Bhaumik offers a unique blend of considerable experience in the field and current knowledge of the latest versions (Maya 2018, Matchmover) to give you a full view of the VFX fundamentals covered by this course. Excellent course and highly recommended.
Esse curso pra mim vai ser a o inicio de um excelente profissional. Quero aproveitar o máximo para conseguir grandes resultados.
Do NOT purchase this course as it will be a waste of time. MatchMover, which is a program used for this course, isn't available anymore anywhere (for MAC users and Windows). This course needs to be updated. I wanted to start this and was extremely disappointed. Courses that teach you programs that don't even EXIST anymore shouldn't be allowed on this site. Whats the point?
Right off the bat, this course is exceptionally user-friendly and informative. The instructor explains everything in a very in-depth manner without any confusion. Would absolutely recommend to anyone with beginner to mid-level understanding of the included programs.
