What fun you can have with a seascape and the are easy. Just take your time. You can repeat the painting using different colours, maybe red as your main colour, instead blue, or maybe change the rock colour, its your creativity. To give a nice edge to your painting, stick some 1" masking tape around the edge of the canvas board and when you have completed the picture, take it off and it will leave a nice edge to your painting.

This lesson is a multi-coloured landscape. It is a simple composition but allows us to use plenty of colour and the Have Some More Fun system.

The release of RenderMan for Maya (RfM) marks the fi rst time this powerful, production-hardened rendering technology has been made accessible to the wider Maya user base. RfM couples the power, speed and stability of Pixar’s production renderer with the familiar workfl ow of shading in Maya’s Hypershade.

Getting under the skin of an animal will help you to better express form and posture, and enable you to realise more accurate renders BY SCOTT EATON Anatomical perfection. very character and concept artist should study anatomy. Why? Because without a sound knowledge of anatomy, your creations will lack credibility. And if you are working in a creature pipeline, an understanding of the fundamentals is absolutely essential.

From this point forward, consider yourself a sculptor, not simply a CG modeller. As with the old masters, familiarising yourself with your tools is only half the job. The other half consists of the never-ending process of developing your artistic skill – which is where anatomical study comes in.

You've never carved a plaster sculpture before? Well, you'd be in the company of these first level students, most non-art experienced, who found it a completely absorbing, surprising, and very satisfactory 1st time sculpture adventure.

3D Modeling/Texturing tutorial: The Making of the "DMF - 239 Coyote" Missile

First of all here is a small introduction. I was briefed to build an aircraft-launchable missile, but this missile was special in that it had DMF capability (Dual Missile Fire). So this meant that I had to conceptualise a missile that could contain two smaller missiles inside itself, so that the mini-missiles could be fired off during flight.

Character 3D Modeling, Texture and UV mapping in 3DSMax tutorial

This tutorial won't give you a lot of technical support but it will give you the idea how i did it. I believe that it will help many new people to character creation
maybe this technics are not right but i found them by myself when i was fooling around with animations.
This technics doesn't need to be pass on to the generations....
