• This hand-edited tutorial shows you how to easily achieve a dreamy edit without spending hours behind your computer!
• The Unicorn Hand-Edited Tutorial shows you how easily achieve a dreamy edit without spending hours behind your computer! Not everyone wants to use presets or actions & that’s ok
• Also included: The RAW file that is used in this tutorial so you can edit it along with Heather! You can also use them to play around with after to create your own magic! ( Disclaimer: You may not claim the image as your own). Also included are 1 texture, 1 light overlay, and my daughter’s dream list.

We pour so much of ourselves into our photography. We shoot our hearts out. We compose with careful attention. We light with purpose. We go for moments that matter. And nothing can make all of that shine, like better post production. It’s time for a master key, to unlock your work’s greatest potential.

Houdini is best at creating realistic, physically based simulations. In this course we explore why it’s also the right choice when it comes to stylized effects..

We’re going to cover the best ways to approach fast, dynamic FX, and how to optimize the setups to get the best results.

Houdini offers many tools for controlling particles with precise movement. To get the results you want, it’s important to understand how to work with vectors.

You also need to know how to turn these particle simulations into geometry, and then apply shading and rendering to complete the process. Mastering these steps will give you full creative control over your simulations.

• Creating snow with Houdini Vellum is relatively straightforward, but problems can arise when working with collision geometry. In this course, we’ll cover not only how to set up an efficient grains simulation, but also how to solve common challenges that come up in Vellum simulations.
• The second part of the course will focus on creating magical spirits using particles, as well as a detailed look at Nuke compositing and look development.

• Level up your real-time VFX fundamentals with senior VFX artist Tobias Ahlgren Cederlöf as he breaks down the foundations of making great effects for games — while also analyzing what can make game FX not-so-great for comparison. This workshop offers a great introduction of the key concepts that aspiring VFX artists should follow, while also proving to be a helpful refresher and source of inspiration for experienced artists.
• Using nothing but basic elements including sprites, meshes, and animated materials, Tobias creates a multi-stage anime-inspired effect while focusing on the fundamental animation principles coined by animators at Walt Disney Studios many years ago. By completing this workshop, artists will have learned what goes into making great effects at the very core, without needing fancy tech or complicated pipelines.

• Design a near-future racing machine in this conceptual vehicle design workshop by veteran 3D artist and concept designer, Chris Beatty. Over the course of 8 hours, Chris guides artists through his entire design process, which he has honed over two decades of experience working in the industry designing high-profile concepts for motorsports such as for the world-famous Indy 500.
• Chris shares his extensive knowledge, skills, and techniques with artists of all levels who are looking to master a practical “form follows function” creative process. Grounded in real-world engineering considerations, you'll learn how to style a race vehicle with a touch of science-fiction for added artistic license.
• This workshop uses Blender as the primary production tool. Chris demonstrates his Blender modeling techniques to sculpt the vehicle's form, showing how to maintain maximum creative freedom throughout the process. He also details how to extend the commitment point as far as possible before reaching the final modeling and rendering stage. The creative process is also complemented by Adobe Creative Cloud’s Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects.
• By completing this workshop, you will develop a comprehensive understanding of how to create vehicle concepts that balance function and artistic flair, leading to greater believability in the final results. These principles can be applied to any vehicle genre, whether a real-world race car or your next spaceship project. You should emerge from this workshop feeling accomplished and knowledgeable in the art of vehicle design.

• The structure for this fly-on-the-wall workshop is a little different than my typical courses. This experience is about watching the real-world creative process in action.
• Day 1: I will introduce each of our photographers, and they will share their fine art concept in a sketch. Then our cameras will follow them as they have the run of my studio to create their fine art portrait, with me helping as their assistant.
• Day 2: We’ll discuss what we learned, work on retouching in Photoshop, and print their images for a final dramatic reveal.
• Join me as we watch each of these stories unfold one-by-one from concept to framed prints.
