Holomatix Rendition is a raytracing renderer, designed to make life easier for 3D artists. It is compatible with mental ray scenes and shaders, for 3D scenes developed in Maya, 3ds Max and XSI. Rendition dynamically refines the rendered image, providing a lot of useful, immediate feedback, and converging to a final, production quality rendered image.

In this lecture, Matt Hartle will lead you through the steps necessary to produce a finished visual effects shot from conception to the final composited rendering. Along the way we will examine modeling, texturing, animation, lighting and rendering using Mental Ray. We will then composite the rendered layers in After Effects, using a 3D composition with a camera exported from Maya. By bringing in the camera from Maya we will be able to integrate photographed elements with our rendered elements to create a final composite. Render layers from our Maya scene will include beauty, ambient occlusion, particles, ground fog and color alpha among others.

The basic and fundamental skills that are required by students and newcomers to 3d animation are thought with this product. The material covered in this training series is vital and builds the foundation for further advancement into 3d animation. Without the fundamental skills learned in this training series, it will be difficult to impossible to be able to continue into advanced 3d animation and digital content creation. Because the material in this training series is geared towards beginners to the world of 3d animation and 3dsMax, this training series is not recommended to experienced 3d artists. However, if you have just begun working in 3d, are thinking about it, or have little to no experience, then this training is for you. The aim of this training series is to take someone who is new to 3d animation in general and get them up and running with 3dsMax as quickly and easily as possible. If you have never worked on a real production with any 3d software, then this training series is right for you. This product was designed for 3dsMax 2009 and up.

This bundle allows you access to the entire library of video curriculum originally designed for the Mastering Maya: The Fundamentals Online Class. This bundle allows you to get your hands on these incredible videos without having to deal with the time constraints and scheduling of the actual online class. Learn at your own pace as we guide you step-by-step through the process of growing from a Maya beginner into a true Maya master!

One of the most powerful package for creating 3D models from photographs. Using its own built-in powerful algorithms, the application produces reconstruction volumes and spaces of 2D images. The user puts the calibration markers, and on them are defined and modeling markers, which serve as reference points to calculate the polygons. The program can be used to recognize 3D volume and the subsequent precise placement in the amount of other 3D models. The resulting project can be exported to an appropriate program of 3D modeling for future work.

ProAnimator comes in two forms: as a standalone application and as an After Effects plug-in. Both products act exactly the same, but the plug-in is integrated into Adobe After Effects, so you can do all of your authoring with After Effects. The standalone application doesn't require a host product, so you may generate your animated movies independent of any particular target. You may even import a standalone ProAnimator scene into the ProAnimator plug-in (or vice versa) for added flexibility. ProAnimator includes all of the powerful 3D content creation tools as the 3D Invigorator PRO product. It also contains a next generation animation system that can be used to quickly generate complex animations that would take hours to create in other 3D applications.

ProAnimator includes an advanced animation system that you can use to generate complex animations. The work is done inside of the Animation window. The familiar track interface contains special animation segments called Poses and Transitions. You use Poses to position your objects and text. You use Transitions to tell the animation system how to move the objects from Pose to Pose. Cascading animations are a snap.

The area below the tracks contains the animation controls which are used to position objects in Poses and set animation timing in Transitions. Most of your animation can be done using just a few controls, but other controls exist so that you can create the animation you want.

Bridging the 2D and 3D worlds, Autodesk ImageModeler enables you to capture the reality as-built, take measurements of buildings, and easily create photorealistic 3D models. Editing, modeling, and texturing tools allow you to further edit, refine, and texture your rendered objects. Your 3D objects can then be exported into different formats.

Features
Autodesk® ImageModeler™ image-based modeling software is easy to learn, enabling architects and designers to create a 3D model, starting from 2D images, in just a few hours. Creating a 3D model becomes as simple as drawing lines on images. ImageModeler also has editing, modeling, and texturing tools.

Mayan Waterfall 3D Screensaver 1.0 is screen savers: other software developed by 3Planesoft.
Mayan Waterfall 3D Screensaver will let you have a closer look at the mysterious Mayan culture. It shows the remnants of a Mayan settlement near a charming waterfall somewhere in the deep jungles. You can look at the artifacts scattered around the place, hear the sounds of wildlife and admire the vivid scenery. Many picturesque views, outstanding visuals and adjustable music accompaniment add brilliance to this screensaver.

Vue 7 xStream operates as a fully integrated plug-in for 3ds Max, Maya, LightWave, Cinema4D and XSI. It adds all of Vue's dedicated environment creation tools to your application's interface.

Using these tools, you can create complete, hyper-realistic 3D environments without leaving your favorite application. This includes (among others) the ability to create atmospheric effects, build procedural terrains, grow SolidGrowth trees or even populate entire forests .

Edit Vue elements inside your application

Proxy geometry is dynamically created by Vue 7 xStream inside the host application so that you can use your application's standard manipulators to move, rotate or resize each element of the Vue environment individually.

You can use all standard tools of your application (such as alignment, scripting or even add fur to Vue elements), and you can make Vue elements interract dynamically with native objects (e.g. collision detection, etc).

Animation of Vue items can be done either through Vue (e.g. for wind effects), or using the host application's animation tools. Both types of animation are naturally combined seamlessly.

Vue 7 xStream for 3ds Max and Cinema4D will even let you paint EcoSystems interactively (on Vue objects or on native objects), directly through the host application's viewports*.
