This course has been great at teaching me the basic principles of visual effect creation using maya and nuke. I took this course to help with my 4th year honors project which will be based on visual effects. I wanted to learn about the software the the techniques that are used in the creation of these visual effects and this course successfully demonstrated them. I did have some issue in some areas but I did managed to get through them. I feel this was due to my lack of understanding of the software in places but I did manage to get through them. As mentioned in the course description some previous knowledge of Maya does help. However most aspects were explained clearly and concisely and were very easy to understand. The lecturer was very easy to follow along with and the resources provided were excellent and helpful.Completing this course has increased my confidence with the Maya visual effects and will hopefully help me succeed in my honors project next year when looking at different visual effects. I strongly recommend this course to anyone with an interest in digital visual effects and would like to try a easy to manage project.

Its really good tutorial. It's my first Maya experience but I got a lot of thing from this tutorial. I didn't understand completely but learned very unique knowledge. Thank you Bhaumik

one of the most in-depth and engaging tutorials I have seen yet. I have always had trouble connecting all the dots from creating assets in Autodesk Maya, placing in a background, adding disturbed types of ground, making it look natural, and rendering out to a compositing program to make adjustments.I could always do individual parts but I could never make work together. The instructor explained what he was doing and why. So you understand where to begin, all the way to the end and everything in between.

Subtitles could be optional and not put automaticallyare very often bad localized. Prefer not to make automaticall subtitles.

There are great tips and techniques that Im learning. But a little explanation on why doing certain things will clarify its reasoning.

By Pete Thomson on

Lots of excellent take aways here from tracking, Modelling, UV's & Maya Fluid FX, Arnold shaders, materials, AOV rendering & a nice easy & concise introduction to Nuke. Nice tooltips on all workflows & advice on free alternate products beyond the commercial giants. Easy & fun to follow; Lots to cover, so beginners may find it challenging, but a very satisfying result if you stick it out. Enjoyed this course very much, thank-you Bhaumik for taking the time to put this together! Great Job!
