In this tutorial we will learn how to take a medieval concept through Maya and ZBrush, and create a nice character render from it.

Providing a glimpse into the future, the young scientists contributing here were considered to be the most important for tomorrow's chemistry and materials science. They present the state of the art in their particular fields of research, with topics ranging from new synthetic pathways and nanotechnology to green chemistry.
Of major interest to organic chemists, materials scientists and biochemists.

When it comes to creating concept art for environments, the process doesn’t have to be a slow methodical one. In fact, when we do something as simple as setting a time limit for ourselves, something truly magical can happen.Not only can we free ourselves of the burden having to create the perfect finished image in one attempt but we can also amass are large number of potential options very quickly. We will also learn that if an idea just isn’t panning out, we can quickly set it aside and move on without wasting time trying to make it work.

The Topos of Music is the upgraded and vastly deepened English extension of the seminal German Geometrie der Töne. It reflects the dramatic progress of mathematical music theory and its operationalization by information technology since the publication of Geometrie der Töne in 1990.

An exciting and burgeoning new field, the study of serious games has grown from a collection of radical ideas to a recognized and unique tool to create an engaging learning environment.

Through a systematic view of technologies, researchers are now finding it less complicated to examine, predict, and explain complex interactions between fields such as engineering and computer science. Emerging Systems Approaches in Information Technologies: Concepts, Theories, and Applications presents innovative research findings utilizing the incorporation of the systems approach into fields such as systems engineering, computer science, and software engineering. Containing philosophical evaluations and issues related to complexity, this publication provides academicians, practitioners, and researchers with the first resource that fully emphasizes the integration of this approach.

Ready or not, IPv6 is here! Learn all about it in this training from Keith Barker.
IPv6 was developed more than a decade ago, but now is being implemented by both service providers and companies alike primarily due to the lack of IPv4 addresses. In this series, Keith walks you step-by-step through the concepts, implementation and verification of IPv6 in a Cisco infrastructure, with various clients attached as hosts including Windows, Linux and Mac. The same logic and knowledge of how IPv6 is implemented can also be applied to other vendors.
