Step into a real production workflow where live-action meets high-end FX.
In this course, you’ll integrate an animated dinosaur into tracked bridge footage and create dust, the dinosaur’s breath, and atmospheric effects – focusing entirely on realism, subtlety, and physical accuracy.
You’ll learn how studios build clean, efficient FX setups, why each element behaves the way it does, and how to composite everything seamlessly in Nuke.
Designed for FX artists and 3D generalists, this training takes place inside an active VFX studio, with personalized guidance and production-proven techniques that normally take years to learn.
