This course, KATANA Mastering LookDev & Lighting for the VFX industry, is designed to help students jump-start their career in the competitive VFX industry. Led by Arvid Schneider, an established artist with more than 10 years of experience in the industry, this course will provide students with the knowledge and expertise to become advanced lighting and shading TDs.
The course will cover topics such as installation and navigation of Katana, principles of look development and lighting, creating advanced and versatile look and lighting templates, look development of production assets, shot lighting of production assets, rendering shots, and compositing. Students will also learn how to create powerful macros and templates to organize their work, as well as advanced lookdev and lighting practices such as opscripts, graph state variables, reference expressions, macros, live groups, and variable switches.
By the end of the course, students will be able to fully work with Katana at a high level, jump into a VFX company with advanced knowledge in templates and workflows, create and customize custom workflows, and develop tools and macros.
This course is tagged for all levels, but it gets Intermediate and Advanced fairly quickly. It is a technical and artistic course, so it will contain quite a lot of theory, but also artistic hands-on lectures. The course is using Katana for Windows and Arnold as the main software tools, but all topics can be achieved on Linux or Mac workstations, the same applies for other renderers.
This course is not about teaching a specific renderer, modelling, texturing, animation, Python, Lua, or other programming languages.
