Gnomon Workshop Offers Seven New DVDs
The Gnomon Workshop has released seven new leading edge DVDs covering photogrammetry, digital set design and ZBrush techniques.
Introducing the photographic realm to the Gnomon Workshop digital library, Gnomon welcomes Greg Downing, who’s DVDs introduce you to the fundamentals of photogrammetry, the process of creating 3D environments from panoramas. Downing’s DVDs give you an in-depth lesson on capturing high-resolution environments, building sets from those images and reconstructing the resulting environment in 3D. Downing, a highly accomplished photographer and artist, has created images for years and worked at Realviz in France and as a technical director for Rhythm & Hues Studios in Los Angeles.
They also introduce the first DVDs from The Gnomon Workshop’s Eric Hanson, a master modeler for such films as THE FIFTH ELEMENT, BICENTENNIAL MAN, MISSION TO MARS, HOLLOW MAN, CAST AWAY and THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. He provides a detailed look into his set-creation process. Hanson’s three invaluable Urban Environment DVDs teach you to design, model, light, texture, render and composite a digital set using Maya and Shake.
Adding to the very successful ZBrush titles, Gnomon’s director Alex Alvarez returns to DVD production with the creation of his first ZBrush title. Adding a character dimension to this popular series, his eight-hour DVD teaches students to model and texture a head using this powerful package.
“We’re very excited about these new titles,” said Alvarez. “Greg Downing’s DVDs highlight the unique techniques he’s developed in the field of panoramic spherical photography and image based modeling. Eric Hanson, a leader in creating digital sets for film, offers DVDs that introduce the student to digital set creation. These are great additions to the Gnomon Workshop library, and for anyone interested in learning great techniques from these highly talented artists.”
