Comprehensive animation course: principles, objects, characters

Thu, 18 Oct 2018 14:34:27 +0200

Character rigging with Duik and After Effects is one thing, but one other thing is animation!
It's time to learn how to make characters move, and even better, to give them a soul and a heart, to animate them!

In this very complete video course, I'm sharing my experience as an animator with you.
You'll learn:

how to think to prepare your animation,
practical and technical tips and tricks to get nice and precise motion at first,
then, how to characterize the characters, to give them their soul, intentions, and temperament.

Pardon my French!
Please, keep in mind that I'm French and I live in France, so recording this tutorial is not easy ;) Please pardon my hesitations and my accent!
If you understand French, it's available in French here.

In this comprehensive animation course

We're going to focus on animation, on motion.
This course is not very technical: I won't talk about character setup, (other courses are and will be available for this) and I won't talk much about how to use After Effects animation tools - I just explain a little bit the important Graph Editor at the beginning of the course.
That means you should know at least a little how to use After Effects before following this course!

These are a few prerequesites (this list is not exhaustive) :

Having some knowledge about keyframes and eases (types and how to use)
Having (tried to) use the Graph Editor
Knowing the important keyboard shortcuts ("P", "U", "R", "W", "V" etc.)
Knowing what the "shy mode" is and what it does on layers

This being said, this course is made for beginners in animation.

As this course already lasts more than 8 hours, I'm talking about "semi realistic" animation only, somewhere between cartoonish and realisitic, but with these basics you can then practice other styles of animations.
I would have like to talk about the "animation exposure" too, something originally used in traditionnal animation but which can be very interesting when animating with softwares and rigs too.
All these matters may be covered in another tutorial one day...

The nice characters used in this course were designed by my talented friend Justine Cunha. Watch her work here or on Instagram!
The character rigging has been made by Léa Saint Raymond and myself, using an early version of Duik Bassel.

All these files are available with the course.
I wish you a nice course, and I can't wait to see your animations!

Hadoop emerged in response to the proliferation of masses and masses of data collected by organizations, offering a strong solution to store, process, and analyze what has commonly become known as Big Data. It comprises a comprehensive stack of components designed to enable these tasks on a distributed scale, across multiple servers and thousands of machines.

Learning Hadoop 2 introduces you to the powerful system synonymous with Big Data, demonstrating how to create an instance and leverage Hadoop ecosystem's many components to store, process, manage, and query massive data sets with confidence.

We open this course by providing an overview of the Hadoop component ecosystem, including HDFS, Sqoop, Flume, YARN, MapReduce, Pig, and Hive, before installing and configuring our Hadoop environment. We take a look at Hue, the graphical user interface of Hadoop.
We will then discover HDFS, Hadoop’s file-system used to store data. We will learn how to import and export data, both manually and automatically. Afterward, we turn our attention toward running computations using MapReduce, and get to grips working with Hadoop’s scripting language, Pig. Lastly, we will siphon data from HDFS into Hive, and demonstrate how it can be used to structure and query data sets.

Writing better CSS with LESS

Mon, 14 Sep 2015 21:08:08 +0200

What is LESS and Why to use it

Less is a superset of CSS and a pre-processor programming language, often referred as "Dynamic CSS".

LESS syntax is modelled after traditional CSS
LESS compiles into standard CSS3
LESS allows you to extend your CSS with great features such as : Variables for faster maintenance, Mixins as re-usable objects, Nesting for a cleaner stylesheet structure, Math calculations with the Operators.
Less code and more work done !

While CSS is a great language, it has its limitations.
For example, if you have a color code used multiple times in your stylesheet, you need to edit this one multiple times to update your design. Very tedious process!
LESS is great for the following reasons. :

Allows to cut down one code and save time
Reduce repetition (DRY) and mistakes
It makes logical sense to break out CSS into multiple files with the feature

Every web developer or front-end UI engineer should use LESS over traditional CSS

What you will learn in this LESS video tutorial :

In the first section, you will :

learn how to define Variables for faster maintenance.
learn how to declare Mixins as reusable objects
learn about Nesting for a cleaner stylesheet structure.
learn how to perform mathematical calculations with the Operators

On a more advanced level, we will discuss about:

Built-in functions
Parametized and Guardes mixins
The @import directive to include external stylesheets in one single document.

In a last chapter, you will apply what you have learned with a hand-on project.

The objectives of this course is to help you

create smarter and cleanerer stylesheets,
cut down on code,
keep your code DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) and organized.

By the end of the course :

you will understand how to use the LESS features and compile the less stylesheets into standard CSS
you will understand how to easily integrate mixins libraries as well as external resources such as Font Awesome and Google Font into your project.
You will also be able to install and use the application SimpLESS to compile your less files into beautiful CSS. (SimpLESS is a GUI application for Less and Sass compilation. It is simple to learn for first-time users and it is compatible with both PC and MAC)

With this video course, learn to take your CSS to the next level and write better styling code. With several demonstrations and examples. you will see the power of the pre-processor language.

Cinema 4D Complete : Vol. 2. All about Modeling!

Mon, 22 Mar 2021 16:24:08 +0100

In this second volume, you will learn everything there is to know about modeling!
Polygon modeling is at the core of every 3D application. Whatever field you are going to work in, you will need to know how to push points, edges and polygons to make your vision come true.

I’m Lionel VICIDOMINI, a Maxon Certified Instructor, Maxon Master Trainer and Motion Designer based in Paris, France. I believe that in order to truly master a software you have to learn it by the details. I have created this series of training, to create a video manual of Cinema 4D and to be the most thorough possible while being entertaining.

In this Cinema 4D online course you will learn all about 3D Modeling

How to select, move, scale and rotate polygons precisely, fluently, and as fast as possible to allow a smoother workflow
All about splines, those vector shapes that are so useful when you want to create complex objects
The generators, such as the mirror, the remesher and the all-powerful Subdivision Surface, at the very core of polygon modeling
The polygon commands, such as the extrude, bevel tool, but also the stich'n'sew and many less known tools
The deformers, which allow you to reshape objets to your needs or even create whole models from simple primitives
OpenVDB modeling, another way to create complex objects parametrically without the hassle of polygons

Several workshops in the end of the course will teach you real life examples and how to model many objects : a screw, a spoon, a coffee cup and its holder, a soccer ball and many others.

This training has been recorded on the R23 but you can follow it easily on previous versions of the software, down to R17.
It is not required to have followed the first volume of the series, but it can greatly help, especially if you are new to 3D.
