It was good to be back with the VFX students from Filmakademie, where CAVE Academy recently delivered a series of workshops on capturing reference for Environments.
During the workshop, we covered capturing and processing geometry reference using LiDAR and photogrammetry techniques. This involved working with a FARO scanner and using Reality Capture for meshing.
Following on from this, we covered capturing lighting reference (360 HDRIs and LightMaps).
A big shout-out also to Dan Gilligan for joining us for a Q&A where the students were able to have a roundtable discussion on all things VFX onset.
If you are a school or studio looking for hands-on VFX training, you can find out more about how CAVE can support you here:
