Plexus is a plug-in designed to bring generative art closer to a non-linear program like After Effects. It lets you create, manipulate and visualize data in a procedural manner. Not only you can render the particles, but also create all sorts of interesting relationships between them based on various parameters using lines and triangles. The workflow for Plexus is very modular allowing you to create truly infinite set of configurations and parameters.

• Increased droplet controllers for more customization and settings

• Recreate a historical 3D portrait of King Akhenaten using Maya, ZBrush, Substance Painter, XGen, Marvelous Designer and Arnold. Mahmoud Salah, character and creature artist, takes artists on a journey of discovery, starting with a scan of an ancient statue together with a modern-day human head scan that he projects onto the ancient statue to help reimagine the historical figure.
• With the sculpt and facial details defined in ZBrush, Mahmoud uses Substance Painter to carefully align and enhance the skin texture. He instructs how to use Arnold for the look development process and how to leverage the esteemed Skin Shader, and dives deep into the eye setup and rendering workflow for realistic CG eyes.
• The hair grooming is handled using XGen in Maya to help push the realism of the artwork to the next level with hyper-realistic brows, lashes, and stubble. To adorn the character, in the final stage of the workshop, Mahmoud creates key accessories for the King, demonstrating his workflow for modeling and texturing a headdress and ornamental collar to display the character in its full glory.
• The goal of this workshop is to teach the skills artists need to reconstruct and reimagine any historical character in 3D.

• There are some absolute essentials you need to know when tackling lighting in CG. This 5-hour workshop by Adrien Vallecilla sheds light on everything you need to be aware of when lighting 3D environments, particularly if you’re looking to become a successful lighter or look-dev artist working in digital production.
• The workshop kicks off with fundamental lighting theory, discussing the core differences between real-world lighting and CG, as well as how to recreate natural phenomena using 3D tools. In this case, Adrien teaches using Maya with Redshift, however, the theory can be applied to other 3D packages and rendering engines. You’ll learn how to set up convincing lighting, how to optimize your lighting and rendering settings, plus Adrien also details the key differences between rendering with CPU and GPU engines to help you transfer your knowledge to your tools of choice. The lecture concludes with a look at compositing all of the lighting passes rendered from Redshift inside Nuke.
• The Maya Environment Scene file, HDR image, and Cryptomatte file are provided with this workshop. Links to the models featured by Adrien can be found below. You can also use your own 3D models to create a still-life scene while following along with the theory and practice taught.

• Discover how to build a fully scalable cinematic destruction shot in Houdini using professional procedural techniques. Recommended for intermediate-level Houdini artists, this 8-hour workshop by David Silberbauer guides you through how to manipulate attributes in Houdini, covers terrains and height field basics, and details how to compile blocks. You’ll see how to randomize attributes, how to set up a fracturing system and build custom constraints. You’ll also learn how to set up a DOP Network to handle RBD destruction setup and review the important TBD basics in SOPs. From there, David guides you through customizing velocities for use in POP networks and then using POPs for debris, as well as how to manipulate debris to use it as a volume source.
• This workshop details how to build from a volume source to create dust with the Pyro Solver, moving on to handling a large-scale simulation. You’ll learn how to not only work in a procedural way but also how to think procedurally, helping all artists feel empowered to build their own large-scale scenes. While this workshop is intended for intermediate users, it also offers an interesting insight for anyone with basic Houdini knowledge looking to learn more about professional industry workflows.
• A Houdini apprentice file with a basic cinematic destruction setup is provided with this workshop.
