This course, taught by Siju Thomas is going to focus on learning to sculpt with an artistic perspective. The course will be grounded in anatomically accurate sculpture of a humanoid creature form?a hunter turned were-lion or a gorilla-man. We will be building a character from inside out finishing the body and then finishing the cloth all as separate parts. I love the idea of learning the app through a project - it's really the best way.

In this episode (the first of a small series on Strings) Jon takes a look at the beloved, intense, misunderstood and vast System.String class. He'll walk you through Equality - how to tell if a string truly equals another, Interning and if you should care about it, and Concatenation: when do you need a StringBuilder?
9 - String Manipulation
In this episode Jon shows you how to manipulate strings using Substring, IndexOf and Split.
10 - Regular Expressions
In this episode Jon walks you through 3 scenarios where Regular Expressions can help - and also hurt. Simple string replacement and matching, as well as a more complicated example of log parsing.
11 - Encoding
In this episode Jon shows you the various ways that C# represents strings and how you can manipulate encodings.
12 - Cultures
In this ever-so-brief episode Jon shares his experience with "The Turkey Test" - and ways to deal with Cultures and strings. It's short, but it's very valuable.
13 - Dates and Time
In this episode Jon dives deep into Timespan and DateTime - and how the .NET framework designers dealt with the interesting ways that humans deal with time.
14 - Conditions and Loops
In this episode Jon dives into controlling the flow of execution in your application using structures such as if/else, for, while, and break/continue.

Arroway - Wood Textures Volume Three | 10.8Gb
Arroway - Wood Textures Volume Three | 10.8Gb
This collection contains a cross-section of wood species from North, Middle and South America and thus provides a broad spectrum of different styles, ranging from the mundane to the exotic.
The manufacturing of wood veneers takes great skill as well as experience. Similarly, the creation of textures out of such veneers takes a lot of knowhow and is a very time and resources consuming task. The use of our innovative scanning process made it possible to digitize large veneered panels in high resolution while avoiding the problem of surface reflection. The thus obtained 4GB of raw data per wood species were then processed into high-quality textures using our tried and tested map creation techniques.
This new texture collection has been produced to the same high standards as the first two parts and concludes our very successful wood veneer series.
Further details
The collection contains large-scale veneer textures of 33 wood species from North, Middle and South America. There are three textures sets available for every wood species, each with different area and resolution:
* approx. 3m x 4m (9.8ft x 13.1ft) at 51dpi (6000px x 8000px)
* approx. 3m x 1m (9.8ft x 3.3ft) at 85dpi (10000px x 3300px)
* approx. 3m x 0.36m (9.8ft x 1.2ft) at 127dpi (15000px x 1800px)

Interface
=========
What exactly is an "interface"? The interface is the interaction or communication point between various software and hardware components and you, the developer. An easier way to think about the interface of a software program is that the interface determines how the work environment looks, where the menus and buttons are located, the colors and icons of the tools, and how you actually use the software. design3's interface tutorials will teach you how to use the software tools, streamline your workflows, and maximize the full potential of your projects.
Techniques
==========
Every tool has unique features that do specific things. Learn how to efficiently and effectively use these features with design3's technique tutorials. Work like the pros, maximize the potential of your tools, save time, and create amazing projects.
Game Builds
===========
A game build determines your game's progression and is basically what your players will use to play your game. In these tutorials you'll learn the basic structures for different types of genres by dissecting already built games. First play the game in the design3 arcade and then find out how that game was made by working through the tutorials.
Coding
======
Coding is the process of designing, writing, testing, debugging, and maintaining the source code for your games. This source code is written in one or more programming languages with the purpose of creating specific operations or desired behaviors. Learn basic AI, animation scripting, networking scripting, gameplay programming, and more with these tutorials.
Mobile
======
Want to make mobile games? In these tutorials you will learn how to make games for iOS and Android, as well as how to deploy them to the App Store and App Marketplace. Our goal is to not only help you make great mobile games, but also make money from them too.
Asset Integration
=================
You've created or gathered the assets, now it's time to put those assets into your game. These asset integration tutorials will demonstrate how to put your 2D and 3D assets, such as models, textures, and characters, into various game engines. Learn how to organize and manage your assets in order to improve your workflows and see your custom content in a game environment.

