Entagma – Patreon Advanced CG Tutorials (update up to May 2021)

我们都是介于艺术、视觉特效和技术之间的 CG 艺术家。我们都对教学充满热情。在从事商业项目时，我们经常面临需要非常规技术的不寻常任务。在空闲时间，我们喜欢在屏幕前花很长时间，研究有趣的算法和方法。我们决定与大家分享这些技巧，并建立一个在线视频库作为参考和灵感。

2016 年 6 月，我们开始在 Vimeo 频道上免费创建高级 CG 教程。从那时起，我们创建了 70 多个教程视频和一系列资源，可帮助您获得计算机图形学的高级技能。我们分享了我们一直在研究并在生产中使用的技术。

我们真的很喜欢运行 Entagma！我们喜欢围绕它形成的伟大社区。如果您喜欢我们的工作，并渴望支持我们制作更棒的东西，请随时成为我们的赞助人。在您的帮助下，我们将能够继续我们在去年所做的工作。

你有什么好处？
为了成为赞助人，我们将在这里与您分享独家提供的内容：我们艺术品的全分辨率渲染、用于阴影/照明和渲染的文件、幕后和独家 Patreon 课程。在这条“专业赛道”上，我们最多将同时开设两门课程。我们每个月都会发布一两个专业的教程视频（包括场景文件、渲染设置、支持材料等）。随着时间的推移，这些将加起来成为全功能的 10 集研讨会，重点关注一个主题。已经开始或正在准备的课程包括：

第 101 卷 – 深入了解 Houdini 强大的卷以及如何以传统和非常规方式使用它们。
在 VEX 101 中编程 – 学习如何在没有编程知识的情况下像专业人士一样编写脚本，使用 Houdini 强大的 VEX 语言
将 Houdini 添加到您的阿森纳 – 您在设计环境中过渡到 Houdini 的快速通道。
Grains&Vellum – 关于基于 Houdini PBD 的 DOP 求解器的一切.
粒子 101 – 了解创建基于粒子的 VFX 和设计效果的来龙去脉。

它是如何工作的？
当您注册成为我们的赞助人时，您将选择您希望每月承诺的金额。这笔钱直接（减去 Patreon 和 PayPal 的份额）用于资助我们的 Vimeo 频道、我们的网络空间、硬件和基础设施，并使我们能够为您创造更多教育和娱乐内容。根据您承诺的金额，无论何时发布，您都可以立即访问所有 patreon 独家内容。

但是请注意，Patreon 将始终在每个月的第一天收费。因此，如果您想退订，请确保在月底前退订，以充分利用您的承诺。我们的 Patreon 设置为预先充电。

我们的教程视频仅供订阅，不可下载。这意味着一旦您承诺解锁完整视频访问权限（29 美元/月或更高），您就可以访问我们完整的优质视频库。一旦取消订阅，您将失去访问权限。但是你可以随时重新订阅?

Hey Guys, this is Manuel and Moritz of Entagma.

We’re both CG artists working somewhere in between art, VFX and technology. And we both have a passion for teaching. While working on commercial projects we often face unusual tasks that require unconventional techniques. And in our spare time we enjoy spending long hours in front of the screen, investigating interesting algorithms and approaches. We decided to share these techniques with you and build an online video library to serve as a reference and inspiration.

In June 2016 we started creating advanced CG tutorials on our Vimeo channel for free. Since then we created over 70 tutorial videos and a collection of resources that will help you acquire advanced skills in computer graphics. We share techniques that we’ve been nerding about and have been using in production.

We really enjoy running Entagma! And we love the great community that formed around it. If you like our work and feel the urge to support us in making even more awesome stuff, feel free to become our patron. With your help we’ll be able to continue what we did over the course of the last year.

What’s in for you?
For becoming a patron, we’re gonna share content exclusively available here with you: Full resolution renderings of our artwork, the files used for shading/lighting and rendering those, behind the scenes and exclusive Patreon-only courses. On this „pro track“ we’ll have up to two courses running at the same time. We’ll release one or two professional tutorial videos every month (including scene files, render setups, support materials, etc.). These will add up to full featured 10 – episode workshops focusing on one single topic over time. Courses that already started or are currently being prepared include:

Volumes 101 – an in depth look at Houdini’s mighty volumes and how to use them in conventional and unconventional ways.
Programming in VEX 101 – learn how to script like a pro with no prior programming knowledge, using Houdini’s powerful VEX language
Adding Houdini To Your Arsenal – your fast track to transitioning to Houdini in a design environment.
Grains&Vellum – Everything about Houdinis PBD based DOP solvers.
Particles 101 – Learn about the ins and outs of creating particle based VFX and design effects.

How does it work?
When you sign up as our patron, you’ll select how much you’d like to pledge per month. This money goes directly (well – minus Patreon’s & PayPal’s share) into funding our Vimeo channel, our webspace, hardware and infrastructure and enables us to create even more educational and entertaining content for you. Depending on the amount you pledged you’ll get immediate access to all of the patreon exclusive content regardless of when it was posted.

Be aware however that Patreon will always charge at the first day of each month. So if you’d like to unsubscribe, make sure to unsubscribe towards the end of a month in order to get the most out of your pledge. Our Patreon is set up to charge up front.

Our tutorial videos are subscription only, they are not available for download. This means that as soon as you’re pledging a tier which unlocks full video access (29$/mo or higher), you’ll be able to access our full premium video library. As soon as you unsubscribe, you’ll lose access. But you can resubscribe any time ?

We’re thrilled about the sheer amount of positive feedback we’ve been receiving since we launched Entagma! Thank you so much for all the positivity you help us experience! Let’s make Entagma even more awesome!
