[Admin]

Effects specialist and Autodesk Master Allan McKay has created a brand new training DVD for users interested in coming up to speed with the powerful Autodesk Certified Animation plug-in FumeFX.

This DVD demystifies the various controls for making believable FumeFX simulations. You'll be amazed at what the FumeFX engine is capable of, creating everything from animated burning paper and huge fiery explosions to bubbling caudrons and dirt/dust effects.

This 3.5 hour training course is perfect for new users who want to get up speed quickly with the sophisticated FumeFX plug-in, as well as for intermediate users who want to tweak their effects for astonishing results. Sample files are included so you can dissect or modify them later to achieve an even deeper understanding of this plug-in technology.

FumeFX: Advanced - the Ultimate Solution for FumeFX Training

Just released, the new and highly anticipated FumeFX: Advanced training focuses on many of the advanced subjects for fluid simulations: creating photo-realistic fire and smoke and massive explosions that rival most real explosions and stock footage. This 2 DVD set prepares both intermediate and professionals alike for tackling the most difficult of visual effects shots with confidence and a solid knowledge and understanding of fluids, particles, shaders and compositing; allowing them to conquer the most ambitious FX shots while approaching the task with production proven techniques.

This pair of incredible DVDs cover industry techniques and walk the viewer through many practical examples of real life visual effects shots; from the initial pre-production and planning through building of MaxScripts to automate tasks, dealing with containers and FumeFX settings all the way through rendering and finally compositing of the final effects elements into your shots.

With high resolution and crystal clear sound, and over 24 hours of video this 2 disc DVD set is the ultimate training solution for both film and game studios alike! And while this set of discs are aimed at advanced users, the tutorials still cover topics thoroughly and explains methods clearly enough that most people should still be able to follow at any level. That said, having a solid understanding of FX is recommended to get the most out of this set.
