This course will teach you the fundamental concepts and key characteristics of Git and how to set up your local environment, track and manage content locally, and how to work in a shared remote repository with other team members.
In this course, you will take a look at a great approach to creating concept art for entertainment productions and that is combining the power of 3d and 2d to have the best of both worlds and to prepare ourselves for the professional world.
Are you looking for a great approach to designing your concept art for entertainment productions?
In this course, Game Environment Concept Art Fundamentals, you will gain an understanding of how to create a fantasy environment concept art using a 3d block-out:
Timo Hilger is a Concept Artist from Germany who has worked on productions like Risen 3 and Elex and also as Art Director in Games and Movies. Aside to being an experienced Artist he is also a passionate educator in universities and giving workshops in the german speaking countries.
For anyone else out there who missed this, Pluralisight are making all 7,000+ expert-led video courses and more free for the month of April. If you ever wanted to try out some of their videos then this is the time to do it!
Game development is a challenging and rewarding experience, so to make it easier, we have created Swords and Shovels to prepare you for the journey ahead. Unity has so much to offer game developers today, all you have to do is harness that power. This Unity Authorized skill path will teach you the essential tools and skills used to create fantastic games in Unity.
Mental ray isn't just another rendering option that comes included with every Maya installation. In fact, it is a powerful rendering solution that can create highly realistic renders due to the fact that, on many levels, it operates the same way things do in the real world.
This course will walk you through every step of creating a drone spaceship, from the ground up. You'll cover the fundamentals of navigating and modeling in Blender, along with texturing, rigging, animating, lighting, and rendering.
This learning path will help drafters and CAD operators confidently get up and running in AutoCAD. It will also help more advanced CAD operators improve their skillset. Through these tutorials, you'll learn how to use the various 2D drafting 3D modeling tools available in AutoCAD. Whether you're working a project for school, a professional design studio, small business or just need to get your ideas documented and visualized, these tutorials will take your skills to the next level.
Mezzio is the fourth iteration of what was originally known as Zend Framework.I say fourth iteration, because Zend Framework had two initial versions, after which it was rebranded as Zend Expressive.So Mezzio, effectively, is the fourth iteration of the framework.
It starts off by getting your development environment ready; on Linux, macOS, and Windows.It then gets in to some of the essential concepts and theory, such as what is PSR-7, PSR-15, and Middleware; some of the key concepts which the framework is built upon.
After that, you learn how to build an application by hand, without any tooling or automation support.The intent here is so that you learn about all of the moving parts that are required to have a working application.Then, you learn how to use the Skeleton Installer project to rapidly bootstrap the application which was just built by hand.
So, after much discussion, the decision was made to re-home the framework at The Linux Foundation.Because of that, it needed to be rebranded.After some discussion, Zend Expressive was rebranded as Mezzio, and the Zend Framework libraries (which Zend Expressive is built upon) were rebranded as Laminas; e.g., zend-mvc was renamed laminas-mvc, and zend-servicemanager was renamed as laminas-servicemanager, etc.You can read the full story of what happened on the Laminas Blog.
So, for all of these reasons, my ASM and I decided to create a new course, which is effectively a refresh of the existing course.We discussed it in some really funny and silly sessions, often late into the evening here (Berlin time), to flesh out what the course structure would be, what my key aims for course attendees were, etc.
I often have great respect for organisations where I have to sign contracts.This is because contracts clearly spell out what the responsibilities of both sides are, but most importantly for me, what I have to live up to, when I have to have the work completed.Based on that, I can clearly track my progress, through to completion.
You can see that the root folder is named after the course, and under there is another directory, named module-1.Under module-1, there are five directories (audio, exported, images, slides, and videos) and a file, script.adoc.Each of these five directories is named after the content which it will contain.
With that done, I then script an introduction video to be the first video in the module, and a conclusion to be the last video in the module.At a module level, this helps set and manage expectations of what will be taught.
I tried to batch each component in the process, but found that my productivity dropped like a stone as I had to keep remembering where I was up to in each respective video, each time I came back to work on it.The mental context switch took forever and left me really drained and deflated.
I think this was from some form of corruption or misconfiguration in my original Linux Mint installation.After buying a new graphics card, the Geforce GT 1030 and installing Ubuntu 20.04, everything changed!All of a sudden, the quality of the recordings shot up, and the effort dropped right off.
Up until now, all of the work that has gone in to creating the course is reasonably straightforward.Sure, it takes time and effort to plan, write, record audio, live demos, and slide decks, but editing or fixing mistakes is relatively straight-forward.
So it can be a challenging time trying to figure out if you need to add a transition between two points in a demo, cut out some of the demo, add more audio, cut some of the demo, etc, so that the two fit professionally together.
Actually, if there is too much going on, I believe that you can negatively impact information absorption, as the user likely becomes distracted by too much change occurring.Conversely, if the time between something changing on screen takes too long, then I run the risk of the user tuning out.
Pluralsight has a clear set of audio and video requirements that your videos have to comply with.Similar to Audacity, I have a preset in Screenflow setup for that, which saves a stack of time and potential human error.
But I already had ways to create ASP.NET focused Dockerfiles and docker-compose files. The Visual Studio Code Docker extension allows you to add those to existing projects. Visual Studio can infer Dockerfile when you are creating a new project using a template or add that and compose after the fact.
Curious as to how these all differ, I explored the variations and will share those with you here. I will first do so with an ASP.NET Web API generated from a template and then open up an existing multi-project API that interacts with a database and see if that has any impact on the generated files.
JetBrains Rider also has Docker support but I did not include that in my already lengthy investigation. You can learn more about that support in their docs: _tools_for_net_projects.html#docker_support.
docker init adds a Readme markdown file that provides some intro level guidance on running the app in the container, deploying the container, publishing the container and provides links to additional resources. Super helpful information.
Like the readme file, the Dockerfile created by docker init is filled with instructional comments describing what each line of code is for. It also provides hints of common changes you might want to make and why and links to more information. Removing the comments, here is the actual code in the file.
I remember being overwhelmed years ago the first time I saw what this extension created. But the ASPNET docs provide a detailed explanation, which I had to read through numerous times, and so my learning journey began.
In the long run, the Visual Studio Code and VS generated Dockerfiles are clearer to read but achieve the same result as the docker init version which is minimal image that contains the app and is not bloated with the SDK. docker init does it in fewer passes. On my system, any differences between the resources used and time taken were not noticeable although I did not perform any serious benchmarking.
This is a bit more explicit than what docker init created. It specifies the version and names the container using the name of the project and image. Also, rather than specifying it should build form a particular image, it says to leverage the contents of the Dockerfile to learn what it needs. Finally, it exposes both ports on 5063 as per the Dockerfile specification.
Notice that there is no explicit debug compose file. Instead, the wizard created an additional configuration in launchsetting.json for running or debugging via Docker Compose and that is one of the options for running with or without debugging, i.e. CTRL-F5 or just F5.
I have definitely sated my curiosity and feel that each of these options are equally sufficient for whichever development environment you are working in. That is, in my opinion, the key factor. Are you working at the command line or one of the IDEs? They will each give you a good, working head start.
docker init is going to be much more useful for people who just dive in to Docker with little advance knowledge because there is so much guidance embedded in the comments. The support for Visual Studio and VS Code also provide enough to get your app running but will require some help from Copilot or Dr. Google to satisfy more complex solutions and needs.
