Buy issue 200 of the magazine, and download exclusive training videos for Nuke, Houdini and After Effects.
3D World just released its 200th issue. And to celebrate, the magazine is giving away three exclusive Digital-Tutors visual effects training courses.
Available to anyone buying the issue, the downloads offer over eight hours of video training in After Effects, Houdini and Nuke Studio, plus all of the resources you need to complete them.
3D World 200 comes with three exclusive Digital-Tutors training courses
The first course, Multi-Part Greenscreen Keying in After Effects, explores advanced techniques to resolve issues like shadows, motion blur and colour spill when keying problem footage.
Instructor Evan James explains how to separate the key into parts, creating a core matte, edge mattes, and holdout mattes for problem areas. The training also explores how to create a light wrap, and how to add a magic blast effect to the shot.
Learn to create a rocket swarm in Houdini with Sam Rickles' guide
The training explains how to set up particle simulations in Houdini and use the VBD cloud modelling tools to create rocket trails, before rendering using the built-in Mantra renderer.
The third free tutorial, Your First Day in Nuke Studio, will get you up and running with The Foundry's new VFX, editorial and finishing system.
