What you'll learn

In this tutorial, we will learn to create an abstract creature in Maya using KRAKATOA and composite our shots in Fusion. Throughout these lessons, we will look at how to create a complete shot from conception to the final product. We'll start by using Maya's built-in effects as a base for our particles and then delve into KRAKATOA to learn the fundamentals of this tool, as well as explore several KRAKATOA settings and render several shots using the KRAKATOA renderer. Finally, we will begin to composite using advanced compositing techniques to create a series of high-quality shots. By the end of this training, you should feel comfortable using KRAKATOA with Maya and Fusion in your current workflow. Software required: Maya 2013, KRAKATOA MY, Fusion 6.3, Genarts Sapphire 6, Frischluft Lenscare .
