Master the digital composition process to give your work a professional finish
When creating an animation, the composition process —although oftentimes overlooked—is an essential part of the production process, and mastering this process allows for a highly professional finish in your 3D animations.
Roberto Puig—motion graphics artist with over 15 years of experience—has developed and directed projects for clients such as CBC Sports, BBC Entertainment, Discovery Networks, Cbeebies, and many more. In this course, he teaches alongside other specialized artists from the Don Porfirio studio, how to reach a higher visual quality through essential techniques, to give stunning finishing touches using Adobe After Effects.
See the importance of the rendering process from 3ds Max or any other 3D animation software that will enable you to have more control over the post-production of elements previously animated, when it comes to working on After Effects.
