Learn to take a VFX project from start to end as a solo artist for your own films

This is an Intermediate Course since I cover multiple software to achieve the desired result. Therefore before purchasing make sure you have a basic understanding of how Nuke, Maya, Substance painter works.

Project Files are included if you want to follow along. Also all my nuke scripts too if you want to dig into the nodes ity bity!!

While i show you the techniques of finishing a shot all the way from 2d to 3d, I hope after watching this training you will be more confident on approaching a shot. Main goal is to be the Swiss army knife of VFX, specially for Indie film makers on a tight budget.
