  What is this class about ? Have you ever wanted to animate in After Effects but got too intimidated to try? Yeah, me too or used to be. After effects has a lot of menus and buttons and it's easy to get lost. Over the years, I got comfortable with using After Effects and with experience my knowledge on animation got deeper. With this class I want to share the things I've learned about motion graphics in a way that's easy to understand. Something that my past self would appreciate.

  In this class you'll learn: The Common Light Types: We’ll explore the 5 main light types in Blender, while also learning about their key parameters and how they affect our final image. Lighting Terminology: During our 5 unique exercises, we’ll discuss common lighting terms such as main, fill and rim lighting. Critical Thinking and Analysis: We’ll analyze all 5 reference images to get an understanding of how each lighting scheme was created. This includes aspects like what type of light was used, where the light is in the scene, what color is the light and more. Reference Recreation: We’ll take all that we’ve learned throughout our analysis to recreate the reference photo lighting as closely as possible using a premade started file provided in the project resources. You'll create: 5 distinct lighting schemes based on unique reference photos.

  This course will walk you through a more realistic way of rigging your vehicle using Blender's Physics engine. By using Rigid Bodies and Rigid Body Constraints, you can literally drive your vehicle through your scene. This method lets the physics engine calculate all the vehicle's motion like, camber angles, wheel speeds, body roll, brake dive etc, making your vehicle's motion much more realistic! The techniques used in this course are aimed at making the finicky nature of using Rigid Bodies more manageable and efficient. While some knowledge of Blender is helpful, this course starts from beginner friendly introductions to Rigid Bodies and Constraints. Blender 3.0+ is recommended, no addons required. Only very light modeling is used, course includes all the models used. Completed .blend files included for all applicable lectures. All vehicles are based on 3d Scanned real vehicles. This course goes over: -      Rigid Bodies and Constraints -      The ...

Before you freak out, the system allows you to switch between Maya and Blender controls on the fly, making it easy enough get through other 3d modeling tutorials (if they call out native Blender controls). With the click of a button, you can have Blender or Maya controls. The beauty of the system is that it will allow you to get a feel for the Blender software extremely quickly if you are a Maya user. This means you can switch back and forth seamlessly if you currently use Maya professionally or simply aren't ready to commit fully to Blender.
