This publication, Composite Materials: Testing, Design, and Acceptance Criteria, contains papers presented at the symposium of the same name held in Phoenix, Arizona, on 26-27 March, 2001. The symposium was sponsored by ASTM International Committee D30 on Composite Materials.

In this tutorial we’ll learn how to take a basic render scene and add textures, render it and composite it into a finished shot. We'll be covering all the steps needed to take a plain render and make it better. We’ll begin this project by creating a procedural dirt shader for our ground cover. Then we'll hop into Photoshop to create a photographic texture for our road. We'll then add some detail using more procedural textures to break up the edges of the road and create a broken concrete feel. From there we will set up a particle system for our tires and create render layers and passes. Finally we will composite our shot using the Maya Precomp feature and Maya Composite. We'll learn how to color correct our passes, add various blurs and composite everything together into an integrated shot.

In this series of lessons we'll learn how to get started using Autodesk Composite, which was previously called Autodesk Toxik. Using Composite we can quickly color correct, mask, composite and animate still images and image sequences.

This comprehensive new ASTM publication reflects the latest worldwide research in composite structures technology, and specifically focuses on structural certification and qualification concerns. 29 peer-reviewed papers, written by academia, government, and industry experts, are divided into the following sections: • Structural Damage Tolerance • Skin-Stringer Behavior • Rotorcraft and Propeller Structural Qualification Issues • Bolted Joint Analysis • Test Methods • Strength Prediction

In this series of lessons we'll learn how to get started using Autodesk Composite, which was previously called Autodesk Toxik. Using Composite we can quickly color correct, mask, composite and animate still images and image sequences.
We'll begin this project by learning the basic composition creation process, learning how to move around the Composite user interface, begin compositing images together and render out our finished material. We'll then move into the common uses of Composite such as Color Correction, Masking, 3D compositing and Animation. This series of lessons is a great starting point to learning Composite. By learning the tools and fundamental workflows of Composite, we will be able to create complex effects and images in no time. This will allow us to begin exploring other areas of Composite and start using Composite in our own production pipeline.
