Product Details Discover how to generate complex-looking trees using SpeedTree and Houdini, with this intermediate-level tutorial by Jean-Michel Bihorel. Starting from simple generating rules before deep-diving into more advanced areas of tree generation in SpeedTree and Houdini, Jean-Michel teaches every step needed to generate a hero tree asset — perfect for use in a cinematic.  Throughout the workshop, Jean-Michel shares how to create a mixture of hand-drawn branches extended by procedural generators, as well as how to use the mesh forces for realistic results. He also reveals how to set up and export a leaf as a point cloud in Houdini in order to manage a more optimized setup, as well as great procedural control over the leaf geometry generation and placement based on the direction of the sun.  For those that don't want to export their tree assets to Houdini, Jean-Michel also provides guidance for exporting your trees into other software — in this case, Maya — along with advice for how to get your shaders working in other software packages.

Pascal Blanché | Duration: 3:50 h | Video: H264 1920x1080 | Audio: AAC 44,1 kHz 2ch | 5,14 GB | Language: English
In this workshop, Senior Art Director and Illustrator Pascal Blanché guides you through his entire process of creating an illustration in his signature style. Pascal starts the creative process by gathering reference images and inspiration through sci-fi and fantasy. Using 3ds Max, he begins by posing a base character model followed by a kit bashing session to block-out the overall design. He then refines his character and assets with a detailed sculpting pass in ZBrush. Pascal takes the model into KeyShot for materials, lighting and rendering, then moves into Photoshop for final 2D adjustments. Using various passes and blending techniques, the image comes together through a creative methodology that Pascal has fine-tuned over time; one that results in a powerful, non-photoreal, style reminiscent of comics and 80s fantasy illustration. For those looking to explore efficient and creative techniques that combine 2D and 3D tools, this title offers a glimpse into the creative workflow of one of the industry's most revered artists.

Syd Mead | Duration: 2h 02m | Video: H264 1920x1080 | Audio: AAC 44,1 kHz mono | 2,84 GB | Language: English
In this demonstration, legendary designer Syd Mead shares his techniques to create a finished illustration of a futuristic Airship. Image making requires the next step from mastering drawing skill and technique. To produce a sense of 'being there' combines drawing and technique skills with a visceral illusion called 'presence.' Without these elements coming successfully together, the finished image will look stilted, contrived and unbelievable. Painting with guache, a classic opaque watercolor pigment that dries with a matte finish, Syd discusses the medium, brushes and guides, while sharing his thoughts on the creation of a successful design illustration that is imbued with presence. As the process unfolds, Syd emphasizes how he effectively creates the illusion of reality through the almost abstract representation of various natural and mechanical detail. With clear vision, inspired by imagination and knowledge of the familiar, a plausible future reality comes together at the hands of a master draftsman, designer and artist.
