How to LEARN VFX & CG in 2019 (Allan McKay)
The most frequent question I get asked from VFX artists starting out is How to learn VFX? Or "how to learn CG & VFX" Where to start learning VFX? In this video I share some tips about 3D and Animation softwares such as 3Ds Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, and zBrush. I also talk about how to start learning and retain information.
If you take a moment to subscribe I will be sharing lots of advice on how to level up your career, and get out of it what you put in. As well as sharing plenty of tutorials and training on animation, rigging, modeling, texturing, render engines, compositing, keying, tracking, rotoscoping, production hardware, behind the scenes as well as visual effects tutorials, particles, fluids, and more.

I hope you enjoyed how to learn CG & VFX
By the way - wanted to mention two things:

I also have a new 18 hour FREE Live Action Visual Effects City Destruction Class - check out www.VFXCOURSE.com which I just posted this week. If either of these help you (which I hope they do!)
Thanks guys

I swear to God you're one of the best, if not THE BEST vfx teacher/guide/mentor there is on youtube! Thanks for everything!!

@AllanMcKay 5 лет назад

That means a lot thank you Eric - definitely let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Again, thank you

@MRAstudioChannel 5 лет назад

Well said.

@ELiang-ru1hb 5 лет назад

@@AllanMcKay You're certainly most welcome :) Also, I'm kinda decent (ish) in modeling using Max but I'm absolutely abysmal in texturing my models. I would absolutely love it if you could help me to improve my texturing skills. Thanks again for everything you do. You're an inspiration for me and all aspiring artists. Cheers!!

@augustinonedo2438 3 года назад

Much thanks for the insight. I'm happy i already do some of the things you talked about which means i am on the right path. The biggest pick for me is setting deadlines for knowing, practicing and attaining goals on a particular topic. Thanks for Sharing

This is ridiculously helpful. Some of this I learned the hard way but you opened my eyes to the things that have caused me to go in circles. You're great, keep doing what you're doing

@ToddJohnsonWeddings 5 лет назад

Allan, this was perfect timing! I was feeling bummed and demotivated, but to hear your story, my first thoughts is, "well, I certainly have no excuse, I'm on this!!" Thank you!

@AllanMcKay 5 лет назад

Kick some butt brother! Yeah we all get into a slump here and there, best thing to think about is where you want to be a month from today - and bumming around isn't going to get you there. Best of luck Todd :)

Thanks Alan...well regarding your Qs: i would check every possible resource then there will be one that i would stick to even maybe more than one or two ..no matter , also as a rigger you have situations that cant be alwyas recorded ..in other words : you got yourself there you get yrself out of it , may be asking help over Social media groups or something ...i would do what ever to know what i need no matter . I would also update knowledge and knowing current industry standards ....

Even before seeing this video, I did not know what I was going to do in the 3d world, I was confused and wanted to learn everything, but now I know I have and should focus on a specific subject, which will be 3D max modeling, thank you very much for share your knowledge, i hope english is good, i translated the text in google translator, because i speak portuguese.

@vazak11 5 лет назад

Great stuff as always, as to my methods of learning, I am very much a "Do it by trying" type, so I usually follow video examples along, then start, then restart until I get it wright, then try other project, then come back later and try to do the same thing without needing to follow the initial video/guideline specifically.

@vivekranga9290 5 лет назад

Hi Allan, Thanks for the great video once again. I have a question related to choosing the right software and tools. I am Technical Artist/ Generalist working in the automotive industry and in my day to day work I need to solve different problems and use different tools. What is your mindset from Technical Director's point of view, how do you organize your time, how do you know what to learn in your free time, since there are a lot of tools used in this specific role (2D, 3D tool, GLSL shader/Python scripts?

@JackiedFX 5 лет назад

Thanks for everything Allan!! I have some question for you.... 1) Why do you think agency are using FumeFX over some other plugins like Phoenix or Krakatoa? 2) Unfortunately i think TP has really few tutorial in internet (even Cebas YT page seems to be more or less a showroom for stuff instead of a collection of tutorial). Are there some basic to middle tutorials in internet?? 3) Is it faster and easier right now to stick with Destruction or Smoke\Fire to land the first job?? (they are both really interesting but i think it's easier to start with only one........) 4) Is really important to present a reel that is focused also on the compositing if I'm trying to land a job as "the guy that destroy stuff"? Learning compositin > Fixing Destruction\Smoke ?? ... i think i have no more question right now. And again, thanks Allan!!

@@AllanMcKay Yes it will be a good thing. Start with something simple and understandable with all the context, the goals and how to do it. example, > create an object who will be destroyed "SIMPLE STUFF" (For real use on a movie i mean like a 3d teapot into a real cofea table in mov ) > destroy it > get the final breking scene (parts, ...) > creating pyro, fire, ... > finish the scene inside After Effects adding pyro, fire ... > color / levels > done This will be super helpful Best regards from France.
