This presentation covers the theory and practice of furthering the illusion of 3D by using stereoscopic techniques. Louis covers the approach of an 'easy camera setup' with rules for efficiency. Next, he demonstrates the process of a 'true camera setup'. Finally, Louis explains the method of 'anaglyph stereoscopy' for red/blue glasses. This includes a chapter on compositing in Autodesk Combustion. Please note that although much of the presentation is conducted in 3dsMax, these techniques can be applied in Maya as well.

Get the inside story with Building a Character for Games where an industry professional reveals the intricacies of character modeling. Using the library of body parts included on this DVD, build a low-poly model that is optimized for game play and then refine it to reate the hi-poly model you need to generate normal maps. Work with symmetrical and asymmetrical geometry; add just enough detail to make the character stand out; adjust smoothing groups as needed. Learn to identify trouble spots and avoid quirks that would otherwise come up during the debug phase in a professional games pipeline.
Finally, admire your results in a convincing human figure that is ready for rigging.

Learn a variety of character rig creation methods Authored by Laurent M. Abecassis, founder of Di-O-Matic, a company that develops character animation plug-ins and custom plug-ins for 3ds Max as well as interactive training CDs
Learning Objectives:
Creating Interactive Tools to Improve Your Workflow
Correcting Motion Capture Animation on a Biped
Using Mesh Slicing for Better Character Rig Approximation
Creating a Complex Rig in Minutes
