In this video, we will be taking some of the principles of animation and applying them to biped and quadruped characters in real-world situations. This series will explore the fundamentals of skeletal anatomy and how it relates to the human and animal rigs used in animation using Autodesk Softimage. We will illustrate different types of joints motions on both types of characters. Then, we will move on to some fundamental intermediate exercises, the run cycle. Using two complete rigs, provided with the video, the viewer will be brought through the basics of running with both biped and quadruped forms.

In this tutorial we will learn how to create a female demon gargoyle creature.

Throughout the tutorial, we will learn the essential tools and techniques needed to create a stylized female. We'll discuss some tips for creating exaggerated proportions and features all the while following good design principles. Stylized characters as a whole can have their own sets of challenges but in this course you'll learn the essential techniques on how to overcome these types of challenges.

In this tutorial we will learn how to create a female demon gargoyle creature. Throughout these lessons we will learn how to quickly create block out shapes such as our creature's wings, horns, cloth and other ornate pieces. We will look at brushes that are used in a typical art pipeline as well as how to create custom brushes. Using 3ds Max, we'll learn how to create chains that conform to the character's body using splines. We will also take all the SubTool pieces in ZBrush to rig and pose our character in Transpose Master.

In this CINEMA 4D tutorial we will learn the fundamentals of rigging in CINEMA 4D. We’ll start off by covering the most basic form of rigging, which is parenting. We'll then take a look at how to modify an object's pivot and how to work with groups. After that, you’ll learn about joints, inverse kinematics, and control objects. And to wrap up this tutorial, we'll go over CINEMA 4D's binding process for skin deformations. By the end of the course, you will understand essential terms and definitions and build a solid foundation for rigging in CINEMA 4D

n this Maya tutorial we will walk through creating a variety of challenging material types. These videos will walk through the essential tools for creating photorealistic materials. We'll start with establishing our shading toolkit through the various models of simulating real-world light interactions. Then we'll jump into a series of challenging material types, and develop the basic shading networks required to make them happen.

In this collection of lessons we will learn basic terms,
definitions and workflows for working in InDesign.
