This is the first of a two-part course, which teaches how to use Autodesk Maya and Unreal Engine 5 to create a photorealistic cinematic short of a Ford Mustang in an urban city environment. The course covers material authoring, look development, lighting, virtual cinematography, and high-quality render settings in Unreal Engine.

Liam is an Australian based Senior VFX artist, who has been in the 3D industry since 2003. He has worked on various projects over the past 18 years including most recently the photoreal canyon environments for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney Plus, and the hollow earth environments for Godzilla vs Kong, as well as VFX work on other upcoming high profile feature films and episodic series.

During this course I will show you how to create a scene inspired by The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.The goal of this course is to show you, step by step, how to create an inspired environment from scratch.From the creation of the vegetation with Speedtree 9 to the final composition on UE5.1. We will see the creation of textures with Quixel Mixer, terrain to dress the background of our scene with Gaea (optional) and we will create all the necessary shaders to get the maximum quality. And we will finish with the 4k renders with the Movie Render Queue. More details below.What I will learn?In Speedtree 9:Create serval Next-gen trees with hybrid logic (structure with Nanite and foliage with common LODs/Imposter)Create 3d branches to use as texturesCreate an atlas to combine several parts in a single textureCreate ground foliage models optimized for realtime rendering.In UE5:Complex shaders for trunk, foliage, terrain & Megascans assets.Advanced terrain shader with distance blend texture, Parallax Occlusion Mapping, RVT, automatic logic and spawn foliage with mask.Complete composition (Procedural Placement, lighting, vfx...)Create renders with the Movie Render QueueIn Quixel Mixer:Create multiple advanced textures with and without animated puddles in UE5Export with the correct packed texturesIn Gaea:Create some terrains used to dress the background of our sceneExport masks to use them for texturing in UE5In Photoshop:Replace colors of some texturesEnhance the qualityCombine masksWhich chapters are available?Aspen Trees (Complete Creation) - (7h26)Bark & Foliage advanced Shader - (2h35)Pine Trees (Complete Creation) - (6h55)Variations & Saplings for Aspen & Pine - (3h)Complex Landscape Shader & Quixel Mixer Textures (UE5.1) - (4h47)Ground Foliage (Speedtree 9) - (7h25)Scene Creation (Part 1) - (2h52)Distant Terrain + Shader (Gaea / UE5.1) - (1h10)Megascans Advanced Shader (UE5.1) - (1h05)Scene Creation (Part 2) (UE5.1) - (7h27)Decals Shader (UE5.1) - (51m)Adding Wind on Foliage (Speedtree 9 / UE5.1) - (1h24)Simple Particles (Ambient Dust / Moving Pollen...)

The Declassification Engine: What History Reveals About America's Top Secrets (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B09YK1WJ4Z | 2023 | 15 hours and 55 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 438 MB
Author: Matthew Connelly
Narrator: Chris Henry Coffey
Every day, thousands of new secrets are created by the United States government. What is all this secrecy really for? And whom does it benefit? Before World War II, transparent government was a proud tradition in the United States. In all but the most serious of circumstances, classification, covert operations, and spying were considered deeply un-American. But after the war, the power to decide what could be kept secret proved too tempting to give up. Since then, we have radically departed from that open tradition, allowing intelligence agencies, black sites, and classified laboratories to grow unchecked.

DtSearch Desktop provides instant searching of desktop-accessible files. dtSearch can instantly search terabytes of text because it builds a search index that stores the location of words in documents. Indexing is easy - simply select folders or entire drives to index and dtSearch does the rest. Once dtSearch has built an index, it can automatically update it using the Windows Task Scheduler to reflect additions, deletions and modifications to your document collection. Updating an index is even faster, since dtSearch will check each file, and only reindex files that have been added or changed.
