I believe less is more. Open a door or stand by a window. Learning how to use the light you find makes natural light as simple as it can be.
No matter what, I always believe less is more. My natural light studio set up is all about finding the available light and using it to the best of your ability. Whether you open a door or stand by a window, knowing how to use the light you find makes the concept of using natural light as simple as it can be. In my original Simple Studio workshop, I teach you how to use Studio Lighting to achieve natural looking, soft feathered light. In this class, I will teach you how to mimic my ONE light set up with ONLY natural light. I will walk you through a standard head shot session of mine, using only available light from set up to final edit in this new recorded workshop.

If you’re looking to create production-ready cinematics utilizing the power of the Unreal Engine, this workshop is for you. Bill Buckley guides viewers through the entire process of creating a cinematic using the mighty Sequencer tool in Unreal Engine, beginning with a review of the needs of the project before jumping into establishing the shots required. You’ll discover techniques for blocking out establishing shots at the game level while always keeping cinematic principles in mind. Moving onto the hero shots, Bill introduces a character into the level, where Maya is introduced to the workflow for the purposes of animation. During this process, Bill shares his pipeline that helps to empower animators to freely animate in Maya while updating their scenes in Unreal. The final portion of this workshop compiles all the shots in Unreal and Bill shows how he renders the frames for his edit in Premiere. He demonstrates his tried-and-tested techniques that help artists to maximize their efforts while keeping an organized and efficient workflow.

Learn about the powerful features in Houdini 18.5 and discover how to take advantage of the fast and efficient SOP-level Sparse Pyro tools for production-quality FX. From creating realistic smoke to a believable campfire, Volume 1 of Alasgar Hasanov’s two-volume workshop walks through the production workflows needed to create a variety of simulations. Alasgar is a Senior FX Artist with over 6 years of experience working with Houdini. He provides an in-depth overview of all the new Source nodes and workflows along with a breakdown of the Pyro Solver settings and options you need to know for different types of pyro FX sims. The workshop offers several case studies for artists to follow along. Starting with a small-scale pyro FX project involving some wispy smoke/dry ice FX, artists will learn how to create a lightly smoking source and a dry-ice effect source. For a larger-scale pyro FX case study, Alasgar then demonstrates how to recreate a realistic large-scale smoke simulation along with some efficient methods for matching references. The simulation processes are instructed as well as some interesting ways to render the final results.
In this course we look at the limitations of blindly copying work out of anatomy reference books, and focus on a system to allow us to approach anatomy study in a way that has immediate impact on our work, whether we’re sculpting men, women, animals, or creatures, with reference or without.
Christian will teach you a holistic approach to studying anatomy which you can use no matter what you’re sculpting. He will then demo the techniques by blocking in and sculpting a human arm and torso. On the torso, Christian will show you how to change the basic male physique to muscular, skinny, fat, and female, to demonstrate how the figure changes based on muscle and fat distribution – something that is far too often overlooked when studying anatomy.
