Mudbox Masters Volume 1
 |
| Yes this really is the Mudbox View port..and it hows you how to create images like this |
4 years back when my last 'real' DVD was released I had
swore I'd never do more, I'd been screwed over by one firm released through
another and even self published .
Although some DVD's came out after this, they were simply repackaging the
stuff I had done for my old on demand stream and in no way new or made for a DVD. I have had offers come in fairly regularly, but
have turned some down due to them offering to pay buttons, others as I was
simply too busy with freelance gigs at the time or in some cases family
stuff. It wasn't until I worked out that
it had indeed been 4 years that the itch started to return. A lot has changed
in four years both in my art, myself and my career. So finally the time seemed
right to release again.
So today CMI VFX release 'Mudbox Masters Vol 1',which as any
good 'Volume 1' does, goes over the beginners stuff. But I wanted to make the main project
something a bit special so in this one you'll learn how to sculpt the liquid
sculpt that many of you may have seen of
mine. How to achieve that image shown live in the Mudbox viewport, which is
something that you definitely won't see on any other video anywhere. As I said,
something different and something a little bit special.
This won't be a one off and other DVD's are planned going right
up to highly advanced stuff. Let's face
it while I'm working over here in Dublin at Screen Scene as 3D lead on something
very cool that can't talk about I do
have rather a lot of spare time on a night time. Now on the negative side, every time any DVD of
mine has came out over the last 12 years or so the main site always ends up
getting hacked inside of 10 days after a release, so I fully expect someone to
do so again. LOL
Now to those who had a damn good whinge last time I was releasing
videos about me 'being everywhere and there not being space for anyone else'...
You've had four clear years where most non DVD training I have done has been
for other apps such as 3Ds max or Vue,I've kept pretty clear of Mudbox for quite some time on the video side. So play times over and you've had 4 years
to release stuff lol. So I'm back and I fully intend on kicking some
tutorial arse over the coming months.
So go and buy the DVD as I did put over 48 hours worth of my
old DVDs up for free for you guys earlier in the year...or was it last year I
can't remember lol. But the point is.. now it's time for the new stuff. Put your hand in your pocket as its less than
the cost of a night out...plus you get to bitch to all your friends about how
you can't stand my accent. Now that's surely
worth the price of DVD alone ;)
As an update on the job at Screen scene in my 3D Dept, 2 people
have been chosen, the FX / Fume role is yet to be filled. But!.... more 3d peeps are required so get your
CV's and reels into screen scene. Just say Wayne sent ya ;)
