This course introduces the Computer Animation VFX student to the visual effects process of integrating computer-generated elements with live action footage. Early assignments integrate pre-existing computer generated elements with live action content. Subsequent assignments introduce advanced texture-mapping, rendering and camera tracking techniques.
