Compositing Tutorial on CG Channel

December 3rd, 2007 by Fweeb

coverthumb.jpgFor those of you who don’t read the News page on handturkeystudios.com, I’d like to announce that I have a new video tutorial with the HD On-Demand training hosted by cmiVFX. The really cool thing about it this time is that because of a partnership between CG Channel and cmiVFX, this 38-minute tutorial on advanced compositing techniques for render passes in Blender is completely free. You sign on to their service and the tutorial is there for free for you to watch and learn from. The tutorial should be on the cmiVFX site for a long time, but it will remain featured for free on CG Channel for the next 30 days. Very cool stuff.

Now, as with the tutorials on the Blender Fluids DVD, this tutorial assumes that you have a basic understanding of Blender and its interface. This tutorial also highlights features that you will find in the current development version of Blender, slated for the 2.50 release; excellent things like the new Glare node and the new UV unwrap tools. Anyhow, below is a low resolution version of the animation that is produced in this tutorial (for those of you who cannot view Flash video, you can download a mpeg-4 version of the animation).

Enjoy!

    Man, I really like this, esp. since I know how the b.g. was done. I like the residual glow under the railroad and the finale camera shake on impact is also a nice touch. I really like the way you incorp. details, touches into the overall animation, drawing on camera techniques and such to add the “cinematic” reality of a shot. Still want to work together sometime! Say hi to your compatriot, whom we’ve not seen at P-Res in awhile, Beau
