This was a 9-week workshop where I learned to develop my Magic FX skills with expert knowledge from FXTD Hunter Williams.
Using his experience, Hunter showed the techniques he has learned to create impressive VFX inside Houdini. I learned how to create energy, smoke, whisps, pulses, and more along the way.
The final week's goal was to bring it all together to create a beautiful scene that rivals that found in your favorite film or TV production. This is the ultimate course for anyone looking to expand their VFX skills.
Here's a cut scene from the previz, a glimpse of what the project could have been. In this scene, a team of soldiers brings back a secret object guarded by a monster. It was meant to be the prequel to the actual scene.
The idea was to include other FX learned during the workshop!
However, the best choice was to cut the scene to keep the project simple and manageable.
Before rendering all the sequences, I took care that all the shots will be rendered correctly. So, I rendered one frame of each shot and comped them.
That way I could also figure out in amount some drawbacks that could happen and have a preview of the final shot before a deeper work on the compositing side.
One of the key challenges in the compositing was matching the lighting and color between the different elements, so that the final image looks cohesive and natural and not too saturated due to the FX.
