This book engages expansively with the concept of motherhood in academia, to offer insights into re-imagining a more responsive higher education. Written collaboratively as international, interdisciplinary and intergenerational collectives, the editors and contributors use various ways of understanding ‘motherhood’ to draw attention to – and disrupt – the masculine structures currently defining women’s lives and work in the academy. Shifting the focus from patriarchal understandings of academe, the narratives embrace and champion feminist and feminine scholarship. The book invites the reader to question what can be conceived when motherhood is imagined more expansively, through lenses traditionally silenced or made invisible. This pioneering volume will be of interest and value to feminist scholars, as well as those interested in disrupting patriarchal academic structures.

Jose Vega | Duration: 5:53 h | Video: HVC1 1920×1080 | Audio: AAC 48 kHz 2ch | 4,94 GB | Language: English
Learn the process for creating a 3D kit from start to finish. Discover all the insights and techniques to help you take full advantage of 3D kit creation and be inspired to produce epic images, from generating initial ideas, gathering references, and handling prep work to finalizing concept art in Photoshop. Everything will be covered to help you create your own 3D kit assets, including modeling and texturing assets, from single assets to more complex pieces, assembling new assets, and building out a scene. You’ll then explore how to use the created assets to build final illustrations.
The workflow instructed offers a comprehensive approach to asset creation and scene development, beginning with hand painting, bashing plants, and using Blender texture nodes to generate individual assets. Those assets are then developed into a versatile kit, employing Blender techniques, including mirroring and deformers, to progress from simpler to more intricate components.
Upon establishing a substantial asset library, the focus shifts to conceptualizing building assets. This involves leveraging straightforward Photoshop painting techniques to refine the final concept. The subsequent phase involves constructing a complete scene using the compiled kit. Additional techniques include simple modeling and sculpting in ZBrush as well as the use of VR with Gravity Sketch, transitioning to assembling the scene in Blender with the developed kit.

Learn how to create game-ready foliage assets from scratch using hand-crafted models and textures. This workshop by Senior Environment Artist Colin Valek will give you a comprehensive guide to using SpeedTree to create trees and groundcover vegetation that can be used to build lush and beautiful game environments.
This workshop is intended for intermediate-level artists with some prior knowledge of working with SpeedTree, Maya, ZBrush, Substance Designer, and Unreal Engine. Learn professional tips about the art direction of foliage assets, as well as technical considerations for using foliage in games. Also, you will go over the importance of quickly blocking placeholder assets before committing to detail work.
The chapters work through the process of sculpting and texturing highly detailed plant models using ZBrush and Maya. These plant models are then baked down onto texture atlases using Substance Designer and finally assembled into foliage assets within SpeedTree. Lastly, you’ll be given some tips on integrating and populating foliage in Unreal Engine 5.
