Compositing 3 is all about deepening your skills with node-based compositing in Fusion and broadening your knowledge of the full VFX process.

The main focus this semester is CGI integration into live-action footage using multi-pass AOV compositing. To do that you will have to film your own footage and go through the whole process of processing & manipulating footage, rendering & integrating CGI assets in

To attain photorealistic results, we need to make a deep dive into the full digital image pipeline to understand color management & color spaces so you can apply them correctly as an artist in the production of high quality VFX shots

Topics include:

- CGI rendering techniques

- Multi-pass AOV compositing

- Camera tracking & shot layout

- Photorealism & camera effects

- Color management & digital image pipeline

- Shot production & set data acquisition

Software used: Adobe Creative Cloud, DaVinci Resolve, Autodesk Maya, Pixel Farm PFTrack
