The Gnomon Workshop – The Techniques of Syd Mead

Gmonon – The Techniques of Syd Mead (Vol.1-4)

Volume 1: Thumbnail Sketching and Line Drawings

Syd\'s first DVD introduces the student to the principles of creating
thumbnail sketches and subsequent line drawings in the process of creating
a successful composition. Topics illustrated include establishing value
using only shades of black, and then using those shades to identify levels
of detail in the composition, including vehicles, architecture, people and
foliage. He guides the viewer through the process of choosing appropriate
camera angles, and determining the geometry of the image. Syd goes through
the process of defining proportion, the horizon line, the vanishing point,
perspective and the ground plane, resulting in a series of sketches ready
for further development.

Volume 2: Value Sketching

The second DVD in the Syd Mead series, this lesson introduces the viewer
to the process of creating the Value Preliminary. Using a series of grey
to black markers, Syd shows you how to illustrate your image once you\'ve
determined the picture composition and sketch views. He guides the artist
through a step-by-step process of choosing the best view and, using only a
series of nine grey markers, he shows how to create a value system for
your illustration, explaining that the more you establish your value range
at this stage, the more you ensure the visual sense of your final picture.
Using felt tip markers of varying values, Syd guides the user through the
process of creating detail, blocking shadows, indicating highlights and
defining the detail on the Value Preliminary.

Volume 3: Creating the Color Preliminary

Using the value study prepared during the previous DVD, the artist is
ready to create a color version of the Value Preliminary. Using a prepared
line drawing, Syd guides the artist through the physical creation of a
gouache miniature color preliminary of the scene. He details how this part
of the process helps the artist experiment, determine his color needs and
show the client a good representation of the final product before
producing the larger illustration. Syd shows the viewer how to prepare
cold press finish board, mix paint samples and create a custom color
palette in preparation for completing the final rendering.

Volume 4: Final Gouache Rendering

In this final DVD, starting with a piece of blank cold press illlustration
board, Syd takes the viewer through the process of creating the final
gouache rendering of his initial composition. He talks about how to create
and prepare a transfer sheet in order to trace down and block in the
original line drawing. Once the illustration is transferred, Syd uses the
color preliminary as a guide and demonstrates how to use the pre-mixed
custom color palette to add detail to the illustration one area at a time.
Using this method, he adds detail from background to foreground, retracing
at each stage, re-establishing detail areas and completing the
illustration.

Boujou 4.1

Boujou 4.1 is the latest point release of the Emmy award-winning,
industry-standard camera and object tracking solution.
Containing the powerful features of boujou 4, the same fast and robust
automatic tracking coupled with new and enhanced features, boujou 4.1
enables you to exploit everything in the shot.All the familiar features
from boujou 4 including:

FASTER, BETTER CAMERA SOLVES
An improved solver, more feedback and more tools enable you to exploit
everything in the shot. Solve from an approximate camera path – boujou 4
can improve an existing camera path by filling in the gaps or by
optimizing the camera position.

MODEL-BASED CAMERA AND OBJECT TRACKING
Survey points – Import survey information in the form of a 3D mesh to
improve the accuracy of a 3D solve.

Eyeballing – Very occasionally boujou can't get the camera position
correct. boujou 4 enables you to import a 3D object to eyeball the
approximate camera positions on certain frames. boujou can then work out
the camera positions for the whole shot.

IMPORT AND EXPORT 3D MESHES
Import your test objects to assess the quality of your shots. Export a 3D
mesh of the 3D points calculated in boujou enabling you to create shadow
casting objects or 3D terrain.

Control the number of 3D points generated by boujou. Reduce the number of
3D points so that only the most accurate are exported. Export more 3D
points to make a more detailed mesh.

GUI IMPROVEMENTS
boujou 4's interface has been re-designed for a much smoother workflow.
