Course Details
• Advanced Lighting Techniques > Exploration of global illumination, image-based lighting, and physical-based rendering to create realistic and visually appealing virtual sets.
• Realistic Materials > Utilization of Substance Designer and Painter for creating PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, textures, and patterns.
• Camera Mapping > Utilizing camera projection techniques to map 2D textures onto 3D objects, enabling the creation of detailed and accurate virtual set elements.
• Dynamic Environments > Implementing natural phenomena such as weather, day/night cycles, and atmospheric effects to enhance the realism of virtual sets.
• Volumetric Rendering > Mastering techniques like fog, smoke, and clouds to add depth and atmosphere to virtual environments.
• Rendering Engines > Comparison and selection of popular rendering engines (e.g. Arnold, V-Ray, Redshift, and Octane) for optimal virtual set design.
• Scripting for Automation > Leveraging Python or similar scripting languages for automating repetitive tasks, streamlining workflows, and integrating with 3D modeling and rendering software.
• Look Development > Crafting the overall appearance, visual style, and mood of virtual sets through careful refinement of lighting, materials, and textures.
• Large Scale Environment Design > Planning, creating, and managing expansive virtual environments using modular set design, instancing, and scene management strategies.
• Render Optimization > Strategies for maximizing rendering performance, including managing render settings, reducing noise, and utilizing GPU acceleration.
