Course Description
In this tutorial, we'll be covering the entire pipeline of compositing live-action footage into a lunar environment. Keying and compositing will be done inside of Adobe After Effects, while matchmoving will be completed in PFTrack 2011 with the recent, node-based workflow. Texturing will take place in Photoshop, and all 3D processes will be done in Autodesk Maya using mental ray. By the end of this training, you'll have the knowledge to take live-action, green-screen footage and composite it into a realistic 3D environment with a re-animated, matchmoved camera. Software required: After Effects CS6, Maya 2013, PFTrack 2011, Photoshop CS6 .
