Usually, a variety of skillsets and software are needed to bring an animator’s 3D motion-graphics project from start to finish. In this course, Building a Pop-Up Style Broadcast Opener in CINEMA 4D and After Effects, you will develop many important animation skills using multiple kinds of software, all while working on a single project: a movie-themed motion graphics opener in a pop-up style. You’ll work with CINEMA 4D’s great modeling tools and learn how to set up different kinds of cameras. Next, you'll add animation to your vignettes by creating pop-up effects to keep them alive and moving, afterwards moving onto lighting, rendering, and compositing your project. Finally, you’ll import your composite to After Effects, where you’ll add finishing touches and create a logo for the closing shot. By the end of this course, you'll have created a high-quality motion-graphics opener from scratch and developed the many skills you need to succeed at every stage of your future animation projects. Software required: CINEMA 4D R17, After Effects CC 2015, Frischluft Lenscare, Reel Smart Motion Blur, Knoll Light Factory.

Throughout these lessons we'll learn how to create an advanced Relighting and Rimlighting tool. We'll be using traditional gizmo techniques, rendered EXR passes, as well as advanced python coding. By the end of the course you'll have a fully featured lighting tool for use in NUKE that will be very helpful on many projects! Software required: NUKE 8.0v5.

In this NUKE tutorial, we'll learn how to create and use a powerful lens flare tool based on my popular FlareFactory tool. We'll be using traditional gizmo techniques as well as more advanced python coding. By the end of this NUKE training, you'll not only know how to create a tool of this type, but will be given a production ready flare tool with a handful of presets that I've used before on many commercial and feature productions! Software required: Nuke 8.0v5.

CINEMA 4D is a terrific application for creating broadcast elements and incorporates well with After Effects. Motion Graphics artists are able to create many elements on their own and use those in their projects. When those assets require a little more time and attention in their modeling though, issues can pop up from time to time. In this tutorial, we'll look at some issues encountered by users as they begin to create and modify broadcast assets. The course is really for those not as familiar with modeling in CINEMA 4D and just need to make sure their assets work. We'll talk about making sure our geometry is welded together after converting from generated geometry. We'll cover methods of combining splines and creating branching splines using L-systems. We'll also clean up boolean geometry, work with pivots, and use the Brush Tool to modify an object's shape. By the end of this training you'll know a bit more about dealing the polygon geometry when creating assets for your next broadcast piece. Software required: CINEMA 4D R15.

Throughout this Blender tutorial we'll explore some amazing tools and workflows that will prove essential to you as you start out on your 3D printing quest. We'll go through the basic printing methods and materials, and we'll also go over free 3D-modeling apps including Tinkercad and Blender. We'll cover methods of working with polygon geometry to prepare our models as well as cool techniques to lower the printing cost. We'll then upload the optimized models to Shapeways, the world's leading 3D-printing marketplace and community, for final checks before sending them to the printers. Though the videos will mostly focus on using Blender, the concepts apply to any 3D application of your choice. By the end of this Blender training, you'll have learned the fundamental workflows of preparing and optimizing your 3D models for any type of 3D printer. Software required: Blender 2.71, Tinkercad.com, Meshlab 1.3.3, netfabb Basic 5.1.1
