Getting Started with Composite
In this series of lessons, we'll learn how to get started using Autodesk Composite, which was previously called Autodesk Toxik. Software required: Composite 2011.
What you'll learn
In this series of lessons, we'll learn how to get started using Autodesk Composite, which was previously called Autodesk Toxik. Using Composite we can quickly color correct, mask, composite and animate still images and image sequences. We'll begin this project by learning the basic composition creation process, learning how to move around the Composite user interface, begin compositing images together and render out our finished material. We'll then move into the common uses of Composite such as Color Correction, Masking, 3D compositing, and Animation. This series of lessons, is a great starting point to learning Composite. By learning the tools and fundamental workflows of Composite, we will be able to create complex effects and images in no time. This will allow us to begin exploring other areas of Composite and start using Composite in our own production pipeline. Software required: Composite 2011.
