In this 10 part series, I introduce you to the new character BC Baker and how his rig works, including shape keys and drivers. We look into the different tools for animation in Blender, namely the Action Editor, Pose Library, and Non-Linear Action (NLA) editor.

In this series of lessons we re going to be using random seeds to generate variations on one animation system using a SOP solver with DOPs.

In this training, you?ll learn the basics of feature film style character animation.

With the introduction of Blender 2.5-2.6, we are very excited to be one of the first to offer a complete, introductory, video training bundle to the Blender community.

In this series of lessons we?ll learn how to take a basic render scene and add textures, render it and composite it into a finished shot. We ll be covering all the steps needed to take a plain render and make it better. We?ll begin this project by creating a procedural dirt shader for our ground cover. Then we ll hop into Photoshop to create a photographic texture for our road. We ll then add some detail using more procedural textures to break up the edges of the road and create a broken concrete feel. From there we will set up a particle system for our tires and create render layers and passes. Finally we will composite our shot using the Maya Precomp feature and Maya Composite. We ll learn how to color correct our passes, add various blurs and composite everything together into an integrated shot.

You?ll begin by learning the custom props workflow in Source and basics of 3D animation in Autodesk?s Maya 8.

Core Animation adds that wow! factor to your Cocoa and iPhone applications.

In this video tutorial, Michael Park will demonstrate how to recreate an ESPNNews style logo treatment using Adobe After Effects and Trapcode Particular.

Realize your creative potential with a working knowledge of After Effects 7. Renowned artist and designer Angie Taylor demonstrates professional workflows and inspires with practical tutorial lessons that help put the theory (and you!) to work.
