继续使用 Houdini、Mixamo、Photoshop 和 Character Creator 为 Unreal Engine 创建浮动奇幻场景。高级视觉特效艺术家 Keagan Williams 在 Marvel 的 Midnight Suns 等视频游戏中使用了所教授的工作流程、工具和原理。

本次研讨会的目标是指导您完成基根演示的奇幻场景的创作，同时赋予您高效、灵活、精美地开发和表达自己的创意所需的技能。

该研讨会主要针对初级到中级艺术家，非常适合那些希望创建实时视觉特效作品集的人，特别是那些超越基本粒子系统的人。通过本次研讨会演示的场景具有核心视觉特效元素，基根还涉及胡迪尼的 KineFX 和 Vellum 的世界，以及风格化的头发、灯光、蓝图等。建议具备一些基础的 Houdini 和虚幻引擎知识。

处理棘手的视觉特效序列需要投入时间；但是，您会发现所演示的技术将为您自己的项目带来更大的创作自由。

Title: The Gnomon Workshop – VFX For Games Creating A Fantasy Scene

Info:
Follow along to create a floating fantasy scene for Unreal Engine using Houdini, Mixamo, Photoshop, and Character Creator. The workflow, tools, and principles taught have been used by Senior VFX Artist Keagan Williams on videogame titles such as Marvel’s Midnight Suns.

The goal of this workshop is to guide you through the creation of the fantasy scene demonstrated by Keagan while also empowering you with the skills you need to efficiently, flexibly, and beautifully develop and express your own creative ideas.

Primarily aimed at beginner to mid-level artists, this workshop is ideal for those looking to create real-time VFX portfolio pieces, particularly those that go beyond basic particle systems. The scene demonstrated through this workshop features a central VFX element, and Keagan also touches on the worlds of Houdini’s KineFX and Vellum, as well as stylized hair, lighting, blueprints, and more. Some basic Houdini and Unreal Engine knowledge is recommended.

Tackling tricky VFX sequences involves an initial investment of time; however, you’ll discover that the techniques demonstrated will open you up to much greater creative freedom on your own projects.

You can follow along using the character demonstrated in this workshop; alternatively, you can create or use your own. When following along with this tutorial, we recommend downloading the (free) Mixamo characters and animations as referenced by Keagan. Additionally, Keagan has provided the files needed for almost everything else seen in the workshop.
