About the course

Particle Simulation

Weā€™re going to look into different ways to create particle sources and how to advect particles with velocity fields. We are going to create velocity fields with Volume VOPS & Pyro simulations.

We will use different methods to art direct particles and how to optimize the setup at every step, so our simulations run smooth and fast!

Rendering & Compositing

We are going to render everything using Redshift, and then use Nuke to composite all of the layers to get the final look. So I hope you will enjoy this course, and letā€™s get started.
