“In this series, Alex Jaeger demonstrates his process for designing a futuristic military vehicle based on descriptions from a science fiction screenplay. In this second volume, with an emphasis on the production pipeline, he shows how to break down a three-quarter view of a vehicle design into orthographic views for a 3D modeler, and then demonstrates the process for rendering that three-quarter view into a final presentation piece in Adobe Photoshop®. Alex begins with the side orthographic view, showing you exactly how to correctly measure and position each element from your design. He leads you through his workflow to then create top, front, and back views, as well as alternates for "on-road" and "off-road" modes. Throughout the orthographic demo, Alex focuses on keeping the design accurate, well organized and easy for a 3D modeler to "read". He then moves on to rendering the three-quarter view in Photoshop, adding details to the line drawing and finishing with color, lighting, graphics, photo-textures, scale cues and atmosphere to present the vehicle in its world and bring the final design to life.

Gnomon Workshop - Dynamics Maya DVD 1 - 14 By Alex Alvarez
Dynamics 1: Particle Tool, Create Emitter
Dynamics 2: Vertex, Point and Curve Emission
Dynamics 3: Surface Emission
Dynamics 4: Rigid Bodies
Dynamics 5: Fields
Dynamics 6: Goals
Dynamics 7: Instancer

This is the second DVD from 14 DVD tutorial series for dynamic animation and effects in Maya. Support Files included. The ability to use vertices, curves and particles as emission sources is an extremely powerful aspect to Mayas dynamics. In this video we focus on the Emit from Object tool as well as the Curve Flow effect. Example scenes include fire, smoke, shockwaves, fireworks, explosions, sparks, solar flares and liquid streams.

Producing photo-real composites of CG characters is always a challenge. Waiting for mattes or passes from a CG department can mean long waits and lots of iterations. Using the 3D capabilities of NUKE along with animated models can make your job easier and allow a much faster turnaround than relying on the CG department.

Microelectronic Circuit Design (4th Edition) by Richard Jaeger
McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math | ISBN : 0073380458 | March 1, 2010 | 1365 pages | PDF | 30MB
Richard Jaeger and Travis Blalock present a balanced coverage of analog and digital circuits; students will develop a comprehensive understanding of the basic techniques of modern electronic circuit design, analog and digital, discrete and integrated. A broad spectrum of topics are included in Microelectronic Circuit Design which gives the professor the option to easily select and customize the material to satisfy a two-semester or three-quarter sequence in electronics. Jaeger/Blalock emphasizes design through the use of design examples and design notes. Excellent pedagogical elements include chapter opening vignettes, chapter objectives, “Electronics in Action” boxes, a problem-solving methodology, and "Design Note” boxes.

Completion Time: 2 hrs. 32 min. | Genre: eLearning | Difficulty: all levels | Language: English | Instructor: Alex Alvarez

Gathering is a personal project by Alex Alvarez, created as a large scale detailed illustration for print. Using Maya, ZBrush, Bodypaint, Onyx, Shave, Mental Ray and Photoshop, this lecture gives an in-depth, although fairly non-technical, overview of the creation process.

Alex is founder and director of The Gnomon Workshop and of the Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Hollywood. Having dedicated the last decade to educating students and professional artists around the world, Alex has helped change the face of computer graphics and design education. He has been published in industry magazines, websites and books - plus he has taught courses at several major trade conferences.

Starting with a photographic backplate and 3D model, Brendan McCaffrey presents an in-depth look at an automotive illustration project step-by-step from wire-frame to finished product, using Maya, Mental Ray and Photoshop . In phase one, Brendan covers the initial brief, 3D setup and rendering. He then moves on to the view setup, matching the camera, and preparing the model and textures as they relate to high resolution work: shaders for paint, glass, metal and rubber. Brendan proceeds with the environment and lighting setup and on to the final renders of all the required layers and passes. In phase two, he assembles and corrects the render layers and passes in Photoshop . Brendan then moves on to blending the image into a cohesive whole using non-destructive color correction and adjustment. Finally, he demonstrates how to apply effects and finishing touches. This DVD comes with the project

Vehicle Painting - Digital Tutorials Series
Publisher: 3dtotal | 2009 | ISBN: N/A | 41 pages | PDF | 44 Mb
This tutorial eBook takes an in-depth look at the process of designing vehicles, beginning with the concept stage and following through to a final design. The tutorial covers sketching approaches used to evolve and refine an initial idea, and shows the techniques used to produce a number of drawings, exploring a variety of designs. The tutorial then moves on to creating a finished design, placing the vehicle in a simple scene and addressing the issue of rendering the various materials that make up its construction. The importance of perspective is explained before concluding the tutorial concludes with a chapter on adding design details and lighting effects.
