FumeFX Essentials
Effects specialist and Autodesk Master Allan McKay has created a brand new training DVD for users interested in coming up to speed with the powerful Autodesk Certified Animation plug-in FumeFX.
This DVD demystifies the various controls for making believable FumeFX simulations. You'll be amazed at what the FumeFX engine is capable of, creating everything from animated burning paper and huge fiery explosions to bubbling caudrons and dirt/dust effects.
FumeFX: Advanced - the Ultimate Solution for FumeFX Training
Just released, the new and highly anticipated FumeFX: Advanced training focuses on many of the advanced subjects for fluid simulations: creating photo-realistic fire and smoke and massive explosions that rival most real explosions and stock footage. This 2 DVD set prepares both intermediate and professionals alike for tackling the most difficult of visual effects shots with confidence and a solid knowledge and understanding of fluids, particles, shaders and compositing; allowing them to conquer the most ambitious FX shots while approaching the task with production proven techniques.
This pair of incredible DVDs cover industry techniques and walk the viewer through many practical examples of real life visual effects shots; from the initial pre-production and planning through building of MaxScripts to automate tasks, dealing with containers and FumeFX settings all the way through rendering and finally compositing of the final effects elements into your shots.
Advanced Visual Effects
If you’re looking for training beyond the basics, then the Advanced Visual Effects DVD is for you. This DVD volume (part of the new Turbo Training collection) contains over 14 hours of material from special effects creator and Particle Flow master Allan McKay.
Aimed at intermediate and advanced users, the Advanced Visual Effects DVD showcases much of Allan’s talent and techniques for producing incredible animation using 3ds Max and the Particle Flow particle system. Starting with simple examples, Allan works up to more complex effects including generating procedural tornados and volcanoes, as well as a drip system that must be seen to be believed. He also covers topics including the use of procedural materials, reactor 2 physics basics.
Advanced Visual Effects 2
Visual Effects guru and particle effects master Allan McKay is back with another round of stellar particle effects as part of his latest training kit: Turbo Training: Advanced Visual Effects 2.
This time out, Allan has created seven new project-based tutorials that push the built-in Particle Flow particle system to the limit and beyond. With a running length of over 6 hours, this training DVD is aimed at intermediate and advanced users. Allan starts off with easier effects like creating a DNA strand out of particles, then ramps up to more complex natural effects including procedural lava and particle fire, as well as building a crumbling iceberg, splashing barrels and exploding tanks.
To achieve several of these effects, Allan spends time showcasing two Autodesk Certified Animation Plug-ins: AfterBurn 3 and Particle Flow Tools: Box 1 and discusses how they can extend what the core PFlow particle system can do.
Advanced Visual Effects 3
The much anticipated Advanced Visual Effects series returns with Volume 3, focused on many of 3D Studio Max's advanced solutions for visual effects for use in both Hollywood feature films and game cinematics
Taking advantage of many of the latest technologies and utilized to create ground breaking new approaches to visual effects, Allan McKay takes us through over 11 hours of training content on subjects such Fume FX, Krakatoa, Rayfire, Compositing, Advanced FX Rigging, Simulating water, Fracturing, Fire, Maxscripting to build sophisticated production tools and many new dynamics set ups such as used with Pflow Tools Box 2.
Advanced VFX Vol 3 - We go through how to build many ground breaking effects to popular topics like Tornado's, Magic, Explosions, Character Effects etc. afterward advancing into the area of building these effects into a more automated pipeline so that we are able to have them dynamically change and adapt to the set ups we give them, allowing our effects to adapt intelligently to what we need. We also write several tools used in actual film production to automate a lot of the painstaking tasks we're required to do, and then take them a step further to create our film effects for us.
