Course Overview
Learn the fundamentals of VFX by creating a realistic model and composite it into background footage using Nuke
In this intermediate level course, you will be taken through a VFX shot from start to finish by creating a crashed spaceship complete with CGI smoke!
Start by matching the movement of your real camera in the computer using Autodesk Matchmover which is available for FREE.
You will then model your spaceship using the industry standard Maya 2018 and unwrap the objects UVs so you can create textures.
You will then go on to light your shot to match the background using the industry standard Arnold renderer which is included in Maya 2018.
Finally you will output render passes using Arnold AOVs and Maya render setup, and composite them together using the industry standard compositor Nuke to make your final shot.
This course is designed to give you as much information as possible for you to create your own shots using the same workflow.
Take this course today to start creating photorealistic VFX shots!

This was a great course and the result is really satisfying. Learned alot about the whole workflow used in VFX and also alot of things about how to put together a scene. Thanks for this course and I really look forward to more from you.

This is an alright VFX course. one major thing that bothered me is that Matchmover (which is one of the softwares used in this course) cannot be downloaded anymore (he does provide a copy though). The 3D modelling section is not done well, because he does not worry about having clean topology, so if you follow along with his 3D model, you will be working a lot on your own to try and figure out how to fix the topology. Throughout the course, he is very repetitive. However, for most sections, his explanations are understandable and does help, even though they are inefficient. When it came to the final few videos, which is compositing in Nuke, it was very rushed and he did not take time to actually explain different tools that we used or could use like he did in other sections. At that point he was just explaining how to composite your shot if it looked EXACTLY like his, which contradicts him encouraging us to create a different styled spaceship with different colors. If you are someone who needs guidance throughout a course then this course is not for you, because he does not answer questions that are being asked, so like me, you may have to spend a few hours troubleshooting your issues online. Overall, i will only recommend this course for people who: - understands the basics of VFX already. - is on an intermediate level with Maya. - understands 3D modelling well. - is willing to do their own research when troubleshooting.

This was a good class I Learned a lot. However there was multiple times that I got stuck in certain parts and the instructor would never answer and I had to figure it out on my own, which is fine as well but it would have been nice to have the instructor answer questions.