CG Academy - Intermediate Rigging Set (Vol 1-4)
CG Academy - Intermediate Rigging Set (Vol 1-4)
English| Author : Paul Neale| ISO | 7.49 GB
Genre: Video Training
This four DVD boxed set will take your through a comprehensive tour of state of the art rigging techniques for 3dsmax. This series teaches how to rig and skin every part of the supplied character (an ogre modelled by Paul) and in many cases will show multiple approaches to the same problem, leaving you free to pick the blend that suits your needs. This series has been a smash hit with our customers and is very much a recommended purchase for anyone that has basic rigging under their belts and now wants to push their skills to new levels.
Due to the increasing and wholly necessary levels of scripting in the later DVDs in this series. A highly recommended companion purchase is the MAXScript Fundamentals Series boxed set for those that have very limited or no max script skills.
TOPICS COVERED
DVD 1: FK Spine, Leg & Foot Rig
In this DVD Paul will take you through rigging the Ogre's Spine using an FK system in conjunction with wired control objects. He then demonstrates how to create an inverse foot rig using reactor controllers and scripted custom attributes to facilitate a smooth foot-roll system. Finally we learn how to modify the leg bones using expression controllers to create a working leg stretch system.
DVD 2: Spline IK, Arm 7 hand Rig
In this DVD Paul continues his Ogre rig with a second approach to producing a spine rig using a custom Spline IK solution. He then moves on to producing an arm rig that demonstrates two unique methods for an arm bone twist solution. Finally Paul demonstrates how to rig a hand and produce a comprehensive GUI for it using custom attributes and MAXScript.
DVD 3: Skinning Techniques
In this DVD Paul deals with many of the aspects of skinning a character using 3dsmax's Skin modifier. Starting with weighting via envelopes Paul then moves on to build on this foundation with weight painting and blending. Further control is then added via muscle bones, skin deformers and springs for dynamic flexing of the Ogre's stomach.
DVD 4: Facial Rigging Techniques
In this final DVD in Paul Neale's Intermediate Rigging Series , Paul looks at two completely different ways to setup the Ogre's facial animation rig. In the first half of the DVD we look at the eye rigs dilation and directional controls, and then move on to a morph centric system that only uses a bone for jaw movement. In the second half of the DVD we look at a bone based system that allows for very fine an intuitive control over the Ogre's features. A six hour plus DVD, jam packed with insights and a must buy for any budding or professional rigging TD.

