We add more models that help to make the piece feel more customized. After adding the textures we move onto the lighting process where we learn a few tricks for lighting a scene well without making your render take much longer than it needs to. After rendering in CINEMA 4D, we move into After Effects where we use CINEWARE to extract our CINEMA 4D placeholders, lights, and camera. We can then easily continue the compositing process. Our shot is completed with realistic looking screens, lens flares, and other lens effects. By the end of the course, you'll learn how to start with nothing and end with a fully completed 3D motion graphics piece you can be proud of!

Author Chad Perkins starts with an introductory project to get you comfortable with the overall workflow in Element 3D, including transforming objects, applying materials, and lighting scenes. The course then details how to create 3D text and shapes, apply translucency and reflections, animate objects, and polish your projects with effects like ambient occlusion and motion blur. The course concludes with an advanced project that leverages each of these techniques.

In this tutorial we'll be covering the entire pipeline of compositing live action footage into a lunar environment. Keying and compositing will be done inside of Adobe After Effects, matchmoving in PFTrack 2011 with the recent node based workflow, texturing in Photoshop, and all 3D processes done in Autodesk Maya using mental ray. By the end of this training, you'll have the knowledge to take live action, green screen footage and composite it into a realistic 3D environment with a re-animated matchmoved camera.
