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.

Who this course is for:

• Ideal if you’re interested in using blender for film & television.
• Perfect if you want to learn to mix 3D footage with live footage.
