Learn to replicate the lighting, textures, and colors of the real world in 3D scenes

Producer and VFX artist Ro Bot has worked in advertising and more recently for productions such as The Walking Dead, Club de Cuervos and Heroes Reborn. He has always used light as a volumetric element that brings realism to his 3D scenes.

In this online course, he teaches you how to work with photorealism from a less technical and more functional approach, generating credible images from CGI renders that allow you to imitate reality, transforming it at will.

This course is complementary to VFX Techniques for ArchViz Projects, where Ro Bot teaches you how to elevate your architectural visualization projects by integrating CGI and video.
