Explore the world of modeling and texturing game props and assets in Autodesk 3ds Max. Author Adam Crespi demonstrates how to create both small and large props, from tools to shipping containers. The course begins with cloning and instancing objects for ease of modeling and unwrapping, and segues into multiple methods of unwrapping and painting texture by hand in Adobe Photoshop. Adam looks at various plug-ins that assist with normal map generation as well as sculpting in Mudbox, a digital sculpting application that can add realism and detail to your models. Finally, the course shows how to add lights to a scene and preview the objects in-game. Note: A familiarity of basic modeling and unwrapping techniques in 3ds Max and a working knowledge of Photoshop will help you get the most out of this course.

Learn and benefit from my step-by-step techniques for building websites fast and easy using HTML5, CSS3 rules and div tags. I make it all so simple using NO hand coding just the Dreamweaver GUI - interface. This course assumes you know nothing about Dreamweaver but at the same time even if you are a Dreamweaver user with many years of experience you are still going to learn many production techniques and design short cuts. In this course we will define a website, FTP upload and download and edit web pages. Create CSS rules for our HTML tags and link all the webpages together, using my time tested web design and web development production techniques
