Creating Hi-tech Projectile Weaponry In NUKE
Learn to use distortions, light manipulations, and chromatic aberration to create a futuristic energy gunfire for your sci-fi composites. Software required: NUKE 8X.
What you'll learn
Learn to use distortions, light manipulations, and chromatic aberration to create a futuristic energy gunfire for your sci-fi composites. In this course, we will learn how to use distortions, light manipulations, and chromatic aberration to create a futuristic energy gunfire for your sci-fi composites. We will simulate heat and light displacement from our weapon fire. The techniques shown can be built upon to create very unique and personal effects. By the end of this course you should be able to create the technologically advanced weapons we see in all the science fiction films and TV shows. Software required: NUKE 8X.
