Color Grading: Introduction with a Pro Colorist

If you had to guess, which movie is cut faster, shows more action, and creates more stress while watching—would you pick Mad Max or Transformers?

Well, find out if you're right and possibly be surprised by the cuts per minute ratio of both films.

Happy editing :)

• It’s a special time in every Digital Artist’s journey when the desire to design and build a space marine’s helmet is overwhelming. And that time is now. Take a moment to be inspired by the great sci-fi space marine designs from Blizzard, Mike Nash, Vitaly Bulgarov, Fausto De Martini, and others. The fact is, hard-surface-sci-fi-space-marine stuff is cool. So let’s create some of our own! Sculpting This in-depth course is about freeing your inner sci-fi designer nerd through conceptual sculpting and complex modeling. First we’ll approach the design of a custom helmet with Blender’s dynamic topology sculpting along with a useful addon called Sculpt Tools UI. This addon comes with several great tools, but mostly we’ll be focusing on two of them: - Grease Cut for to quickly slicing our digital ball into faceted shapes. - Extract Mask for easily generating additional pieces of digital clay.
• Modeling After concept-sculpting the helmet, we want to convert it to a high fidelity polygonal model complete with stream-lined topology and fine details. We begin this process by retopologizing the main structures. Retopology is important because the conversion from sculpture to model legitimizes the hard-surface structure by eliminated bumpiness associated with digital sculpting and improves sharp edge consistency. With the main structures rebuilt, we will polish off the helmet with very fine mechanical details like sprockets, plugs, clips, and screws. This final touch really helps to anchor our design into plausibility, which is a key characteristic of the sci-fi genre.

Joel takes you through the complete retouching process of Jessica with the Treasure Chest and composites her on a beach in Iceland.Follow Joel has he takes you through the creative process from the very beginning to the end. Instead of focusing on one topic, like choosing the right modifier, etc…, you get to see Joel use the techniques and concepts from his core tutorials and apply the needed tools of the trade to the specific photo shoot and retouch as needed.
