Skillshare – Create VFX Wi-Fi Trails with MASH for Maya

MASH 是一个非常强大的动态图形和视觉效果插件，现在随 Maya 一起提供。它是一个程序系统，可让您通过易于使用的界面创建复杂的模拟和动画。

MASH 通常用于动态图形，但是，由于它能够创建动态和逼真的模拟，它在 VFX 中也有很大的用途。与Arnold渲染器的强大功能结合使用时尤其如此。

本课程旨在分解在 MASH for Maya 中创建 Wi-Fi 路径的过程，类似于您期望在 Watchdogs、电信广告和 BBC 新闻的开场序列中看到的动画。在课程中，我们将使用 Maya 和 Nuke 和/或After Effects设计、纹理、渲染和合成我们的 Wi-Fi 轨迹。

本课程的先决条件如下：

• 对 Maya 导航的基本了解
• 2017 年以后的 Maya 副本
• Nuke 或 After Effects 的副本

其余的我将通过 1 个主要练习从头开始教你。然后，您将有机会在最终的总结性作业中练习这些技巧。

课程大纲

• 第 1 课 – 使用 Mash 创建我们的 Wi-Fi 轨迹（关于如何模拟、纹理和渲染我们的 Wi-Fi 轨迹的演练）
• 第 2 课 – 在 Nuke 中合成镜头（分解镜头如何在 Nuke 中组合在一起）
• 第 3 课 – 在 After Effects 中合成（分解镜头如何在 After Effects 中组合在一起）
• 项目任务（作业）——（本课将引导您完成您所承担的最终任务，总结本课程中学到的技能和技巧。

如课程大纲中所述，课程将以一个非常有趣的作业结束，您将有机会练习您在本课程中学到的技能！我期待看到你们创造的东西，所以请上传您的作品！

我希望您喜欢这门课程，就像我喜欢创建它一样！

Title: Skillshare – Create VFX Wi-Fi Trails with MASH for Maya

Info:

MASH is a very powerful Motion Graphics and Visual Effects plugin that now ships with Maya. It is a procedural system that allows you to create complex simulations and animations with an easy-to-use interface.

MASH is often used for motion graphics, however, it can also have great uses in VFX due to its ability to create dynamic and realistic simulations. This is especially true when combined with the power of the Arnold Renderer.

This course aims to break down the process of creating Wi-Fi trails in MASH for Maya, similar to the animations you would expect to see on Watchdogs, Telecommunications adverts and the opening sequence of BBC News. In the course we will design, texture, render and composite our Wi-Fi trails, utilising Maya and Nuke and/or After Effects.

The pre-requisites to this course are as follows:

• A basic understanding of navigating Maya
• A copy of Maya from 2017 onwards
• A copy of Nuke or After Effects

The rest I will teach you from the ground up across 1 main exercise. You will then have the opportunity to practice these techniques in a final summative assignment.

Course outline

• Lesson 1 – Creating our Wi-Fi trails with Mash (A walkthrough of how to simulate, texture and render our Wi-Fi Trails)
• Lesson 2 – Compositing the shot in Nuke (A breakdown of how the composited shot comes together in Nuke)
• Lesson 3 – Compositing in After Effects (A breakdown of how the composited shot comes together in After Effects)
• Project Task (Assignment) – (This lesson will walk you through the final assignment that you have been tasked with, summarising the skills and techniques learnt in this course.

As mentioned above in the course outline, the course will finish with a really fun assignment where you will have the opportunity to practice the skills that you have learnt in this course! I’m looking forward to seeing what you guys create so please upload your work!

I hope you enjoy this course as much as I enjoyed creating it!
