(xylophone music) - [Voiceover] Hi, I'm Craig Whitaker, and welcome to Visual Effects Techniques: Creating a CG Flag with CINEMA 4D and After Effects. In this course, we'll walk through an entire VFX shot from conception through delivery. I'll start by showing you how to collect reference material from the web and create a mock-up using Photoshop, then show you how to use The Foundry CAMERATRACKER plugin for After Effects to track the camera movement in our shot.
We'll see how to create a CG flag using cloth simulations inside of CINEMA 4D and end with compositing that flag back into our shot in After Effects. While this course will focus on creating a photorealistic cloth simulation, we'll discuss a wide variety of 3D and compositing techniques that you will be able to use in many of your own projects. Now let's get started with Visual Effects Techniques: Creating a CG Flag with CINEMA 4D and After Effects.
