In this course, we will examine the steps necessary to produce a finished VFX shot from conception to the final composited rendering. Along the way we will examine modeling, texturing, animation, lighting, and rendering using Mental Ray. We will then composite the rendered layers in After Effects, using a 3D composition with a camera exported from Maya. By bringing in the camera from Maya we will be able to integrate photographed elements with our rendered elements to create a final composite. Render layers from our maya scene will include beauty, ambient occlusion, zdepth, light fog, particles, ground fog, and color alpha, among others.
