Hero CG Secrets – Black Panther VFX

Issue 117 of 3D Artist is out now!

Pouncing onto our screens this year for the first time was the marvellous Black Panther, and now you can learn about all the CG techniques that Luma Pictures and Scanline VFX used to create *that* epic car chase scene, the CG Black Panther suit and the world of Wakanda.

We’ve also spoken to medical animation pros Random42 about what it takes to achieve stunning yet scientifically accurate visualisations and have launched into space with The Beyond to talk to VFX supervisor-turned-director HaZ Dulull about his first feature film. And why not hear about how Platige Image created awesome cinematics for the new Total War: Three Kingdoms game?

To boost your sculpting workflow to the next level, why not take a look at Vincent Dérozier’s innovative Substance Designer sculpting tutorial where you can learn to manipulate volumes. Or you can learn about the science of clouds with Houdini and Greg Barta, or render arch vis landscapes using SketchUp and Lumion.

Plus you can master Maya blend shapes to make your face rigs more efficient, use Phoenix FD to create awesome water simulations, learn to 3D print videogame assets from Dota 2 and much more.

Finally, don’t miss our special sci-fi textures pack with 77 incredible textures free for every reader!

Enjoy the issue!
