Autodesk ® Maya ® - a powerful integrated solution for three-dimensional modeling, animation, visual effects and visualization, the award-winning Academy Award ® (Oscar). Built on open architecture, all your work can be written in the form of scripts or programmed using well-documented and comprehensive set of programs for the Developer (SDK), allowing you to freely exercise their creative vision.

If you watched the first video, you now have a good grasp on Python. Sweet. Let's plow through some more involved concepts like python juggernauts!
With a working knowledge of the python scripting language, and the Maya Python commands API, we can continue to learn new ways to solve more challenging problems, create complete scripts, and build user interfaces around our tools. We also introduce the Maya Python API; a lower-level interface into Maya.

Marlin Studios Collection - this over 5000 textures (almost all the textures seamless) and 2000 photoreferences needed any visualizer, designer and just carried about 2d/3d graphics artists.

Creating textures from scratch can prove a challenge to even the most experienced texturing artists, let alone those who are new to the craft. Most artists like to have a library of references in addition to high-resolution photographs and images to begin their textures, to incorporate into their own textures.

This group of models, with limited access, higher quality from the other models. "Profi" model is only author and a unique model. "PROFI" model - the high polygonal model, superimposed with the correct materials and customized textures. Distinct and qualitatively rendered preview.

In this series of lessons, we will be taking a detailed look at each of the commands found in Mayas Proxy menu.
Each video in this course is a self-contained lesson centering on one of the commands found in the Proxy menu in Maya. This means that these lessons can be viewed in any order you wish, allowing you to jump straight to the content that is most relevant to you. Over the course of these lessons, well take a detailed look at each of the Proxy commands and how each of them can be used to speed up our workflow.

This disk contains the following tutorials:
- the second part of the Lamborghini tutorial
- a comprehensive introduction to NURBS modeling
- two step by step NURBS modeling tutorials

This making of demonstration and lecture began with the decision to take a personal sketch, develop it in 3D and produce a life-size print. This would require the development of high-resolution detail and textures that could hold up to a 4000x6000 pixel render, effectively making Jester a film-res character. Observe and listen as Alex shares his workflow, thought process and techniques.

The latest Learning Tools from Alias pack powerful Maya techniques for developing, modeling, and rigging cartoon characters into three DVDs that make up the SuperToon Series now available at home site. Jeff Bernstein of Disney Feature Animation tackles SuperToon Modeling and Body Rigging, Joe Harkins of Sony Pictures Imageworks takes on SuperToon Facial Rigging, and Randy Haycock and Chris Cordingley of Disney Feature Animation share their experience in SuperToon Animation.

Learn how to create advanced fluid effects in Maya resulting in extraordinary realism with 3.5 hours of interactive training. Great for intermediate and advanced users.

In this DVD, Darin takes you through the production and completion of a camera projected 3D Matte painting using Autodesk Maya and Adobe Photoshop®. Darin covers the essential techniques and solutions for 3D matte painting as he progresses from rough concept to modeling, rendering and creating the painting in Photoshop®. After bringing the finished matte painted layers back into Maya, he describes how to apply them in the scene.

This tutorial provides a detailed demonstration of how to approach outdoor lighting for any time of day. We begin by discussing the nature of outdoor light, the sun, the sky, shadows and the use of reference material. In Maya we focus on a direct illumination approach utilizing both the native renderer and Mental Ray, while also discussing the use of skyDomes, bounce light, raytracing, optiFX, Final Gather and Ambient Occlusion. Various times of day are created, including morning, noon, afternoon, evening and night.
