Visual Effects school training courses in Atlanta, GA (public, in-house or online)

High Dynamic Range Imaging emphasizes the integration of computer-generated objects or characters into real world video or film footage. High Dynamic Range Imaging seeks to develop and integrate photography, lighting, and rendering into various 3-D and 2-D software applications by utilizing digital images containing light information more accurately than traditional digital imaging means

Stereoscopic imaging is being used increasingly in fields ranging from the sciences (medical imaging and scientific visualization) to entertainment (immersive rides, games and movies). Historical, current and future techniques for the presentation of stereoscopic images will be explored in this course. Integrating a combination of 2-D and 3-D software tools, projects will include the creation of still and moving stereoscopic images, both from scratch and from pre-existing source materials.

In this programming course, students are introduced to workstation text editing, LINUX/UNIX file management, the LINUX/UNIX environment, LINUX/UNIX shell scripting and basic object-oriented programming.

This course is an in-depth study of programming techniques used to develop the artistic vision of a 3-D environment. Industry standard shader language is used to create rendering effects for the production of still images and animations using the most prevalent software in the industry.

Students develop believable lighting and rendering solutions for environments in both live-action integration and computer-generated scenes. Students will understand the lighting tools available as well as a variety of rendering techniques to create believable lighting situations.
