CGCookie - Fundamentals of Shading in Blender 2.7

https://cgcookie.com/courses/fundamentals-of-shading

• Shading for Cycles Shaders control the way light interacts with your model. This is very important because light interaction is what determines whether your object is transparent and glass-like, hard and metallic, shiny like plastic, or translucent like wax. In this course you will first learn how to construct materials for the Cycles physically-based render engine.
• You will see how to navigate and function inside the node editor, mix basic shader components together, as well as construct a practical material using multiple material layers influenced by image textures. These principles will establish the shader foundation you will need to construct any kind of Cycles material you can imagine.
• Shading for Blender Render After the Cycles chapters, an equivalent fundamental education follows in context of Blender's legacy render engine: Blender Render. You will see how to function in the Material and Texture panel as opposed to the Node Editor with Cycles. This engine is not a physically-based and thus lends itself to NPR (non-photo-realistic) rendering. CC Music: "Home Tonight" by DoKashiteru

Believe In Boudoir - Boudoir with Argus C3

https://tv.believeinboudoir.com/courses/boudoir-with-argus-c3

1+ HOURS 8 LESSONS  6 VIDEOS

The Argus C3, nicknamed "The Brick" for its solid, boxy design, is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced from 1939 to 1966 by Argus Corporation in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Known for its reliability, affordability, and simplicity, it became a favorite among everyday photographers. The C3 features an easy-to-use focusing system, making it ideal for those who wanted to take pictures without fuss. Its interchangeable lens system added versatility, typically paired with a 50mm f/3.5 Coated Cintar lens. While additional lenses like the 35mm wide-angle or 100mm telephoto offered more options, the viewfinder wasn’t perfectly aligned with the lens, but photographers adapted to this quirk. Over 2 million units were sold, making it one of the best-selling cameras of all time. Notably, World War II photographer Tony Vaccaro used a C3 during the war and later in his fashion photography career. Today, the Argus C3 is a beloved vintage camera, prized by collectors for its nostalgia and rugged charm, with prices ranging from $50 to $150 depending on condition and accessories.
