SubscribeThe Visual Effects (VFX) course is for those interested in learning the basics of creating effects for video games, such as smoke, fire, explosions as well as preparing static and animated textures, effects based on 3D meshes, and smoke simulations for them. You’ll gain lots of valuable knowledge and have the chance to be part of a team of like-minded people who are experienced visual effects artists. Then, under the guidance of your mentors, you’ll put together your own VFX portfolio using the approaches employed at Wargaming. Get ready to convert your theoretical knowledge into practical application, prove yourself, and become a part of Wargaming!
Please note that course participants are responsible for having sufficient hardware and software to be able to carry out tasks related to the course. You will need to run smoothly Unreal Engine 5 and make simulations and rendering in Houdini.
