• Master the art of high-end matchmoving with SynthEyes Essentials 2025, a comprehensive training series from Boris FX designed to bridge the gap between technical tracking and creative visual effects integration. Led by industry veteran and Boris FX product specialist Christoph Zapletal, this course offers a structured, concept-driven path to mastering one of the world’s fastest and most powerful 3D tracking engines. Whether you are a compositor looking to expand your toolkit or a dedicated matchmove artist aiming for precision, these tutorials provide the professional foundation required for modern VFX pipelines.

• Wave The Path is a revolutionary GPU-accelerated plugin for Adobe After Effects that fundamentally changes how motion designers approach path-based animation. Traditionally, creating complex, organic wave motions along a custom path required tedious manual keyframing or complex expression rigs that often bogged down project performance. Wave The Path eliminates these barriers, allowing you to transform any mask or shape layer path into a dynamic, flowing waveform with just a few clicks.

• In this workshop, Sohrab Esfehani, Senior VFX Artist at Important Looking Pirates, walks artists through the full process of texturing and look development for a photorealistic, film-quality fantasy creature. With over 20 years of experience working on films including The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy, Sohrab shares his professional techniques using industry-standard software, Mari, ZBrush, Nuke, and Houdini, to create blockbuster-worthy results.  This 6-hour workshop begins with reference gathering before launching Houdini, where the scene is initially structured and basic shaders are applied. From there, Sohrab details the skin texturing workflow using Mari, from the initial setup through various stages of adding color, including how to use ZBrush for creating surface details. He also dives into the process of setting up realistic skin shaders in Arnold, within Houdini, and details how to approach complex fur patterns and designs using advanced layered, probability-based shading techniques.

• In render engines, the lights are usually too perfect, a uniform solid color for the entire surface of our light. However, when it comes to lighting products or elements in the foreground, we sometimes need to add nuance and texture to our lighting.  This Pack includes 42 Studio Lights in HDR format so you can use them as a texture in your lights adding nuances and complexity in the lighting and reflections of your renderings.

• Learn how to transition from a 2D to a 3D artist with this step-by-step tutorial. In this 5.5-hour workshop, Visual Development Artist Tony Ianiro shares his process for designing environments for Film, VR, and Video Games over twenty years.  The workshop begins with gathering reference images and using them to create an environment concept thumbnail through photo-bashing. Tony then guides you through the process of building a New York City set, starting in Photoshop to create correct-scale architectural 2D blueprints. These blueprints are then imported into Maya to build a complete production-ready 3D set in a modular and adjustable way. After building the set, Tony covers the basics of texturing, lighting, and camera setups in Maya. The workshop then moves on to cleaning and packaging the 3D file and rendering using Arnold in Maya.

Parallax Node v1.1.0 for Blender

Blender 4.5 - 5

• An add-on for Blender that provides custom nodes for creating parallax mapping effects in shader materials. Many parallax node configurations already exist, so the concept itself is not new. What really sets this node apart is its user-friendly design. Instead of a complex group of nodes, this implementation is a single specialised node that directly contains the height map texture and allows you to control the number of iterations by changing the step parameter.
