Work on a scene's set dressing starting from the idea, to the blocking and composition, up to the final render
Composition, color, and lighting are the keys to bringing a 3D stage to life. Through the set dressing, you can not only decorate and set a realistic environment but also provide information to the story you want to tell. Albert Valls is a 3D artist who specializes in modeling and scene creation, and his projects are defined by his passion for the small details. In this course, he teaches you how to create your own scene.
With his experience working in Framestore for high-level productions such as Avengers: Infinity War, Thor: Ragnarok, and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, in this course he teaches you all the necessary steps to create a scene from scratch in Autodesk Maya.
Start with the idea, blocking and composing, until the final render. You will see the techniques and tools that will help you turn your imagination into reality while discovering the methodology used by professional studios.
