VFX 2D + ADVANCED 3D + COMPOSITING + AI/ML

About Course

The VFX 2D + Advanced 3D + Compositing + AI/ML course offers an advanced, end-to-end learning experience that combines traditional VFX production techniques with the latest AI-driven tools used in modern filmmaking and content creation.
This course covers the complete production pipeline — from rotoscoping and cleanup to advanced 3D simulation, dynamic effects, lighting, rendering, and AI-assisted compositing. Students will work with professional-grade tools like Nuke, Maya/Blender, Houdini, Unreal Engine, and Runway AI, integrating AI models into the VFX workflow for faster, smarter results.
By the end of the course, learners will not only master the VFX craft but also gain future-ready skills in AI-assisted production, generative content creation, and automation in post-production pipelines.
