https://thegnomonworkshop.com/tutorials/creating-cinematics-in-unreal-engine-5

Familiarize yourself with creating cinematics in Unreal Engine 5. This 6-hour workshop is designed for everyone from 3D artists and 2D artists to production managers and filmmakers who want to understand how UE5 works in cinematic production. 3D Generalist, Kosuke Iwasaki, covers everything from art theory, the fundamentals of Unreal Engine, best practices when it comes to data management, through to blocking scenes, kitbashing, working with the Material System, working with characters, creating Niagara effects, working with the Sequencer, lighting, and post-processing.  Artists can expect to learn how to create a cinematic shot while gaining a solid understanding of the best practices that professionals use when working in Unreal Engine to get up and running quickly and efficiently. Project files provided with this workshop include “KI Visualizer,” a blueprint to help with checking your composition and values; “KI SimpleBlockingShape,” simple shapes to help artists with the layout and blockout of a scene; and “WinterGirl,” a copyright-free rigged character that was utilized in this workshop.

Improve the quality of your rigs with this professional guide to creating quadruped rigs. In this 6.5-hour workshop, Paween Sarachan shares the tips and tricks he’s learned to create user-friendly rigs while working alongside experienced professional animators in VFX production. The rigging system featured in this workshop was developed while working with Chalermphol Wattanawongtrakool, Senior Animator at Framestore, and Colin McEvoy, Animation Supervisor at DNEG. It has been tried and tested to meet the highest quality production standards while being animator-friendly.  This workshop begins from the basics and works through the creation of the final main-body rigs in a step-by-step process. One of the key components of this workshop is creating the realistic spine, which gives a final output that you’ll see used in VFX production — all without the need for any plugins. You’ll learn how to use the helper Python script to create the generic control rig and how to create a Spline-IK system with realistic behavior to push and pull the chest and pelvis, allowing all components to move together efficiently.  Parween also instructs how to create the FK/IK switch setup for the limbs, as well as the IK stretch setup, and the double FK control structure technique for the toe setup. You’ll learn the Limb Lock technique, the scapula auto aim setup, and discover Parween’s belly trick setup with cMuscleSmartConstraint node. He also covers the skinning weight technique using Maya’s skinning tools.

Discover how to create a professional explosion shot in this 7.5-hour workshop with Ganesh Lakshmigandan, Senior FX Technical Director at Weta FX. From analyzing references to completing the final composite, Ganesh walks you through the entire creation process.  Ganesh demonstrates how to use the Axiom Solver (version 3.1 or higher) in Houdini 20 to create all the pyro simulations. He teaches every pro trick in the book to achieve a realistic-looking sim, including accurate shading and lighting.  Solaris/Karma XPU is used to shade, light, and render the shot. Ganesh reveals how to use the latest karma volume shader and take advantage of the latest features to achieve visually realistic-looking volume renders. In the final stage of the workshop, you’ll then tackle the Nuke composite of all the rendered elements.  Throughout this workshop, you will learn SOP tricks to create emitters and see how to split simulations to make art-directable elements quickly and efficiently. The GPU-based Axiom Solver with Karma XPU is a professional solution for creating faster iterations in both simulation and rendering.

Walk through the creation of an animation shot from beginning to end with Senior Animator Mike Wilson, who breaks the process down into manageable sections. This insightful workshop not only provides practical techniques for you to improve your Maya workflow but also takes a broad look at the feature film industry, detailing exactly what you can expect to encounter as a professional 3D animator.  Mike Wilson offers a glimpse of what being an animator entails, and discusses what it can take to get there. Once you land a job as a professional animator, what is expected of you next? With this workshop, you’ll follow along as Mike sets up a shot to maximize time and resources so that deadlines can be met. You’ll discover how to use references to gather information from the real world and translate that into your animations. You’ll then learn how to block out an animation quickly, how to approach revisions, and how to polish and finalize a professional shot.  This workshop discusses how the role of an animator on a feature film is just a single part in a large apparatus and explains the importance of working in tandem with others on a team and complimenting departments. Artists can expect to gain a macro view of a feature film studio production while learning about the expected tasks of an animator.  Mike’s tutorial provides techniques and advice for any artist looking to break into feature film animation; however, it is recommended that artists have some understanding of the fundamental principles of animation to benefit fully from this workshop. The shot demonstrated in this workshop provides techniques that can be used time and again in your own shots.

https://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/tutorials/3d-weapon-design-vr-workflow

Design 3D weapon game assets using Substance 3D Modeler and Blender. This 5.5-hour workshop begins with an introduction to using Substance 3D Modeler as part of a VR design workflow and continues with intermediate and advanced-level Blender techniques. Whether you’re looking to create game assets for a VR workflow, develop your Blender workflow, brush up on our hard-surface design theory, or learn concept art in general, this workshop will provide you with a great insight into designing high-quality assets for games.  Instructor Bryant Momo Koshu begins with all the initial concept sketching using Substance 3D Modeler before moving into Blender where all the refinement of the sculpt is done. You’ll learn how to retopologize hard-surface assets in Blender, and discover Bryant’s top-rated addons for Blender for an efficient design workflow. He’ll also discuss texturing using nodes and how to animate the model, all the while discussing his industry experiences to help you understand the important theory behind his design decisions.  By completing this workshop, you will feel confident sculpting in VR and have gained various techniques to develop your Blender workflow when it comes to hard-surface design, whether specifically for weapon assets or for bigger projects. Bryant’s FBX and Blender files are included with this workshop for subscribers to download.

Rasha Shalaby takes environment artists and matte painters on a journey from concept to final shot using Gaea, Houdini, V-Ray, and Photoshop as she recreates the ancient deserts of Sinia, Egypt, and the Red Sea Mountains. Perfect for artists working in VFX for film, TV, and game cinematics, Rasha’s 4-hour workshop walks through the complete creation process of a natural environment based on a real location.  This comprehensive workshop covers all the essential steps from creating the base low-detail assets that inform the initial concepts to creating hero camera angles, updating and optimizing assets, and adding scattered elements. Rasha teaches the importance of using references to ensure fidelity between the CG recreation versus the production location and teaches the workflow and techniques utilized by artists in a real production environment. She shows how environments will go through various iterations as the level of detail is updated in every asset and the environment overall.  Gaea is used to create the terrains and output textures. Houdini is used to set up the environment build and extract displacement maps for the created terrain, and also to create layered shaders in V-Ray to ensure a high level of detail is achieved in the final renders. Rasha’s .tor files are provided with this workshop for subscribers to download.
