Source - CGArena  Category - 3ds Max > Miscellaneous >
Have you ever asked to your client "What resolution do you want it?" he responds, "Make it 300 DPI"(dots per inch). Video and 3D Animation work in Pixels. Many times, animators render out a 3000 by 2000 pixel image, bring it into their imaging program, and it reads 72 dpi. This is inaccurate because the resolution is created for pixels, not dpi. Photoshop simply assigns a default dpi to the image because there is no associated per-inch resolution embedded in the rendered image file. Follow the below link for more details...

Today, I will explain to you guys what is Z Depth. Because many of you will undoubtedly not be familiar with z-maps, their creation, or their use. The term z-map might be a little misleading to those who are not familiar to working in 3D space. In high school geometry class the concept of two-dimensional space: the x-axis represents horizontal space and the y-axis represents vertical space. Whenever you work in packages such as Painter, Photoshop, Commotion, Combustion or After Effects you are working solely in 2-dimensional space. When you work in 3D you have, in addition to the x- and y-axes, a z-axis, representing depth. Follow the below link for more details...

The first thing to consider is how the character looks and how the concept translates into a game character.

Once I have a rough idea of the technical specification and limits I start creating the main body of the character. In the case of this particular model, I created the body and head to start with. I kept the head as a separate model so that I could easily work on it separately and later export it separately for baking. Follow the below link for more details...

Source - Area Mudbox Community  Category - Mudbox > Shaders >
Once the textures are finished, go back into the 3D application and start modeling the geo for the hair. Start with simple geometry and block in the main shape of the hair ... you will add more tesselations later on if it'll be necessary. But for now, keep it simple. When creating geometry for the hair, I usually start with a clump of hair and then duplicate it and move it around. Then I repeat the process several times until I've covered the entire head before I start tweaking the geometry to better suit the hairstyle I want. For voluminous hairstyles, try not to model the geometry for the hair, as I've illustrated in the picture below because this approach will require a lot more planes.

Source - Kevman3D  Category - Lightwave 3D > Lighting >
Ambient Occlusion is a cool technique that simulates ambient shadows and shading in areas where the light cannot reach. This document covers the basic methodology of AO, a review of 2 different shaders for LightWave 3D, as well as LScript source code to show how to write your very own Ambient Occlusion shader. Ambient occlusion is a technique where surfaces are shaded dependant upon how blocked (or occluded) from the surrounding environment they are. The effect is a soft shading and around edges, underneath close-proximity geometry and in holes and grooves where ambient light can't reach, much like the the effect produced by radiosity and global illumination.

Source - 3DTotal.com  Category - Lightwave 3D > Modeling >
Louie's Bar & Grill is based on an actual building in the Universal Studios, FL theme park. Although it took about two months or so to complete, majority of the work was done in three weeks. I worked on it five hours a day for five days each week. I think that it's safe to say that to get to the final render was less than 100 hours of work. Honestly, after three weeks I was not happy with the final look. William Vaughan from the DAVE School had mentioned that it would be great to put it into the "Art of LightWave" book. So the final touches were worked on here and there as I was modeling my Terminator 1 HK tank. Basically, the process of making Louie's is broken down into four stages: modeling, texturing, lighting, and post-processing. Follow the below link for more details...

The WarChild is a texturing challenge that I took on as an endeavor to further my texturing abilities using what I know of LightWave's layer based textures and to learn more about the new NODES system in LightWave 9. The first version I textured was a theme of a Roman solider or Gladiator type character that had seen his fair share of warfare. The total time I put into it was approximately 2 days as I experimented with NODES and weight maps, something that I had not tried before. Having a fair amount of knowledge of LightWaves layer based textures from past versions of LightWave I was determined to get more into NODES than than layers.

Most modeling in Bryce requires boolean operation. This can be done with a combination of different Bryce primitives, a single one, or with imported objects like dxf or obj. The following shows how to do this. However, it shows the roughest form by using boolean to cut out portions of an objects center...it should be noted that this operation can be used to shape an object's edge as well. By placing a negative primitive (or imported object) at a positive object's edge, the edge can be carved to whatever shape is desired. Follow the below link for more details...

Source - SimplyMaya  Category - Autodesk Maya > Lighting >
Lighting is essential when you want to display your models properly. In this tutorial we'll show you how to light up your finished models with this classic Hollywood lighting scheme, which is commonly applied in 3D as it lends depth to a potentially flat subject. When lighting an object in Maya and rendering it out your goal is to convey as much of the 3D shape that is present in your model over to a 2D image, and placing your lights in the correct places will help you to do this. Three-Point Lighting is a good starting point if lighting is a new field to you, and using this scheme you'll see that you can get some nice results in a quick and easy way.
