Using Animated Textures in a Character Rig in Maya. Zeth Willie with a couple of posts looking at using animated textures in the Maya rigging pipeline as an example, having a hand drawn face on a character which you can control and animation in Maya.
Zeth also looks at how to use animated normal and bump maps to add detail to your character in certain poses almost as a texture-based corrective shape. Check out the article for Using Animated Textures in A Maya Rig here, and also Using Bump and/or Normal Maps in Maya for Character Pose Space Deformations here. Zeth Willie writes: Been asked a few times lately about using animated textures on a rig and how to control those textures. Like with most things in Maya there are a bunch of ways to do this . . . you could apply different textures to duplicates of geometry and literally swap geo for any given frame of texture you want, but that’s a) a pain to set up and b) kinda like shooting a fly with bazooka.

Realistic Eye Modeling for 3D Characters by Krishnamurti Martins Costa. I'm posting a very simple tutorial on how to model and apply shaders to get realistic eyes, the "windows of your character's soul".
A lot of times, bad eyes can "kill" your character literally, even if it has the most perfect modeling of the world. The importance of the eyes is exactly this: give life to your character. Therefore, don't underestimate this very important step of CG character construction... if not, you've only created "puppets". There is a quite big camber in the cornea, in the iris area. That irregularity, that all of us have, can become a great problem for a CG character. Facegen modeller. 12 expert tips for modelling 3D spaceships and space scenes. With the release of Prometheus this month, we couldn’t believe the talent and skill that had gone into creating the mind blowing digital effects.
We’re sure many of you have been inspired to get your teeth into some spacey art so here, digital artist Rory McLeish gives us his expert tips for creating great-looking spacecraft and backgrounds. Rory McLeish unleashed I concentrate primarily on creature and character concept design now, but my association with spaceships and sci-fi image production goes back a long way. It goes all the way back to my art school student days when I first picked up an airbrush in an attempt to emulate the work of the people that were my influences at the time: science fiction book cover artists such as Chris Foss, Jim Burns and Tim White. I made the switch to digital art around 15 years ago, influenced in part by the groundbreaking CG spacecraft work of Ron Thornton's Foundation Imaging Company in its contribution to the TV series, Babylon 5.
The Complete Guide to Not Giving a Fuck. Ok, I have a confession to make.
I have spent almost my whole life– 31 years–  caring far too much about offending people, worrying if I’m cool enough for them, or asking myself if they are judging me. I can’t take it anymore. It’s stupid, and it’s not good for my well being. It has made me a punching bag–  a flighty, nervous wuss.
But worse than that, it has made me someone who doesn’t take a stand for anything. It has made me someone who stood in the middle, far too often, and not where I cared to stand, for fear of alienating others. Today, ladies and gentlemen, is different. We’re going to talk about the cure. Kuler. Download Sound Effects. Free Sound Effects. SoundBible.com has thousands of free sound effects for everyone.

Environment look. "Cloud Structures" 1962 by Buckminster Fuller. Posted on Dec, 13 2011 @ 06:17 PM Yeah, Bucky's Cloud Nine idea is a doozy that I've always wanted to see tried.
It's all scale-based engineering. The geodesic dome is special in that it's the most efficient way to enclose a volume. That is, it encloses the most space with the least amount of materials possible. Due to cube/square considerations, this effect becomes more pronounced the larger the space enclosed. Bucky figured that if you scale up a full sphere to about half a kilometer or more (I think. Cloud nine (Tensegrity sphere) Geodesic spheres (structures of triangular components arranged to make a sphere) become stronger as they become bigger, due to how they distribute stress over their surfaces.
As a sphere gets bigger, the volume it encloses grows much faster than the mass of the enclosing structure itself. Fuller suggested that the mass of a mile-wide geodesic sphere would be negligible compared to the mass of the air trapped within it. He suggested that if the air inside such a sphere were heated even by one degree higher than the ambient temperature of its surroundings, the sphere could become airborne. He calculated that such a balloon could lift a considerable mass, and hence that 'mini-cities' or airborne towns of thousands of people could be built in this way.
A Cloud Nine could be tethered, or free-floating, or maneuverable so that it could migrate in response to climatic and environmental conditions, such as providing emergency shelters.[2] Giant tsunami-shaped clouds Pictures. fCThI.jpg (467×720) Original.jpg (900×460) Chaos_resources_by_eWKn.jpg (1400×706) Million_years_sunset_by_shimmering_sword-d3gl7u9.jpg (JPEG Image, 1043x800 pixels) Meaning of Ines.

Animation School- Animschool: Character Eye Blink. Spline Doctors » Blog Archive » “The Walk” part one. There are many different ways to approach a scene which contains a character walking. The first thing you need to figure out is what the scene is about. Is it a one off shot of a character walking into frame and saying a line? Is it a series of scenes of one or more characters walking and talking. I have worked on both types and many variations.
When I was working on The Incredibles, I got a bunch of shots with Edna and Bob walking through her home talking about the past when he brings his super suit to be repaired. Now, what about a one off shot? The last case scenario would be the shot where you are basically keying the walk from start to finish. 360 wingsuit video from Norway - Norway official travel guide.
