Swift 3D plug-ins allow 3ds Max and LightWave 3D users to render their 3D scenes as high-quality, low-bandwidth vector or raster Flash animations viewable by more than 97% of the entire Web audience. Powered by the industry-leading RAViX 4 vector rendering technology, Swift 3D plug-ins offer superior integration with Flash and unrivaled vector output. From cartoon to full gradient shading, Swift 3D plug-ins are certain to produce the style you need for your next Flash or print project. Additional export formats include Adobe Illustrator, EPS, SVG and Toon Boom’s PNT format.

One of the most powerful 3D applications on the market, Maya 2010, now includes three complimentary bundled applications: MatchMover, powerful camera matching software; Toxik, a node-based compositor; and Backburner, a network rendering manager for Maya, 3ds Max, and Toxik. In Maya 2010: Getting Started with MatchMover, Toxik, and Backburner, instructor George Maestri demonstrates how to use these applications with Maya’s existing powerful feature set to create engaging 3D animations. Exercise files accompany the course.

Description: 3ds Max 2010 Lighting and Rendering with mental ray explores one of the most powerful toolsets for photorealistic 3D image visualization: the mental ray renderer in 3ds Max. Aaron F. Ross shows how to use mental ray's combination of materials, lighting, and rendering to achieve a variety of effects, from glossy surfaces to reflections and transparency. He provides an in-depth review of photometrics and the tools used to adjust lighting in 3ds Max, including brightness, intensity, and color temperature along with a wide variety of lighting scenarios. Aaron also devotes time to getting the most out of mental ray's powerful rendering engine and improving render efficiency. Exercise files are included with this course.
