Phoenix Advanced Large-Scale Water FX Course by RedefineFX

OUR TRAINING HAS BEEN FEATURED BY

Officially Recognized by Creators of Phoenix FD

Why this course?

I made the course I wish had existed when I started learning Phoenix FD. If I could go back, I would take a course like this in a heartbeat, instead of spending the last few months figuring out how to do all of these effects through trial and error. Change a setting, run the sim, see how it works, repeat. Over and over, until I learned:

• exactly how this plugin works
• what each and every setting does & how it influences the simulation
• the common rookie mistakes & pitfalls to avoid
• how to stop my simulations from taking forever to run
• why it's taking days to render instead of hours
• why the foam is flickering and/or disappearing
• why the ship isn't interacting with the water as expected

What will I get from this course?

Go from enthusiast to PRO at setting up your own high-quality water simulations. Level up your reel and portfolio, wow your clients with premium visuals & start charging more for your work today. The transformation you will go through as you take the course will give you the tools and confidence to set-up a variety of unique water simulations for your own reel, give you very cool stuff to post on Instagram, wow your friends and take your work to a whole new level.

Why this skillset?

There are so many opportunities and so few people that can do this type of work, some examples include:

• Music videos & VFX for films and TV shows
• Concert visuals & Tradeshow displays
• Documentaries
• The shipping & oil industries
• Luxury product videos (yachts, ships)
• Waterproof products
• Commercials involving water, such as roofs, basement flood protection, rain guards...)
• and much more

Why RedefineFX?

RedefineFX is not only a Chaos Group Certified Training Center, we are the first-ever, and currently the only, institution authorized to teach Phoenix FD. We teach over 27,000 people online how to go from beginner to pro at creating high-end visual effects.

Why Phoenix FD?

• Used in production on major motion pictures & TV Shows such as Game of Thrones
• Phoenix FD is the only fluid dynamics plugin that allows you to create water simulations with splash and foam entirely within 3Ds Max

Tens of millions of liquid, splash, mist, and foam particles mixing together, handled using just one powerful tool.

A QUICK WORD ABOUT THE PROJECT FILES

The scene files (compatible with Max 2016 and higher) for all shown effects are included with the course. I had to exclude the 3D models per their license requirements, but all you have to do is import your own 3D model and hit "Start Simulation" and get a finished effect. If someone were to hire my studio to set up all of the 16+ effects that I've built for this course, I would charge them upwards of $30,000. I was told by an FX artist that I should charge for the project files separately, because he would pay just to get his hands on those. Many people have told me they have used my project files directly on well-paid commercial work, and that it saved them last minute on studio projects. By enrolling in this course, you get instant access to all of these scenes.
