The Refinery Project is a four chapter tutorial that demonstrates, in real-time, how to bring a static image to life in seven hours. Starting with a static photo of an oil refinery, Alex integrates 2D and 3D elements using Maya, After Effects and Photoshop.
Chapter One: Sprite Rendered Smokestacks
In chapter one, sprite rendered smoke is added to several of the refinery's smokestacks. Topics include: Importing the image plane, aligning the 3D camera, adding 3D reference geometry, volume emission, fields, sprite set-up, expressions, adjusting particle speed without changing behavior, hardware rendering separate elements, motion blur, particle disk caching, compositing, color correction and final integration.

These videos reveal the artistic and technical approach that CG artist Jeff Unay takes to model a hyper-realistic hand with Autodesk Maya and Autodesk Mudbox.
In part one you will see how to sculpt the primary forms of the hand. In part two you will follow a 2 hour time-lapse of sculpting which include Jeff's comments. In parts 3 and 4 you will continue detailing the hand and preparing for deformations. In part 5 you will see how to incorporate blend shapes for use in conjunction with the joint rig. Part 6 concludes the series through sculpting the finger and thumb deformations with a look at the final result of all shapes working with the joint rig.
Please note: This is a compilation of the video podcast series 'Model and Sculpt a Hand' which was previously released under the Maya Video Podcast 'Modeling' section.

With the fundamentals of softbody effects understood, this lecture moves on to more specific applications. The first group of demonstrated techniques focus on a variety of ground plane effects including oceans, puddles, mud, sand and snow. Each of these are related, yet differ in how they react to external stimuli such as fields and collisions. Water reacts quickly yet the deformation is scale dependant: an ocean responds with large swells while a shallow puddle produces fast-moving, tight ripples. Mud, sand and snow effects are much slower reactions where the surface will gradually (if ever) return to smooth equilibrium. The lecture then moves on techniques for combining softbodies with rigid bodies, blendshape deformers and auxilliary spring effects for the creation of flags, saliva, and interconnected softbodies.
