Blender For Vfx - Learn To Add Realistic Cgi Into Footage

What you'll learn
Matchmove the real camera motion using Blender
Match the lighting in a background video
Model a spaceship
UV unwrap a spaceship
Create complex shading networks for realistic shading
Paint textures in Blender
Use the sculpting features in Blender
Requirements
Blender 2.79
Basic knowledge of Blender such as viewport navigation and interface
Description
In this course you will create a model of a crashed spaceship and integrate it into background video footage all using Blender!
Blender is an amazing and powerful piece of software which is FREE. You can use it to create commercial work and for your own freelance work.
You will start by using Blenders built in camera tracker to match the movement of the real camera. You will then use Blender to create the model and UV unwrap it so you can paint textures on the spaceship. Using Blenders excellent built in renderer called Cycles, you will create realistic lighting and shaders. Finally you will apply the final look using Blenders built in compositor!
This course is for anyone who wants to learn about creating realistic images in Blender. Its also great for 3d artists who want to know more about Blender and what it can do.
