The course contains an introduction to Single Sign-On An in depth explanation of the Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) and the ADFS version 2 server. In depth means: bits and bytes of the HTTP requests and responses, HttpModules, and customization. The analysis of the protocol is done with Fiddler2 and code analysis with Reflector. It also covers the Claims Language, Metadata and SAML2 partners. One module walks through some common scenarios and shows with code and configuration how to implement them.

Creating Particle and Fire Effects with Maya, author Aaron F. Ross employs Maya particles and fluids to generate stunning special effects simulations, including exploding fireworks, tumbling snowflakes, and burning flames. Following a project-based approach, the course shows how to emit and render particles, write expressions to control and fine-tune effects, and animate and shade dynamic fluids. Tutorials on batch rendering and compositing in After Effects are also included. Exercise files accompany the course.
Topics include:
- Laying out the scene
- Sketching particles on a Live object
- Connecting particles to Fields such as Gravity
- Emitting particles from particles
- Varying particle shader attributes
- Modeling and shading for the Particle Instancer
- Importing and instancing geometry onto particles
- Randomizing particle rotation with Creation and Runtime Expressions
- Adding Turbulence
- Rendering depth of field with mental ray
- Creating 3D Fluid containers
- Emitting dynamic fluid attributes from an object
- Animating a dynamic fluid
- Using a fluid for atmosphere
- Modulating light intensity with a noise expression

Graphisoft Archicad 15 International iSO X86/X64-ENGiNE
16/07/2011 | X86: 1.12GB | X64: 1.17GB
ArchiCAD 15 enriches architectural forms available for designers to unleash their creative minds, and it also expands the scope of the BIM workflow to include renovation & refurbishment projects.
Enriched architectural forms
The evolution of forms has always walked hand-in-hand with the evolution of structures. From the simplest barrel vaults to the most sophisticated rib vaults, the architect has always aspired to combine durability, utility and beauty (Vitruvius). These very principles can be seen in the finest examples of Modern architecture as well. ArchiCAD 15 expands the design capabilities of its BIM tools, including new Shell structures, to support the broadest spectrum of architectural shapes and forms found in both classical and modern architecture.
New definition of design space
The evolution of the design process has gone through at least as many revolutionary steps as the forms and structures themselves. During the course of the past few decades, architects have gradually left the "flat-lands" of 2D sketching for the exciting "high-lands" of designing in 3D virtual spaces. The increase in freedom brought about by the third dimension, however, adds a new degree of difficulty to orientation in space as well. ArchiCAD 15 introduces 3D guidelines and editing planes to revolutionize the 3D space definition, making the perspective view the natural, 3D environment for building design.
Renovation workflow support
The advent of modern technology has significantly increased the life-cycle of a building. As a result, renovation and refurbishment projects are nearly equal to the volume of new buildings in most of the developed areas of the world. ArchiCAD 15 expands the design scope to renovation and refurbishment projects with native BIM design and documentation workflow support all the way through.
Best-in-class BIM workflow
In addition to the impressive list of new and refined design tools and workflows, ArchiCAD 15 includes improvements to its IFC interface and OPEN collaboration workflow with engineers, full 64-bit support for the Mac OS, and improvements to its parametric object libraries as well.

VTC.com : WordPress 3.1 for Designers-JGTiSO
English | mp4 166kbps | 800×600 10fps | AAC 44.1khz |574.77 MB
Genre: VideoTraining
WordPress is one of the most popular content management systems so it’s important for web designers to offer WordPress services. This VTC course will help you understand how the software works and, in particular,how themes are made. WordPress themes control both the look and many of the functions of a website, so you need to know how to work with theme files.
Author George Plumley will demonstrate how to implement your designs in a theme or convert an existing site into a theme Customizing theme functionality for each client is also important and you’ll learn to create page templates. You will also learn how to use plugins to provide clients with key functionality, such as forms, social media, photo management, and even e-commerce.

The Gnomon Workshop Creating A 3D Figure Study DVD-iRONiSO |
Genre: eLearning
This lecture demonstrates a technique that encourages the artist to pursue three-hour figure gesture studies in 3D. These 3D gesture ‘paintings’ allow the artist to experiment and avoid being consumed with the detail work ordinarily associated with the medium of 3D. While a reference photograph is used for the purposes of the lecture, the techniques have been developed under the time constraints of working in front of a live model. Techniques will be demonstrated for the three phases of creating a quick study; modeling, texturing and lighting using ZBrush, 3D Coat and Modo. Each of the phases will be built from the ground up, and the purpose of each component is demonstrated. This methodology can easily serve as a foundational ‘underpaint’ for a more polished, realized work. When the underpaint is solid, more finished work is solely a matter of adding additional layers and filling in details.

Capturing the Pose
