In this tutorial, Senior Animator Elaina Scott shares her workflow for creating a full-cg shot for Visual Effects, from previs to final animation. In the initial chapters she discusses shot language, lenses and how to create dynamic poses for superhero animation. She begins by taking an existing animation and sets up a very rough set and some lights, so that she can illustrate how quickly one can create a narrative using camera lenses, movement and lighting. She then starts the superhero portion of the tutorial using rigs by Truong CG Artist with characters made by Dan Eder and Péter Józsa. Elaina teaches how to find great Superhero reference, and how to use that reference to create appealing and dynamic poses for the shot. In the following chapter, she talks about the differences between animating realistic fighting mechanics and super-heroic fight mechanics.

Shading Techniques III primarily focuses on the usage of noises when texturing and shading. The course is full of technical concepts but also offers plenty of practical advice on how to best integrate noises into a professional workflow. We begin by examining the most commonly used terms – followed by the application of that knowledge within the wizard tower scene. Once we’ve had practice replicating what is seen through reference, the course then switches things up by exploring the artistic application of noises.
Rather than focusing on making something specific, the goal is to improvise and adapt to ideas which occur when playing around with noises. The course then ends the shading series by exploring miscellaneous topics and professional advice for further development. By the end – you’ll have everything you need to know to make informed decisions when shading and texturing.

Shading Techniques II is a course that examines how to effectively incorporate a texture-painting workflow. The course begins with examining the pros & cons of a UV/Bitmap workflow and follows these ideas with an examination of the most important UV techniques. From the wizard tower scene, we’ll be practicing with a skull model. Once UVed, we’ll then bring the skull into Substance Painter where I’ll talk about considerations and advice for our texturing decisions. We’ll then bake out maps from Houdini and follow this up with layering our ideas in Substance. The end of the course focuses on file managemen
