Class Description

This session will show some of the production effects available through new and old shaders. Again, this will be geared up for the intermediate user. We'll look at how to create volumetric effects, contour renders to create hidden line animations, time efficient methods for motion blur and depth of field, and use of ambient and reflective occlusion to create stylized renders, using the new production shaders and an example of the workflow. Methods of using mr render elements will also be discussed and examples will be shown. I will bring a Victorian gazing ball to create a low dynamic range visualization using the room as a backdrop. This will show the users the entire workflow and show how an LDRI can match an HDRI for lighting.
