COURSE CURRICULUM

What will I learn in Mad VFX?

LESSON #1

Element 3D Essentials

Visual effects are closely connected with 3D. VideoCopilot’s Element 3D is a powerful tool that allows you to create really mind-blowing 3D compositions with materials, textures and lightning directly in After Effects.
So, in this section Eduard will guide you through all the most necessary features of this tool and break down one of his own shots. He will also show you how to prepare your 3D models for animation in Element 3D using Cinema 4D. After completing this set of lessons you will be able to create your own full-fledged 3D comps.

LESSON #2

Creating HUDs and Glitches

In this section you will learn a bunch of techniques to create cyber effects with a big variety of technogenic distortions and futuristic interfaces.

Eduard will teach you how to create glitches and HUDs using built-in After Effects tools as well as show you how to use 3rd party scripts & plugins.
You will also get an exclusive Motion Elements pack from the author which you will be able to use in your personal and commercial projects.

About the author

Mrxhr05xwiyavzkhdgjlw18q4koltk eduard mykhailov

My name is Eduard and my job has literally saved my life. I love experimenting and, probably, that is why I like this sphere with its immense potential for creativity so much. Normally, I draw inspiration from the life itself and from the desire to do something really cool (you know, like cool characters in the movies – you just want to be like one of them). What inspired me to make this course is that idea that sharing with others and helping them gives you one of the best feelings in the world.

The lessons are great. You get what you’re looking for and a little more.

I work for Accenture and animated videos are on a daily basis. Our clients loved the few effects that I was able to learn at the course. Also, I still go back to the lessons and find something new to learn.

Great classes and I’m happy that invested in them. I definitely learned a lot of new ways of working that made me faster and better at my job.

Nikki Slaughter

I’ve watched some of the shorter classes and have loved them! The teaching style is fantastic and engaging ? I’ve also enjoyed seeing everyone’s work in the FB groups. Everyone seems to be excited to give helpful feedback and encouragement! I recommend your classes to my coworkers and friends all the time (am a full time sr. designer).

The Science of Character course was extremely helpful. It was easy to follow and the lessons were top notch. Your team produces high quality learning experiences that I haven’t found in other places when it comes to motion graphics. Keep up the great work!

Elys Muda

Yes, I found the courses extremely helpful and well put together. I was researching online tutorials for my colleagues who are just beginning to learn AE and was testing out a MDS course to see if I could recommend it. I ended up learning a lot myself 🙂
