VSD - Library characterization and modelling - Part 2

Cartoon-style planets can be approached a number of ways—I am familiar with a few of them.Using textures only is very limiting, so in this course, I'll teach you my most recent breakthrough in miniature planet modeling in Blender using custom-made brushes. Blender has come a long way, and a recent feature—VDM brushes—will allow us to achieve the results shown in the course. -What you'll learn:•Making a perfect sphere with clean topology•Sculpting planets and other topographic features•Texturing desert sand•Modeling and texturing low-poly vegetation•Creating realistic water•Lighting•Camera setup-Who is this course for?•Beginner to Intermediate learners•Learners who know how to navigate the UI, install add-ons, etc•Learners who want to improve their lighting skills•Learners who like cartoon-style renders•Learners that want to learn the very basics of sculpting with VDM brushes-What is expected of learners?To spend more time than the course lighting modeling to achieve the greatest, prettiest results possible, and to get creative and use any other addons or means to build on what was taught in this course.Learners are also encouraged to take what they have learned, and apply it elsewhere or on another planet—one that is not comprised solely of desert.

Hello and welcome.If you are a designer or developer who is interested in creating scenes automatically with unique features and the ability to use them in an external application, this course is for you.This course focuses on creating multiple Python scripts that will help us create a scene with a variety of elements in it.For this, we will use Blender and its scripting section where we will use Python and the NumPy library.With NumPy, we will use multiple of its function to generate multiple sequences of numbers that will help us to create 3D coordinates.These coordinates will be used to create a terrain, a forest and a little town.This course may be attractive to you because it can help you save time when you are designing scenes with the ability to add your custom elements to the script.In addition, you will have access to the content created during the course.I hope you find the content useful and that you can apply it to your personal projects.Have fun and happy learning.In this course you will learn:How to Use NumPy to create coordinates in a 3D space.How to procedurally generate a terrain with random features.How to create a forest by using the beta distribution.How to use a parametric formula to generate town.Import external models.Export the scene to use it in Godot.You will require:Blender 3.X.Be familiar with Python or basic programing. You can follow the videos if you don't have any experience.Optionally Godot to import the Blender scene.

This course will introduce the usage of gears to your workflow in Fusion 360. Gears are a very basic mechanical element that you can use in all your designs. With the advancement in 3D printing it's very simple to have a gear train made in your home. Learning how to use gears in your designs will open up new pathways your designs can take. The gear add-in in Fusion 360 is very flexible and can be used to produce a myriad of gear train orientation. The course starts with the basics of gears and their history. Technical terms of gears are then introduced and explained with fun engaging animations. After that we jump into Fusion 360 to show you how to use the spur gear addin and model gears in your designs. This is followed by an assignment where you will test your understanding of the concepts. By this point you'll be able to make any arrangements of simple gear trains. The last section will teach you all about compound gear trains and how to design them, assemble and animate them in Fusion 360. In section 1 I will introduce to you the concept of gears and their technical terms and how to perform general calculations. This is followed by a walk through selecting gears from an online catalogue to match the power requirements of your designs. Section 2 will introduce the concept of simple gear trains to you. First we will jump into Fusion 360 to explain how to use the spur gear addin to model gears and how to assemble them. Then I will show you how to animate the simple gear trains. After that I will show you how to do the calculations to design a simple gear train for a specific usage. After this you will be asked to perform the same calculations on an assignment to confirm your understanding. Section 3 will introduce the compound gear trains to you and show you the difference between simple and compound gear trains. The compound gear trains calculations in explained afterwards and followed by a guide to designing compound gear trains in Fusion 360.

By the end of this week, you will have a strong grasp of how to handle even the toughest green or blue screen scenario. I will cover, creating a template for the green or blue screen removal process, getting familiar with keying tools in nuke, creating clean and precise matte, primary and secondary color spill removal process, hair detail preservation, automating luminance match of BG to FG, and removing tracking markers.There will be a lot of theory you need to learn first before you can successfully composite a shot, and with anything worth learning there is a learning curve. But if you persist through you will have a great payoff and skillset at the end, and a great shot to show off that you created!Note: You will be required to download the project files if you want to follow along with this class. this course has been created with NukeX 13.2v5
