The Gnomon Workshop - VFX for Games Creating a Fantasy Scene

用Unreal，Houdini，Photoshop 創建幻想場景的游戲的視覺特效教程。

跟隨操作，使用Houdini、Mixamo、Photoshop 和 Character Creator 為虛幻引擎創建一個浮動的幻想場景。所教授的工作流程、工具和原則已被高級視覺特效藝術家基根·威廉姆斯（Keagan Williams）用于漫威的午夜太陽等視頻游戲。

本次研討會的目標是指導您創建基根展示的幻想場景，同時為您提供高效、靈活、精美地開發和表達自己的創意所需的技能。

本次工作坊主要面向初級到中級美術師，非常適合那些希望創建實時視覺特效作品集的人，尤其是那些超越基本粒子系統的作品。通過這個工作坊展示的場景以視覺特效元素為特色，Keagan還觸及了Houdini的KineFX和Vellum的世界，以及風格化的頭發，燈光，藍圖等。推薦一些基本的Houdini和虛幻引擎知識。

處理棘手的視覺特效序列需要初始時間投入，但是，您會發現所展示的技術將為您在自己的項目中提供更大的創作自由。

您可以使用此研討會中演示的角色跟隨;或者，您可以創建或使用自己的。按照本教程進行操作時，我們建議下載 Keagan 引用的（免費）Mixamo 角色和動畫。此外，Keagan還提供了研討會中幾乎所有其他內容所需的文件。

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.
