为了完成最终的高质量VFX镜头,本教程中,将使用到Pixar’s RenderMan,、Autodesk Maya、Side FX Houdini和The Foundry Nuke X等软件。本课程由fxphd专门制作,将详细展示一个战车爆炸的场景,场景灵感来源于电影《疯狂的麦克斯:狂暴之路》。本课程会使用在HOU215课程中制作完成的Houdini PyroFX模拟场景,将这个场景转换为高质量的VFX镜头,并且着重强调照片的真实照明与合成。
本教程将为我们演示如何使用最新、最高端的电影后期制作软件,完成非常详细、复杂的VFX镜头制作。这一工作流程需要使用到Pixar’s RIS交互式照明技术、Pyro FX in Mantra照明和Nuke的深度合成与立体工作流程。需要使用的软件包括像Side FX Houdini和Autodesk Maya这样的FX模拟和3D动画的高端软件。课程提供了所有的3D场景文件、3D渲染层、资料素材和深度渲染文件,以帮助学生完成课程的学习。
本课程由Liam Whitehouse讲授,他毕业于格里菲斯大学,获得工业设计学位,Liam Whitehouse自2003年以来一直在3D和视觉特效行业工作。Liam Whitehouse最近在Industrial Light and Magic担任技术总监,在这里他完成了变形金刚3的制作。Liam现在在格里菲斯大学电影学院教授视觉特效。
FXPHD VFX302 Tornado Destruction Project Part 2
This is the second in our advanced series of courses which complete a complex visual effects scene, starting from the effects plate all the way to the tweaks of the final comp. Based upon a suggestion from an fxphd member, the course will start with the clean plate, add a remote mountain town, and then build a CG Tornado to destroy it. Numerous applications will be used throughout the course, including 3D Equalizer, Maya, Houdini, Arnold Renderer, and NUKE.
The lineup of artists teaching this course is stellar. Serving as vfx supervisor and matte painting for the course is artist Ludovic Iochem, who leads our digital matte painting curriculum. Joining him are Charles Chorein (imdb), who will be handling look development plus lighting and Olivier Ryard (imdb) will be creating the FX of the Tornado in Houdini.
