NEW MATERIAL AND TUTORIALS!

Glass & Optics    NEW!

• Tricks for Fast Radiosity Effects
• Tricks for Fast Refraction Effects
• Tips on Creating Realistic Glass Objects

Anatomy of a Lighting Setup    NEW!

A step by step examination of a complex real-world lighting environment. The subject is an office cubicle with various artificial light sources including computer monitor light, desk lights, task lighting, overhead fluorescence tubes, and streaming window lights.

Artificial Dynamics    NEW!

While EI may not have robust dynamics built in, that is no reason to not create them in other ways! A bit of observations and attention to details and you can have wholly convincing effects.

This tutorial and example files show how to generate a sophisticated car accident, including the event, the post event, and the resulting car damage.

The New Electricimage Compositor    NEW!

Learn to use EI’s built in composting tools. Yes they do exist, and they are powerful tools that are great for those without other compositing tools. And for a wider range of use to every EI user than one might think. Use these built in tools to composite 2d and 3d in ways even high-end compositing tools only dream of.

A fast and easy reference for all modelers!

EI | Character Animation MediaBook

Finally, the education product you have been waiting for. Learn high end techniques for character animation and modeling, applied to your favorite animation package, Electric Image Universe. Character modeling, rigging and animation are covered in detail.

1200 FACT Model Collection

Over 1,200 models have been converted into Fact 3d format. Many have had a lot of extra work put into them such as: sizing, the application of texture/UV Maps, the addition of object color and surface attributes, and the creation of basic hierarchies. Quite a few models had great restoration efforts put into them if they seemed worthy--and many models were very worthy.

HeadGames EI

HeadGames will custom tailor automated lip-synch and rotation control data for import to Electricimage, Lightwave, or Maya using the Morph or Blend interfaces. In plain English this means fully automated control of the model's head, making your character animation move much faster.

EI Tutorial Repository

Approximately 600MB of tutorials written for EI over the years, many of these are directly translatable to the newest versions of EI.
