Catalog description

Semester course; 1 lecture and 3 studio hours (delivered online, face-to-face or hybrid). 3 credits. Prerequisite: COAR 436 . The course builds on the production fundamentals established in VFX I and expands into dynamic simulation and real-time VFX. Students will create advanced simulations (explosions, fluid and destruction) using Pyro in Cinema4D and Bifrost/Bullet in Maya from 3D IV. The course also dives deeper into the Unreal Engine pipeline for rendering cinematic shots in real time. Students will develop a complete VFX sequence that incorporates simulation, real-time deployment and advanced compositing.
