What You'll Learn

Take your skills to the next level with an in-depth course design

Growth solver

We are going to start by creating a growth attribute that will be the main driver of our FX. From this attribute we will be able to generate a growing VDB mesh.

Laser FX

Learn how to create geometry at the SOP level and render it as volumes. This procedural setup will allow for high flexibility when art directing.

Smoke layer

Use the attributes from the growth solver to drive a dynamic smoke simulation. Learn secrets of Pyro FX to achieve a realistic result.

Compositing magic

By separating all of our AOVs we will have complete control over all aspects of the render, such as reflection, specular and GI.
