'Nu Skool Deep House' is a collection of exceptional sounds and loops from the emerging Deep House scene, produced by Andy Lee, one of Loopmasters' most celebrated contributors. Embracing the slower BPMs and the best elements of Classic House, Nu Disco, Techno and Berlin Deep Tech, today's producers have essentially ripped up the rule book on how Dance music should sound.

Learn how to create and edit animations using production techniques.
WeпїЅre diving deeper into the world of animation in Maya 2012 with instructor Justin Harrison. Justin will be showing some best practices for creating key frame animation and animation on a path as well editing your animation and animation layers among other topics. YouпїЅll learn by direct example as Justin creates animations on a fully rigged character. The process is presented from initial concept to key poses and final animation polish.

In this course, we will cover tools and techniques for setting up character rigs in Maya.
Step by step, we'll construct a control rig that is robust and animator-friendly. We'll learn everything from proper joint placement and techniques for correcting a joint's orientation to learning fun ways we can preserve volume as our mesh deforms and how to make our controls efficient and easy to comprehend. We'll also learn how to build some fun MEL tools that will help speed up our workflow, bringing that time back into constructing our control rigs with the best methods.

In this series of lessons we'll explore the fascinating Maya Fur toolset.
We will spend most of our time with the core node of this system the Fur Description. This course is a perfect review of the fur description for those of you who are already using Fur as well as a perfect overview for new artists using Fur for the first time. We will go through the process of loading the plugin and go through each of the attributes one by one in the Fur Desc. Node. By learning more about what the individual attributes do you will be armed with the knowledge to tackle your own fur projects. This is the first part of a 2 part series covering the fur system in Maya.

In this series of lessons we're going to use a variety of modeling tools and techniques to create damage effects using a building.
Damaging 3d models presents some interesting challenges and creates new issues from a modeling point of view. Perhaps you now need to build an engine because a shot calls for the hood of your CG car to be damaged. Or the walls of your set have been damaged, displaying their inner structure. We'll cover some basic techniques for adding the needed resolution to the models. We'll talk about how different types of materials react to damage - wood vs. metal or concrete. We'll cover methods for breaking apart pieces of geometry as well as dressing the set and using dynamics to add rubble very quickly. Once done, you'll be able to apply what you've learned and start destroying your own 3d models.
