Blender Visual Effects – Real World Meets CG

In this course we bring together computer graphics (CG) with real world video footage to make a final scene just like in a blockbuster movie. By the end of the course you’ll have created your own short scene, such as a CG orc running down a city path.

You’ll learn all about preparing assets, improving textures, lighting, compositing, camera positioning, keying, camera shake and a bunch more techniques used in professional Visual Effects studios.

Use Blender to merge computer graphics with real–world footage (just like in the movies).

Learn the fundamentals of compositing in order to make all of the elements (real and CG) look like they seamlessly belong together.

Block out your scene and set up cameras to tell the story you want to tell.

Refine textures and improve lighting to give the look you want.

Add polish such as depth of field, screen shake and color correction to make your scene look professional quality.

This course is for students who already have a basic familiarity with Blender.

With our online tutorials, you’ll be amazed what you can achieve right from the first moment you start the course. Benefit from our world–class support from both other students, and the GameDev tv team who are regularly engaged in the forums and Q&A section.
