Special effects artists need to learn a range of skills and knowledge, including but not limited to the following:
1.Computer Graphics: This is the basis of special effects production, which involves the processing, generation and transformation of digital images.
2.3D modeling and animation: VFX artists need to be familiar with 3D modeling software, such as Maya, 3ds Max, etc., to create virtual scenes, characters, and objects. At the same time, they also need to understand the principles of animation to make the movement of virtual objects more natural and realistic.
3.Special effects production software: Special effects artists need to master special effects production software, such as Adobe After Effects, Nuke, Houdini, etc., to produce various special effects, such as **, fire, water flow, etc.
4.Photography and videography techniques: Special effects artists need to understand the fundamentals and techniques of photography and videography in order to better simulate real-world scenes and light and shadow effects.
5.Physics and Mathematical Principles: There are many physical and mathematical principles involved in special effects production, such as optics, mechanics, linear algebra, etc. VFX artists need to understand these principles in order to more accurately simulate real-world effects.
If you want to improve your professional and technical skills, I recommend signing up for a training course.
This time, I have compiled a few educational institutions in the industry that are worth learning about
Wang's Education
The main courses are: board drawing, original painting, illustration, comics, AI painting, animation, CG modeling, Unreal Engine, post-production special effects, shooting and editing, etc., advantages: good reputation, many campuses across the country, disadvantages: slightly expensive.
cgwang
I have friends who have studied film and television post-production in their Zhengzhou campus, and the feedback is still very high, it seems that it has been very stable for so many years, I always thought that their strength was the first-tier city campus and CG painting classes, and it turned out that other courses were also very good.
Painter Scholar
A treasure-level platform in the field of self-learning, first-class tutorials, complete resource materials, fast content iteration, and the scale of the offline campus is also very large, and the management is also very standardized. Parents who are not at ease and afraid of informality can try this institution.
Zhima teaching
Gathering all kinds of big touches in the CG field, there are a wide range of tutorial categories, and you can focus on learning CG painting, film and television game modeling animation or short ** shooting operations and post-production special effects, and you can basically learn cutting-edge practical technology in it.
The jobs that can be done by studying film and television special effects include, but are not limited to:
1.Special effects production for movies, TV series, and cartoons.
2.Game development and design, including special effects production of characters, scenes, and props.
3.Special effects production for advertising and marketing, such as commercials, product displays, etc.
4.Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) special effects production.
If the design of the Old Summer Palace had used modern film and television technology, we might have seen more vivid and realistic recreations of historical scenes. For example, through 3D modeling and rendering technology, the historical features of the Old Summer Palace can be recreated, making the audience feel as if they are in the imperial gardens of the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, special effects can also be used to simulate the scenery changes of the Old Summer Palace in different seasons and different time periods, as well as the scene of bright lights at night, so as to increase the fun and interactivity of viewing. In addition, through AR technology, the audience can also see the virtual restoration of historical buildings and cultural relics in real time during the tour of the Old Summer Palace, and have a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the Old Summer Palace.
In short, the application of film and television special effects technology can bring a more vivid and realistic visual experience to the audience, and also provide a broad career development space for special effects artists.
