CGCookie - Fundamentals of Rendering in Blender 2.7

https://cgcookie.com/courses/fundamentals-of-rendering

It's about bringing together all the distinct components - models, textures, shaders, lights, and animations. Just like setting the right oven temperature and timer for a dish, rendering requires setting specific parameters to ensure the final output is impeccable. However, mastering rendering is about striking the right balance between quality and efficiency. Naturally, higher quality takes longer rendering times. The challenge lies in answering, 'How can we optimize this scene's rendering speed without significantly compromising on its quality?' Rendering, in essence, becomes an art of making judicious compromises. Through this course, delve deep into the core concepts of Cycles, equipping you with the know-how to make the best rendering decisions.

Category: FXs | Total Duration: 3h 28m 0s | Level: Intermediate | Language: English

• Hello everyone. I'm Arsen Margaryan, and I am excited to introduce you to the second part of my tutorial dedicated to Houdini VOP,  in which I have moved even further and deeper into node-based programming. Before describing this tutorial's content, I want to kind of warn you that this lesson does not contain speech. I came up with a style of teaching information in which the absence of speech accompaniment does not matter much. So, this tutorial is a collection of solutions to useful and very practical problems that will help you understand the concept of VOP deeper and deeper and significantly expand your skills. Throughout the course, we will cover about 46 tasks, and they are all chosen in such a way that they touch on different aspects of the VOP and use a lot of interesting and important nodes. In fact, this is a huge amount of content dedicated exclusively to VOP, and after mastering this course, you are unlikely to want to deal with VEX coding. So, that's it! I hope you enjoy the lessons and they will come in handy all the time. Also, please, feel free to leave your honest opinion or suggestions under the review section, which will help me to improve and create new content.
