Peer into the future with weapons more subtle and sinister than anything ever seen before. From powerful lasers to bombs that destroy through electromagnetics, the dynamics of warfare are about to change.

Just how smart are the weapons of tomorrow? We go in search of the latest, cleverest and most terrifying technology - weapons that actually seek out and destroy targets by themselves, nearly unaided by humans.

The mere thought of these future weapons can inflict terror in our everyday lives. Weapons like the Sensor Fuzed Weapon, which can reduce a line of tanks to dust, and the Massive Ordnance Air Burst (MOAB), which can take out two city blocks.

An up-to-date and in-depth look at the weapons used today by the United States Army. From the Advanced Threat Infrared Countermeasures to the XM320 grenade launcher, this comprehensive guide profiles nearly every weapon currently in use by the U.S. Army. In addition, it covers cutting-edge technology that will soon be employed by soldiers around the world. Missiles, small arms, biological detection systems, rockets, reconnaissance systems, radios, planes, bows and arrows (believe it or not)-you name it, this book has it.

Packed with combat action from key conflicts, this DVD traces the fascinating rise of the biggest warships the world has ever known. Find out how US air power evolved from early biplanes landed on converted battleships to sophisticated warplanes on enormous modern supercarriers. Discover everything you need to know about the most powerful and flexible war machines in existence, and why the first question the President is likely to ask in an international crisis is, Where is the nearest carrier?

Time to reenlist! Navy SEALs 2: Weapons of Mass Destruction takes the player back to Iraq, in search of a chemical weapons plant, then deep into North Korea, in search of their nuclear weapons plant, and finally to Pakistan to ferret out an Al Qaeda camp and chase down a top Al Qaeda leader.The player has a choice of weapons when the mission starts, and is sometimes joined by an AI buddy who will help whenever possible. Go and save the world again!

In this course we will use Mudbox and 3ds Max to build and detail a bladed weapon.
While 3ds Max is great at creating models very quickly and efficiently, Mudbox excels at interactively sculpting complex detail. By using these two packages in conjunction, we can leverage their respective strengths to quickly create a cohesive digital asset. After building our base geometry of our sample project, a bladed weapon, and adding UVs in 3ds Max, well take the geometry into Mudbox to begin sculpting. Well add a variety of detail, as well as using Channel painting to create textures for the color and specularity of the models. Well also output normal maps and ambient occlusion maps. Finally, well put everything back together in 3ds Max. Upon completion, you be able to create your own weapons or props using these two powerful programs.
