Stylized VFX Mentorship

With Marcus Bruzzese

 

Mentorship Info

In this Mentorship, the artist will be mentored on how to be successful at creating Stylized VFX for real-time use in games. The Mentee will be pushed in ways they haven’t been before in learning about animating the abstract. We will cover what makes certain VFX successful, and how to add compelling color, shape and story to the Mentee’s effects.

The artist will learn how to maintain efficient workflows for creating a consistent visual feel as well as learn how to optimize their assets for game production. Along the way, we can cover topics such as: hand painting textures for VFX in Photoshop, simple VFX shader creation, mastering timing, and pushing your colors to the next level for flattering and dazzling effects. At the end of the Mentorship, the artist will have learned about the workflows to create high quality, production ready VFX for games. The artist will also learn about how to have a reel that stands out from the rest of the crowd.

Let’s push your VFX creation to places you never thought they would go! The world needs more VFX artists. Let’s make you one of them!