Club Swinging Essentials
Club Swinging Essentials
English | DVDR | NTSC 4:3 | (720x480) | MPEG2 ~3954 kbps | 01:47:23 | 3.62 GB
Genre: Video Training
Few tools are more elemental, natural and enduring than the Club. Certainly primitive or developing humans picked up heavy sticks to crack open food or swung them for defense. Children pick up spoons and other objects and bang on whatever is available. As adults, the games we play can involve "clubs" in a variety of shapes and designs, including the golf club, baseball bat, and cricket bat.A look at ancient Hindu texts reveals pictures of Hindu deities carrying clubs. These images indicate that the club has roughly a 5000-year history.
So-called "Indian Clubs" made the trip to the West as a result of British Colonialism. They eventually gained popularity in the United States in the late-1800s and were widely used in the German Gymnastics system called the Turnvereine. One of these, which became known as Turner Halls in the US, was still active when Dr. Ed Thomas was growing up in Davenport, Iowa.
Club swinging was highly developed and popular in Davenport for several generations when Dr. Thomas began training with them around the age of eight. He eventually began teaching the art to a few of his university students in the early 1980s, and continued searching for instructors. In 1988, he went to Burma as a Fulbright Scholar and studied under a classical club swinging instructor for nine months. Along the way, he has also found club swinging instruction in Korea, Germany and other places.
Despite its illustrious history as an Olympic sport in 1904 and 1932 and its presence in Army physical training doctrine from around 1885-1980, we currently find ourselves in the perplexing situation of it being reintroduced as a training implement. Add to this the fact that there are at best only a handful of people alive today who are truly familiar with the art of classical club swinging, it is truly a skill worth learning.
Club Swinging Essentials seeks to ground Club swinging as a restorative art and to bring Mindful Movement to the "extreme" fitness culture. The manual and DVD reveal, and detail, an essential group of classical Club swinging movements and provide a bit of history and perspective.
Below is an excerpt from the introduction of the Club Swinging Essentials Manual. Gray Cook and Brett Jones have been extremely fortunate to work with Dr. Ed Thomas in taking his club swinging system to the public. A disappearing art, club swinging provides a high neural demand on movement and coordination.
Why Swing Clubs?
Not to answer a question with a question but allow me to ask you: "Do you have a restorative art as part of your fitness regime?" What is a restorative art?
The fact that you may have felt the need to follow my question answering the first question with a question means you probably don't have a restorative art in your fitness regime.
A restorative art seeks to bring the body back to an optimal state of balance. It is the balance to the heavy, "extreme" training common in today's gym. In the past there were three systems in physical education: Martial, Restorative and Pedagogical. Today we are heavily slanted toward the Pedagogical (games and sport) where the push is to achieve what we call "fitness". This push to run faster or farther or lift more weight pushes us out of balance. A restorative art like club swinging seeks to release the tension and stress of "extreme" fitness training.

"Build Rhythm, Comfort, And Attraction On The Dance Floor Today!"
Believe it or not, you CAN LEARN to dance! The dance system taught on this DVD was created from learning and combining years of experience in different dance styles, spending countless (but enjoyable!) hours in the club refining the moves, and most importantly, actually teaching guys how to dance in clubs! Watch, learn, and step up your dancing today!
This no-frills beginner series features:
* Basic rhythm exercises
* Easy dance moves to get you moving
* Important practice sessions you can repeat
* Several different music styles played in clubs
* Demos of dance moves with girls
* Bonus moves to step up your dancing once you have the basics down
Club Dance For Men Level 2: Confidence
"EASY To Learn Dance Moves That Will Sculpt You Into A CONFIDENT Dancer!"
Continuing on Club Dance For Men Level 1, Club Dance For Men Level 2 steps it up a notch to develop your club dancing and to sculpt you into a confident dancer when you go out. The program uses the same solid formula of breaking down easy-to-learn dance moves, practicing them, and making them look great.
Club Dance For Men Level 1 gets you comfortable to take your first steps on the dance floor. Level 2 doubles your arsenal of dance moves to get you dancing and having a great time in the clubs. You can now choose to blend in with the dancing crowd or making your presence known on the dance floor.
I mean it. I named Level 2 "Confidence" because I truly believe that dancing well will build your confidence immensely. I am a HUGE fan of personal development and even run my own website on this topic. I've seen the smiles and changes men make by learning how to dance. I myself am a living example. Let's face it. You probably have many years ahead of you, and TONS OF OPPORTUNITIES for you to dance. Dancing is the spice of life, and it's never too late to start.
Still designed with beginners in mind, Level 2 puts more focus on style and combining body movements, so BE PREPARED to create more movement and to use your shoulders, hips, and hands more. Again, all the dance moves are club-tested. I've spent an immeasurable time in the clubs and teaching guys how to dance so everything I teach is FOR REAL.
The moves work on all kinds of club music: hip hop, house, trance, techno, dance, rock, etc. Some moves are explained to work better with certain kinds of music than others.
Club Dance For Men Level 2 features:
* New club-tested dance moves for all kinds of club music
* Stylish movement to create action on the dance floor
* Focused lessons on musicality and style
* Important practice sessions you can repeat
* Several different music styles played in clubs (over 40 different tracks used!)
