3D動畫制作面部特征與表情(3D animation,facial features and expressions)

本書首先教給您一些關于人類頭部構造、面部器官以及面部肌肉的基本知識,然後告訴您如何利用3D來建立人物的面部模型和肌肉組織,以及如何使動畫顯得逼真 生動。本書還詳細地講解了口型動畫以及如何把語言和聲音融入各種各樣的表情(如悲傷、高興、結巴等等)。此外,書中還提供了許多利用加權變形創作人物表情 所需要的變形目標、典型的音位發音姿勢、卡通表情範例、面部表情範例以及一些僅供娛樂的卡通表情。在這一版中,還新增了兩章,教您如何運用3ds Max和Maya這兩種軟件來制作面部表情動畫。所有這?技術都可以應用到您親手制作的游戲角色、各種各樣的動物以及其它動畫角色中去。

Making Things See: 3D Vision With Kinect, Processing, Arduino, and MakerBot

This detailed, hands-on guide provides the technical and conceptual information you need to build cool applications with Microsoft’s Kinect, the amazing motion-sensing device that enables computers to see. Through half a dozen meaty projects, you’ll learn how to create gestural interfaces for software, use motion capture for easy 3D character animation, 3D scanning for custom fabrication, and many other applications.
Perfect for hobbyists, makers, artists, and gamers, Making Things See shows you how to build every project with inexpensive off-the-shelf components, including the open source Processing programming language and the Arduino microcontroller. You’ll learn basic skills that will enable you to pursue your own creative applications with Kinect.
  • Create Kinect applications on Mac OS X, Windows, or Linux
  • Track people with pose detection and skeletonization, and use blob tracking to detect objects
  • Analyze and manipulate point clouds
  • Make models for design and fabrication, using 3D scanning technology
  • Use MakerBot, RepRap, or Shapeways to print 3D objects
  • Delve into motion tracking for animation and games
  • Build a simple robot arm that can imitate your arm movements
  • Discover how skilled artists have used Kinect to build fascinating projects

Professional Unity and C#: Multi-Platform 3D Game Development

The first professional book on Unity, the multi-platform, dynamic 3D game engine
As a dynamic, graphically rich 3D game engine, Unity3D stands out from its competitors because it works on nearly every desktop and mobile platform. This book is the first of its kind to offer a technical look at professional-level programming of games using C#. You’ll begin with learning how to install Unity3D and gradually move on to more advanced coding topics in C#. Each object is introduced, applied to the code, demonstrated through examples, and added to an example game that is built upon throughout the book. By the end of the book, you will be encouraged to create a game and upload it to a site where other users can view and comment on it, cultivating the learning process through constructive criticism and interaction.
  • Explains how to maximize the unique capabilities of Unity3D for programming games
  • Discusses advanced coding topics concerning working with C#
  • Highlights creating shaders that will manipulate the way graphics are rendered by the game engine
  • Extends the reach of the book beyond the Unity3D user base by discussing how Unity3D is an ideal way to break into the social Web site market
  • Addresses a plethora of C# questions
  • Demystifies Unity3D co-routines and the yield statement in a clear and concise manner
Whether you use this book as a tutorial or reference manual for working with Unity3D and C#, you will most certainly find it to be invaluable.

3D-SCAPES 景觀軟體

3Dscapes was founded to help our clients Visualize the true potential of a Landscape Design.

3Dscapes has the Goal to Design your Paradise at home! Your home is the ultimate expression of who you are, which is why your landscape should be as well-appointed, warm and inviting as the interior. Your landscape is a major investment that will increase the value of your home and add hours of outdoor enjoyment for years to come. You want to make sure your future backyard is perfect down to the smallest detail. Most Landscape Companies offer flat 2D drawings of designs. While these plans and printouts give you an overview of your design, important details are often difficult to understand. 3Dscapes takes designing to another level with real life 3D Artistic renderings. For example, have you considered how your new landscape will enhance the view from your kitchen? Have you thought about how the color and surface of the decking will match your house color; or how the arrangement of lights will help you enjoy your yard at night? How will your maturing trees provide shade throughout the day? No flat drawing can properly show these details. But 3Dscapes can and will give you the fully rendered experience you need, to make the important decisions about your investment.
