Mike Pan – “Fluids, Smoke and Particles: From Simulation to VFX”
The workshop will focus on the special effects features of Blender 2.5. We will explore in detail the fluid simulation, smoke simulation, and particle systems of Blender and learn hands-on how they can be applied to visual effects productions. Material setups for small scale fluid, large scale fluid, smoke and various particle effect will also be covered. The workshop will show the basic workflow for setting up such an effect, as well as explain the various settings that influence the simulation. Apart from step-by-step tutorials, some pre-made example files will also be shown to illustrate how the various vfx systems in Blender are used in a real production.
Mercoledi’ 27/10 – 14.15 – 18.30 – Sala Sella
