CGCookie - Modeling a Post Apocalyptic Vehicle

https://cgcookie.com/courses/modeling-a-post-apocalyptic-vehicle

• Challenge yourself: So much of the vehicle work we see in the CG world showcases pristine sports cars that most of us can only dream of owning--much less affording. You see a lot of perfectly clean, shiny surfaces with beautiful curving lines. Sports cars are a lot of fun to make and they take no small amount of skill. However, for this course I wanted to do something a little different. Through this Citizen course I’ll be showing you how to tackle a complete, high-resolution vehicle model from start to finish in Blender. The vehicle we’ll be making, designed by David Revoy, has been decked-out with equipment, armor, and weapons to aid in survival. This stage of the course will take you through all of the modeling for the truck design.
• Rugged and ready to roll: Unlike with sports cars, where the goal is clean and pretty, here we’re aiming for dirty, rugged, and beat-up. This is a vehicle that has been thrown together with spare parts, elbow grease, and no small amount of duct tape.

CGCookie - Modeling a Motorcycle

https://cgcookie.com/courses/modeling-a-motorcycle

• In this five-hour course, we’ll be creating a high-poly motorcycle model in Blender. We’ll start with a basic modeling sheet and a few reference photos, and then begin by blocking things out. Next, we’ll refine the body a bit, using subdivision surfacing and a variety of mesh tools to get the shape that we want.
• We’ll then move on to build the engine. We’ll use many of the same techniques, but we’ll also look at the Bevel tool, Path objects, and the use of N-Gons to create mechanical components. In addition to the engine itself, we’ll build an exhaust, frame, and radiator for the bike. In the third segment, we’ll move on to the wheels, tires, and suspension. We’ll first create the tires and wheels themselves, then create the brake rotors and associated parts. We’ll then work on the chain and drive gear, transmission, and rear suspension components. Next, we’ll build the front fork assembly, integrating it into the model. We’ll then create a number of accessory pieces such as the kickstand, license plate, and foot brake. Because this course is targeted at more experienced users, we’re not going to spend much time on the tools and basic functions of Blender. Instead, we’ll focus on technique and workflow, looking at some ways to build complex hard-surface models in a reasonably short time period.

CGCookie - Modeling with Modifiers

https://cgcookie.com/courses/modeling-with-modifiers

• In a more traditional modeling workflow we spend a lot of time adding, removing, and tweaking the vertices and edges that make up our model. Typically we do this via the various mesh modeling tools that we learned about in the Mesh Modeling Fundamentals course. These tools give us very good control but it also means there's a lot of manual work, which can lead to more complicated mesh operations and ultimately, an unnecessarily complex mesh. Modifiers give you the power to work in a less-destructive manner, with more flexibility and speed. To give you an idea of how they might be used, consider the Mirror modifier, which is used for adding symmetry to your mesh. Rather than recreating the same details on the left and right (or front and back, or top and bottom), of your model, instead you can create it on just one side and let the mirror modifier replicate it to the other side automatically. The more you model the more you'll find modifiers to be an essential part of your workflow, and a big boon for your productivity and effectiveness. This course gives you an introduction to how modifiers work, a run through many of the essential modifiers, and puts these tools into practice through a modeling demonstration and exercise.

The Gnomon Workshop - Efficient Cinematic Lighting 2

https://thegnomonworkshop.com/tutorials/efficient-cinematic-lighting-2

In this lecture, Jeremy Vickery continues on the foundation of his first lesson 'Efficient Cinematic Lighting'. Leaving the basics behind, Jeremy delves into lighting for animation. He shares his methods for lighting a one minute short film with two characters and 17 shots that culminates into a beautiful short film. The lecture’s emphasis is on shot continuity, getting characters to read in the short moments they appear on screen, how to approach lighting entire sequences and not just still images, and how to keep render times down in consideration of the budget of an independent film. Jeremy also discusses his methods for being fast and efficient and how to organize the lighting and compositing of a sequence of shots.

The Gnomon Workshop - Sculpting a Dragon with ZBrush

https://thegnomonworkshop.com/tutorials/sculpting-a-dragon-with-zbrush

In this lecture, Maarten Verhoeven demonstrates how to create a highly detailed dragon in ZBrush. The entire process is thoroughly discussed from the initial block-in to final rendering. Beginning with ZSpheres, Maarten blocks out the major forms of the creature’s primary shapes including additional subtools for elements like horns, teeth, claws and wings. Then with the overall shapes in place, he retopologizes the dragon in preparation of sculpting the finer details. Various techniques are shared that accelerate the process of sculpting these details through the use of stencils and alphas. A detailed rock base is then created and the creature is put into its final pose using Transpose Master. In conclusion, Maarten sends the dragon to Keyshot for the final rendering of his finished digital sculpt. Artists of any level, interested in learning from a master ZBrush sculptor, will learn myriad techniques both in technical workflows and informed design strategies.

Krenz Art - Dynamics and Composition Issue 10

https://krenz.art/course_dynamic

• In the early stages of the course, we will start with relatively simple dynamics. Using the CSI system, dynamic lines will be extracted, and simplified theory will be developed based on this foundation. The original dynamic characteristics will be preserved for analysis. Later, practical exercises will be conducted on the dynamics of specific characters based on the generated dynamic lines.
• Next, we will move on to the picture composition section. The course will design many pictures at different difficulty levels and conduct sequential training. Through the "Find the Character’s Performance Line" game, we will learn how to use reasonable elements to build the desired picture structure.
• Most of the time, we first think about specific content and then consider how to simplify its shapes. Here, we try the opposite: first, you are given an abstract shape composed of circles, squares, and triangles, and then you fill it with specific content. If we can achieve this, the so-called "flat composition analysis" will no longer be a retrospective review but something that can be anticipated in advance.

CGCookie - Rigging Train Wheels in Blender

https://cgcookie.com/courses/rigging-train-wheels-in-blender

• In this course, we'll rig a set of locomotive wheels in Blender using constraints. We'll focus on converting rotating motion to reciprocal (back and forth) motion. This type of rigging can be very difficult, and is most often achieved with the use of Armatures and Inverse Kinetics (IK). In this course, however, we'll look at a way to do it using the Locked Track, Copy Location, and Shrinkwrap constraints. During the first video, we'll take a look at the final rig and briefly discuss the Shrinkwrap constraint. In the second video, we'll do the bulk of the rigging work. Here we'll look at some of the difficulties involved in this rig, and how the obvious solutions don't quite work. Then we'll set up a constraint-based rig that does work. In the last video, we'll do some additional rigging on the wheels. We'll also use a Transformation constraint so that the wheel automatically turn as we move the train forward.
