In this training series, we will focus on using the DJI Mavic 2 pro as well as traditional DSLRs to capture a data set for...

If you find yourself animating creatures that fly, slither, and grow along a spline very often, it makes sense to create a system to set up these kinds of actions with minimal effort. In this course, we will learn how to leverage Python to design a tool in Maya that will allow you attach objects to a curve in a more efficient manner with greater control. We'll start the tutorial by prototyping our tool, to manually connect items to a path. From there, we'll build a simplified version of the tool, and end the course by designing an intuitive UI to make the system user-friendly. So if you’re an Intermediate to Advanced Maya user that would...

We'll begin this series by covering all the steps necessary to generate good UV's for texturing, spending extra time discussing multi-tile UV workflows using a combination of Zbrush, Maya, and headus UV layout. From there we will move into Mari, and discuss all of the major pallets starting with the Lighting and object tabs. From there we will continue on through the plethora of masking options taking extra care to discuss the paint buffer, and how to make sure we're getting the most out of our texture painting, We will cover various methods of blending our textures and using things like ambient occlusion, before diving into the many procedural textures and noises available in Mari. Then its on the the heart of the matter where we go over different texture painting techniques using a combination of hand painted textures using the built in brush sets, as well as using photographs...
