Level 01
Getting Started With VFX
Before jumping into practical work, it’s crucial to understand the basics:
- What is VFX, and how does it enhance films and videos?
- Why and where is VFX used in the industry?
- How can you turn VFX skills into a profitable career?
Level 02
Static Shot VFX -fSpy
Your first hands-on experience in VFX! In this level, you will:
- Learn how to integrate 3D objects into a static camera shot (no
movement). - Use fSpy, a powerful tool for matching 3D perspective with
real-world images. - Set up basic lighting and rendering to make your object blend
naturally.
By the end of this level, you’ll be ready to tackle dynamic shots with camera motion!
Level 03
Blender Basics & Your First VFX Shot
This is where the magic starts! In this project, you will:
- Capture your first motion-tracked VFX shot.
- Understand the fundamentals of tracking and how to attach 3D
objects to real footage. - Identify common tracking problems and how to fix them.
After completing this level, you’ll have the confidence to take on more
advanced tracking techniques.
Level 04
Master Motion Tracking
Now, it's time to refine your motion tracking skills with four different shots:
🔹 Two horizontal camera shots – Learn how to track and stabilize movements.
🔹 Two vertical camera shots – Understand the unique challenges of tracking vertical movement.
🔹 Solve real-world tracking problems like lens distortion, occlusions, and shaky footage.
🔹 Learn to properly align 3D objects with tracked motion for seamless integration.
By the end of this level, you'll be proficient in motion tracking and ready for complex VFX projects.
Level 05
Tripod Shot VFX 001 "Donuts Project
Tracking a stationary camera might seem simple, but it comes with unique challenges!
- Learn to track tripod-mounted cameras that are slightly unstable but not fully moving.
- Create a rolling donut animation inside a real-world scene.
- Master compositing techniques to make 3D objects feel naturally part of the environment.
Level 06
VFX Project 002 "Logo Flying Out of Building
Now, let’s take things up a notch with a full VFX shot:
- Animate an object breaking out of a building in a realistic way.
- Create a 1-hour animation sequence with tracking, compositing, and rendering.
- Work with motion blur, lighting, and shadows to enhance realism.
Level 07
VFX Project 003 "Flamingo Cloth Simulation
A fun yet challenging project that will teach you:
- How to make a giant 3D balloon fly between buildings.
- The fundamentals of cloth simulation to make the balloon behave naturally.
- The art of occlusion – making objects correctly pass behind real-world elements.
Level 08
VFX Project 004 "Huge AppleVFX"
This level builds upon the previous one but with a focus on realistic lighting:
- Learn how to choose the right HDRI (High Dynamic Range Image) for your scene.
- Understand how HDRI affects shadows, reflections, and realism.
- Practice scene matching techniques to ensure your VFX integrates seamlessly.
Level 09
VFX Project 005 "Banner& Coffee
A real-world commercial VFX project where you'll:
- Create a rolling banner animation inside a tracked shot.
- Work with soft-body simulations for realistic motion.
- Further refine motion tracking and compositing skills.
