• Throughout these lessons, we'll delve into the considerations an editor needs to take when working with action scenes. We will examine footage from both documentary/sports style footage and edits as well as fictional action scenes. We cover considerations for this type of editing, common practices, and techniques to make your action scenes flow well. After this course, you will have the tools and knowledge to start putting together successful action scenes. Software required: Adobe Premiere Pro CC.

• In this Maya tutorial, we'll explore node-centric, pose-based deformers as drivers for corrective blend shapes. We'll learn how to accelerate the rigging process by using a free MEL script called abAutoRig.mel, as well as several code snippets and Python utilities to create a character rig, skin the model, paint weights, and apply corrective blend shapes. By the end of this Maya training, you'll have learned new strategies for completing the rigging process quickly and efficiently. Software required: Maya 2015, abAutoRig 6.0.3.

• In this set of tutorials we will explore inter-operability features between 3ds Max and MotionBuilder. We'll explore inter-operability features between the two applications as we learn how to retarget animation to Biped, CAT and custom rigs! We'll learn efficient ways animation can then be modified in both applications to improve character performances. In the end, you'll learn how to use the rigging and animation tools in both 3ds Max and MotionBuilder to retarget and enhance your character animations with time-saving techniques. Software Required: Autodesk 3ds Max 2013

• In this series of 3ds Max tutorials, we will take an in depth look at the world space modifiers in 3ds Max. Each video in this collection of tutorials is a self-contained lesson centering on one of 3ds Max's world space modifiers. This means that these tutorials can be viewed in any order you wish, allowing you to jump straight to the content that is most beneficial to you. Over the course of these lessons, we will discuss all of the parameters and options found in 3ds Max's world space modifiers. Software required: 3ds Max 2012.

• In this V-Ray for Maya tutorial, we'll explore the techniques involved in creating a 3D concept creation. We'll start by using image-based lighting to setup advanced lighting and shading techniques within V-Ray for Maya. Then we'll use MARI to texture assets, followed by creating our final concept using NUKE. By the end of this V-Ray for Maya training, you'll have a solid understanding of the workflow that is required to create a working 3D concept in V-Ray for Maya and NUKE. Software required: Maya 2014, V-Ray 2.4 for Maya, NUKE 9.2X.

• In this series of tutorials, we will go through the process of creating a human to mutant transformation using the MoGraph toolset in CINEMA 4D and then compositing the render in NUKE. We start with a very basic head mesh that we alter to match the features of our actress. We then use this mesh to create a spiky, scale ripple effect that will enhance the look of the change from human to mutant. We will learn some of the powerful Effectors that CINEMA 4D's MoGraph toolset has to offer and before you know it we are ready to render and move into NUKE. Once in NUKE, we begin merging our passes, shuffling alphas, and creating rotoscopes for the greatest control of our render. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a powerful technique for creating a shot that moves from two drastically different looking people and creating a transition that feels life-like and believable. Software required: CINEMA 4D R15, NUKE 7.0V6, After Effects CC 12.0.0.404

• In this series of tutorials, we'll learn ten tips and techniques you can apply to any Maya or NUKE compositing project to speed up your workflow and create a higher-quality composite. We're going to be covering many topics, such as why we break Maya scenes into layers, getting the most information out of Maya for high-dynamic-range composites, and how to process EXRs for much faster interaction in NUKE. From there, we'll examine some render pass and layer workflows that will eliminate errors and give us much more flexibility in NUKE. Finally, we'll jump completely into NUKE by looking at some compositing techniques for CG renders and finally unraveling the proper premultiply workflow. Software Required: Maya 2012 and NUKE 6.3v1.
