Fabian knows, he worked on a lot of them.
In this interactive session, we'll delve into generating particles for initial sources and thrusters and engage in volumetric simulations to bring our scenes to life. We'll use velocity data to advect additional particles like debris, creating dynamic and realistic effects.
With a free spaceship model at our disposal, we'll animate the captivating landing sequence and construct the environment using HeightFields, ensuring a seamless integration with the surrounding landscape.
This workshop is not just about replicating a scene; it's a comprehensive skill-building journey that prepares you for the demands of blockbuster movie production. To add an extra layer of excitement, Fabian will also share his quick takes on scenes from the 2021 Dune, showcasing the wide applicability of the techniques you'll learn.
