Phoenix Advanced Large-Scale Water FX Course by RedefineFX Information

Phoenix Advanced Large-Scale Water FX Course by RedefineFX by Jesse Pitela is a specialized training program focused on creating realistic, large-scale water simulations using Phoenix FD in 3ds Max.

Master Massive Water FX Simulations with Splash & Foam in 3Ds Max

YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO:

• Create large water simulations from ship wakes to rivers & waterfalls
• Add realistic splash, foam, & mist and learn how to control them
• Extend your base water sim seamlessly into an infinite ocean
• Discover new features in Phoenix FD 4
• Optimize and speed up your simulations & rendering
• Add Wet-maps to make objects appear wet when water touches them (e.g. beach sand)
• Use V-ray sun for realistic daylight lighting
• Setup a nice ocean water shader

Why this course?

I made the course I wish had existed when I started learning Phoenix FD. If I could go back, I would take a course like this in a heartbeat, instead of spending the last few months figuring out how to do all of these effects through trial and error. Change a setting, run the sim, see how it works, repeat. Over and over, until I learned:

• exactly how this plugin works
• what each and every setting does & how it influences the simulation
• the common rookie mistakes & pitfalls to avoid
• how to stop my simulations from taking forever to run
• why it’s taking days to render instead of hours
• why the foam is flickering and/or disappearing
• why the ship isn’t interacting with the water as expected

What will I get from this course?

Go from enthusiast to PRO at setting up your own high-quality water simulations. Level up your reel and portfolio, wow your clients with premium visuals & start charging more for your work today. The transformation you will go through as you take the course will give you the tools and confidence to set-up a variety of unique water simulations for your own reel, give you very cool stuff to post on Instagram, wow your friends and take your work to a whole new level.

Why this skillset?

There are so many opportunities and so few people that can do this type of work, some examples include:

• Music videos & VFX for films and TV shows
• Concert visuals & Tradeshow displays
• Documentaries
• The shipping & oil industries
• Luxury product videos (yachts, ships)
• Waterproof products
• Commercials involving water, such as roofs, basement flood protection, rain guards…)
• and much more

Why RedefineFX?

RedefineFX is not only a Chaos Group Certified Training Center, we are the first-ever, and currently the only, institution authorized to teach Phoenix FD. We teach over 27,000 people online how to go from beginner to pro at creating high-end visual effects.
