This DVD, takes you through the entire process of creating an environment with 3ds Max starting with the analysis of reference photographs and determining real world object dimensions, all the way through the 3D modeling and texturing pipeline. Master will teach you how to spot the visual cues that will allow you to quickly and accurately determine dimensions from set photographs. You will also learn how to build quick layout files for modeling and animation and how to model and texture an entire environment from photographic reference. Many artistic and technical challenges are addressed such as understanding perspective, modeling architecture, tile roofs, stone pathways as well as decay and general destruction.

Including hundreds of exciting 3D models and photos, pre-built templates, lighting sets, paints and other fantastic and easy-to-use tools, Home Creative Studio allows you to combine your digital pictures with 3D models and characters, creating compelling personalised print projects such as comic strips, cartoons, invitations and greetings cards.

This DVD covers a general introduction to the principles of Global Illumination, which are essential to the understanding of this specialized form of lighting. While the series primarily uses V-Ray as the render engine in a 3ds Max environment, those using other GI renderers will also benefit from the conceptual techniques described. From the general concepts of reflected specular and diffuse light, to sky lights and image based lighting with HDRIs.

Альбом растительных орнаментов, составленный из работ французского художника Мориса Пийара Вернейя (1869-1942). (Уильям Вилер -это составитель и комментатор альбома.)
Замечательный пример стилизации форм растений.

Из аннотации издательства:
Книга "Декоративные цветы" воспроизводит 178 изящных ботанических этюдов Вернейя и вариаций декора на эту тему; все они выполнены в цвете и эстетике, свойственной Art Nouveau. Кроме текста самого Вернейя - он был яростным защитником идеи важности цвета и его влияния на чувственное восприятие - в книге имеются комментарии Уильяма Вилера, составителя данного издания. Хотя этюды Вернейя о метаморфозах обычных цветов в замысловатый изысканный рисунок созданы почти сто лет назад, они по сию пору не теряют своей привлекательности.

The premise of this book is that individuals and societies have an inexorable urge to morally develop by challenging the assumptions of the previous generation in terms of what is right and wrong. The focus is on the nature and functional value of conflicts and challenges to the dominant moral and social values framework. Through this analysis, individuals develop moral character through conflict with their local authority figures, including parents. The moral structure of societies evolves through intergenerational challenges to and contradictions with the dominant social order.
