on shortcuts that speed up workflow.

Gnomon Master Class 2009 - Music Video Post-Production by Ergin Kuke



Ergin Kuke will discuss the methods, pipeline, budgeting and client expectation management of 3d/post production work in a small studio environment. Case studies on 3 music videos will be covered: Anjulie's "Boom" (MTV Music Award's Best Newcomer Artist Video), Regina Spektor's "Laughing with God" and Beyonce's "Sweet Dreams".

The music video industry is not the huge money maker it used to be. One of the reasons they still get done is as a creative outlet and a means to "make a name" for the studios and directors involved. It tends to be a more freely creative environment, especially when young musicians and bands are in play.

Budgets are tight, deadlines are very tight and managing the layers between production houses, directors, musicians, music labels and the post-production house is a risky business. How to actually get the job, what creative input does the post production company have, budgeting of time and money, managing client expectations, pipelines and delivery methods.

Ergin will go over 3 case studies and explain how a 3-5 man studio finished 6 music videos in 2 and a half months. Results are sometimes great and sometimes less than great. Successes and shortcomings will be analyzed in an attempt to share the experiences and what was learned from them.
