آموزش CGCookie - Compositing a 3D Monster into a Live Action Scene

 

In this course I will show you some of the major stages of a Visual Effects (VFX) pipeline by doing a fun little project: Compositing a 3D monster into some life action footage. The scope of this course is speficficaly teaching you the VFX skills so we wonandrsquo;t be focusing on modeling and animation much. We are going to grab a pre-modeled and pre-rigged character from Blendswap, made by Theory Animation: George. First I will cover some housekeeping to get familiar with the file structure as well as some small tasks like fixing a few bone-weights and modifying the shaders of our monster. Since we are not going to cover the whole animation process, I will use a pre made run-cycle. However, this cycle needs some minor cleanup so Iandrsquo;ll go over that real quick. If you are interested in creating a run-cycle yourself. Itandrsquo;s perfectly fine to follow the course with your own run-cyle. A great resource to make George run is the tutorial by his creators at TheoryAnimation!
