Adrian Vallecilla’s 5-hour workshop details a complete workflow for integrating hero assets into backplates with photorealistic results. Using a classic technique in visual effects production, Adrien reveals how to transform a 3D scan of a train into a production-ready asset using Maya, discussing the important hard-surface modeling theories while demonstrating the process. The texturing portion includes how to clean up textures from the 3D scan

Houdini is an industry leader in visual effects, putting power into the hands of FX artists working in production for films, TV, and games. As one of the most-used effects tools in the industry, artists can often find Houdini a daunting tool to get to grips with. Here, Alessandro Cangelosi unravels the learning curve to introduce a simple way to approach particle FX using Houdini. There are many approaches to creating impressive particle FX

This six-hour workshop by Alessandro Cangelosi details his tips and techniques used to create large-scale natural environments, such as those used in visual effects. The workflow shows how Clarisse V4, as well as Houdini and Terragen, can be used to create impressive CG environments with realistic skies, atmospheric effects, and procedural assets. While there are many workflows available to environment artists, Alessandro explains why his tools

In this course we'll be tackling how to set up a stylized, organic and slightly creepy skin growth effect that sits somewhere between VFX and Motion Graphics. While creating this highly specific effect the viewer will be able to pick up a bunch of useful tips and tricks that can be implemented into their work. We will set up the effect from scratch using several simulations that work in unison. We start out with a custom grain simulation that

Hipflask – Fraser Shiers Houdini Geometry Essentials (RUS) Houdini's unique approach to geometry is at the heart of everything you will end up doing - VFX, conventional and procedural modeling, UV mapping, scene layouts - it all starts here. In this course, we'll begin to break down the basics that will be the foundation for everything that lies ahead. You'll master the following topics in depth: The geometric components of Houdini - points,
