Compositing 3D into Video in Maya and After Effects

Compositing 3D into Video in Maya and After Effects : In this Video tutorial by 3dmaxfarsi , you will learn all the skills and techniques needed to create live images using 3D elements. You learn how to incorporate 3D elements into your environments and create animation and then lighting and rendering in Maya.

First you get to know the important settings for DSLR cameras then go to the Maya environment and learn how to add 3D elements.

Then you will be looking at how to add light and render. The course also includes training projects that teach you how to create 3D live scenes using Maya and After Effects. You do not need to know specific information for this course because you will learn all the information about the course during the courses.

In this tutorial Compositing 3D into Video in Maya and After Effects, we’ll learn how to take the output from a motion tracker app into Maya, import a 3D model to light and render, then jump into After Effects to composite it with our original footage.

Software required: Maya 2010 and After Effects CS4 and up for project files .
