3D MODELING AND
SCULPTING
ENVIRONMENT
PRODUCTION WORKFLOW:
TIPS, TRICKS AND
CONCEPTS
With David Lesperance
3D Environment artists require an
extensive set of tools and techniques in
their arsenal in order to deal with the
complexity of a full 3D environment.
Environment artist David Lesperance will
guide you through his process for
developing 3D environments in
Environment Production Workflow – Tips,
Tricks and Concepts. Various topics are
addressed in this lecture, starting with the
composition and layout of the scene,
lighting, materials, textures, and sculpting
techniques. David begins his lecture on
composition and layout, along with some
of the techniques he uses to find the best
composition for the environment he is
designing. This includes finding the right
mood and using some quick
Adobe&#0174 Photoshop&#0174 tricks to
enhance the lighting in the scene He then
moves into Autodesk&#0174 3ds
Max&#0174 to go over his process for
developing materials in V-Ray&#0174,
starting with glass and various metal
materials, pointing out various options in
the V-Ray&#0174 material to make it
easier to troubleshoot issues when they
arise. His lecture then moves into terrain
modeling, discussing a series of
techniques he uses to design convincing
terrains. He first discusses a technique for
blending surfaces, starting by sculpting
some high resolution rock formations
using ZBrush4R4&#0174 and combining
them in 3ds Max&#0174 using some
Boolean operations. He then
demonstrates how blend materials across
the surfaces using vertex paint to control a
mask within a Blend Material. Next he
moves on to terrain building using World
Machine to generate fractal based terrain
maps and exporting displacement maps to
rapidly create terrain assets. David's next
series of lectures focus on the practical
layout, composition, texturing, and lighting
a digital environment. Here, he focuses on
the build process, starting with rough
layout, then adding various rubble assets
before moving into lighting and texturing
the environment. During the texture phase,
he discusses texture scale issues and
demonstrates how to keep texture scale
consistent across multiple assets. His final
set of lectures focus primarily on rapid
modeling and sculpting techniques he
employs in his workflow. Here, David
discusses everything from high-resolution
sub-D modeling in 3ds Max&#0174 to high
resolution sculpting techniques in
ZBrush&#0174. His primary focus inside
ZBrush&#0174 is the use of the new Insert
Multi Mesh tool and the latest updates to
Dynamesh in ZBrush4R4&#0174.

ACUPUNCTURE
ANATOMY FOR
ACUPUNCTURE
By Dr Peter T Dorsher; Dr Mike Cummings
A detailed and interactive 3D anatomy
resource aimed at both the acupuncture
practitioner and student.
For the first time you can see the positions
of 88 of the most commonly used
acupuncture points in 3D with detailed
anatomy of their needle passage, plus a
further 324 named needle points that can
be highlighted in their correct position.
All 3D models include all musculoskeletal
and vascular anatomy with descriptive text.
Anatomical alerts are provided for points
where damage would be caused by
incorrect direction or depth of insertion.
Many 3D views are also available in cross
section.
Also included are the most clinically
important myofascial trigger points - and
for the first time in any publication - their
anatomical and clinical correspondence to
acupuncture points are shown and
discussed.
Further content allows you to view and
compare the 14 main acupuncture
meridians, with points, with 42 myofascial
referred pain patterns of trigger points.

WELDING BLUEPRINTS &
SYMBOLS
Understanding how to read a blueprint and
the symbols one contains is a vital
component to constructing a welding
project. This PowerPoint&#0174
presentation focuses on blueprints and
how they are read. Building symbols and
welding symbols, as well as weld types
and weld positions, are thoroughly
discussed throughout the presentation. A
detailed welding project is included with
the lesson plan to provide the students
with a hands-on learning experience.
