cmiVFX Releases New Autodesk Softimage ICE Deformers Training Video
High Definition Training Videos for the Visual Effects Industry

Princeton, NJ (January 31st 2012) – cmiVFX AGAIN? Really? You'd all better believe it. We have more hits than a New York City taxi cab's front bumper. Fresh off the assembly line ("production pipeline" for those of you who are sticklers to terminology) there is a new Autodesk Softimage training video that everyone will be talking about tomorrow around the water cooler… Autodesk Softimage ICE Deformers, the video. Sure, try to say that five times really fast! As always, you can go grab a look at the demo video found right on the product page link listed below.

Creating Deformers in ICE
ICE (Interactive Creative Environment) is a nodal environment inside Autodesk Softimage that can do a range of different things. You can use it to create custom deformers, animate particles, rig characters, simulate fluids, and even generate crowds. It doesn’t matter what you want to do with ICE, there is a set of concepts and nodes that you need to know and understand in order to get going with the tool. Concepts like data types and data context, order of evaluation, vectors, matrices, arrays, locations and so on...

In this training we are going to build 3 custom deformers. We will start with the easy ones and learn the most basic concepts in ICE. As we move on to more complex deformations, the understanding of more complex concepts will feel natural to you, since you already have your feet wet.

You will find out that with less effort then you thought you can create and deploy custom deformers that extend the capability of what you can do in both modeling and animation. Not only that but the concepts learned here are most valuable for anything else you want to do inside ICE.
