T0836 - CG Academy - HLSL Shader Creation 2 Light Shading Models

In this second DVD in our HLSL Shader Creation series, Ben Cloward explores how you can create the main building blocks of a lighting and shading system in HLSL. He shows how you can build shaders to represent the Ambient, Diffuse and Specular components of surface shading. How to enhance your Ambient shading by using a combination of convolved HDRI environment maps and baked Ambient Occlusion. Ben also shows you how to create Point, Directional and Spot light sources. And we wrap up with a practical exploration of some of today’s standard surface shading models, including Phong, Blinn, Cook/Torrence and Oren/Nayar.

This DVD builds on the theory and skills taught in DVD one in this series. You need to know how to write basic HLSL shader code (surface & light) to get the most out of this title.

CH01: Normal Mapping
Ben starts by looking at how we can use Normal Maps to add surface detail and form to our shading.

CH02: Basic Lighting - Ambient Light
We start our exploration of surface shading by modelling the non-directional Ambient lighting component.

CH03: Basic Lighting - Diffuse Light
Now we add in directional diffuse lighting into our shading model.

CH04: Basic Lighting - Specular Light
And we finish off our basic shading model with our Specular highlights.

CH05: Advanced Lighting - Light Attenuation
Now Ben looks at how we can better model our light sources. So, firstly we make our lights intensity diminish over distance, just as lights do in the real world.

CH06: Advanced Lighting - Directional Lights
Next Ben models distant light sources, such as the Sun, with directional light.

CH07: Advanced Lighting - Spot Lights
And finally Ben looks at how we can focus a light into a defined circular throw, with a Spot light.

CH08: GI - Ambient Occlusion
We now move on to look at how we can model our Ambient light component more closely with Ambient Occlusion.

CH09: GI - Using Ambient Cube Maps
Then Ben shows us how we can use Ambient Cube Maps to blend in with our Ambient Occlusion maps, and produced enhanced ambient lighting.

CH10: GI - Creating Ambient Cube Maps
And finally we look at how we can create Ambient Cube Maps from our own HDRI images.

CH11: Lighting Models - Phong/Blinn
In this section of the DVD we look at further shading models. Firstly we look at the differences between the Phong and Blinn specular shading models.

CH12: Lighting Models - Cook/Torrence
And then we move on to look at the Cook/Torrence shading model. A shader designed to better model the specular response of metal.

CH13: Lighting Models - Oren/Nayar
And we wrap up the DVD by looking at the Oren/Nayar shading model. A shader that models highly diffuse surfaces.

T0835 - CG Academy - HLSL Shader Creation 1 HLSL Fundamentals

In the first of our Advanced, 3 DVD series on HLSL Shader writing within 3dsmax, Ben Cloward will give you an understanding of what a HLSL shader is. How a shader can be created with free software, edited and then displayed within 3dsmax. Fundamental programming concepts such as Data Types, Structs and Functions. How to create a shader GUI, the basic framework of a HLSL shader and much much more. By the close of the DVD, Ben will have you writing your own basic HLSL shaders.

This DVD is an ideal introduction to the world of HLSL shader writing for real-time GPU based shaders. An understanding of basic programming concepts and 3D math is useful. (For those needing 3D tutorship, see The Matrix: Explained by Borislav Petrov.
CH 01: What is HLSL?
Ben explains what HLSL is and why its useful to learn how to use it.
CH 02: The Graphics Pipeline
Then he gives a run through of a typical pipeline on current video cards. Explaining where the different elements of HLSL shaders come in to play.
CH 03: Shader Writing Setup
Ben then shows how to setup 3dsmax and 3rd party software to create an intuitive and fast shader development environment.
CH 04: Basic Programming: Data Types
Now we look at some of the fundamentals concepts of programming in HLSL. Ben starts with Data Types.
CH 05: Basic Programming: Structs
Then he moves on to explain Structs.
CH 06: Basic Programming: Functions
And Ben wraps up this section by looking at how Functions work in HLSL.
CH 07: FX Framework: The User Interface
HLSL shaders have a standard framework in which they should be created. This is known as the FX Framework. Here Ben explain the GUI elements of that framework.
CH 08: FX Framework: Input & Output Structs
We then look at the Input and Output Structs of the FX Framework.
CH 09: FX Framework: Vertex & Pixel Shaders
Then we look at the main "meat" of the FX Framework, the Vertex and Pixel Shaders.
CH 10: FX Framework: Techniques & Passes
And we finish this section by exploring Techniques and Passes.
CH 11: Creating Simple Shaders
With the FX Framework under our belt we now have the tools to attempt creating simple shaders. Here Ben shows you how to create a very simple shader to get the ball rolling.
CH 12: A Diffuse Shading Model
And we complete the DVD by looking at how we can simulate Diffuse lighting in a shading model . Then Ben shows us how to implement this in our simple shader. We now have our first functional HLSL shader.

T0824 - Turbo Training Advanced Visual Effects 2

urbo Training: Advanced Visual Effects 2

Visual Effects guru and particle effects master Allan McKay is back with another round of stellar particle effects as part of his latest training kit: Turbo Training: Advanced Visual Effects 2.

This time out, Allan has created seven new project-based tutorials that push the built-in Particle Flow particle system to the limit and beyond. With a running length of over 6 hours, this training DVD is aimed at intermediate and advanced users. Allan starts off with easier effects like creating a DNA strand out of particles, then ramps up to more complex natural effects including procedural lava and particle fire, as well as building a crumbling iceberg, splashing barrels and exploding tanks.

To achieve several of these effects, Allan spends time showcasing two Autodesk Certified Animation Plug-ins: AfterBurn 3 and Particle Flow Tools: Box 1 and discusses how they can extend what the core PFlow particle system can do.

Finally, Allan illustrates how to set up your render passes and through the use of Eyeon's Digital Fusion compositing application, blends the various layers together to achieve the final effects.

T0823 - Turbo Training Advanced Visual Effects

If you’re looking for training beyond the basics, then the Advanced Visual Effects DVD is for you. This DVD volume (part of the new Turbo Training collection) contains over 14 hours of material from special effects creator and Particle Flow master Allan McKay.

Aimed at intermediate and advanced users, the Advanced Visual Effects DVD showcases much of Allan’s talent and techniques for producing incredible animation using 3ds Max and the Particle Flow particle system. Starting with simple examples, Allan works up to more complex effects including generating procedural tornados and volcanoes, as well as a drip system that must be seen to be believed. He also covers topics including the use of procedural materials, reactor 2 physics basics.

Additionally, an entire section is devoted to his use of Autodesk Certified Animation Plug-in AfterBurn 3, showing how he makes believable explosions, ground fog, clouds and more.

T0681 - Poly-Modeling with 3ds Max Thinking Outside of the Box

Todd Daniele �Poly-Modeling with 3ds Max: Thinking Outside of the Box"
Focal Press | 2008-10-03 | ISBN: 0240810929 | 288 pages | PDF | + ISO file

Polymodeling is a modeling technique used in 3d modeling. Unlike box modeling, or other forms of modeling where you start out with a basic form or primitive object that determines the mass of an object, artists can use the polygon (the basic building block of all of the primitives available in 3ds Max). This approach allows for more control over the flow, placement and detail of the meshes that are built. Placement of vertices/points, edges and all other sub-elements that build our models is determined by the user, rather than pre-determined by a computer generated primitive.
