Gnomon: Texture Painting: Fundamentals Photorealistic Texturing with Paul Campion

In this DVD, Paul Campion explains the essentials of texture painting with Adobe Photoshop®, discussing how observation and an understanding of the original object’s surface qualities are the skills necessary to create photorealistic textures. Starting with reference captured using a standard flatbed scanner, he demonstrates how to create color, bump and specular maps for a prehistoric shark tooth, explaining how each type of map affects the surface qualities of the CG model, and how these three basic maps work together to create a photorealistic surface. In addition, this DVD covers the human face, one of the most difficult areas of a human to texture.
Gnomon: Texture Painting: Fundamentals Photorealistic Texturing with Paul Campion

This demonstration shows some of the basic principles involved in texturing a human head, relying on the use of good reference and observation skills. Paul also demonstrates how Maya can be effect- ively used as a 3D paint package, using Perspective Camera Projection and texture baking to generate complex UV maps, which are then combined in Adobe Photoshop® to create detailed realistic head textures.

How to Draw Animals with Marshall Vandruff

This one focuses on constructing the form through anatomy etc.
But even more valuable (to me anyway) it really goes in depth
into constructing the form in 3D & perspective.

Until I watched this I had only a basic grasp of perspective
but this makes it all really clear & IMHO is about the best
resource Ive ever come across on these subjects.

Here's the website for it:
http://www.draw123.com/animals/howtodrawanimals01.html

Its a good quality divx rip of the dvd. Please let me know if Ive done
something wrong as I am totally new to torrents.

Enjoy & please seed! Ive have a lot of art instruction books & vids to share &
am loving the resources Ive found here already. Thankyou to all the sharers!

Kurv Studios: Get into ZBrush 2, Training by Glen Souther

ZBrush 2.0 is the latest release from Pixologic and continues to be a very individual piece of software. Designed to give an artist the freedom to sculpt high-frequency detail, all the while striving to make it as intuitive as possible. ZBrush has been adopted by major 3D Studios across the world and integrated into the production pipeline. Get Into ZBrush will take the artist on a tour of the ZBrush interface and explain how each tool can fit into their workflow. Using plain, well paced narrative Glen takes the viewer, panel by panel on an eye opening exploration. Part two then moves onto a project to model a 3D head from the innovative ZSpheres onto high polygon modeling, texturing using the native mapping modes and finally onto lighting and rendering the model. There is no other software on the market today that allows you to model organic models with polygons counts reaching the million mark and this video helps you to explore it fully.

The video is aimed at people new to ZBrush and the artist that simply wants to know more. As ZBrush has so many hidden depths this title helps to how and where ZBrush can be used in a modern graphic environment.

This DVD has broken new ground for ZBrush users all over the world. The quality and design of this DVD is what users are raving about not to mention the depth of the projects Glen goes into.

This DVD is not just for introductory users although it has more than 3 hours of introduction to the interface and how to's on EVERY tool in ZBrush. this video is also for intermediate ZBrush users as well showing you how to model, and texture the head model on the cover of the DVD.

LightWave 3D [8] Bone Tools Training Video (kurvstudios)

The purpose of this CD is to get you up and running with the new bone tools in LightWave 3D [8]. These new bone tools make rigging in Layout not only possible but much easier then using skelegons. Larry Shultz will show you not only how they work, but demonstrate how to rig a character with them.
Larry Shultz worked with Irrational Number, developers of the bone tools formerly known as "Ortho" for many months helping develop these tools. Larry is probably one of the few people who have been using these tools since they were developed. Larry was instrumental in not only getting these tools into LightWave [8], but then introduced NewTek to the programmers who then worked directly for NewTek.
