## Course Overview

Taught by Armin Kazlauskas, Lead Trainer at Notch, the course will spread over two days, and here's what will be covered:

### DAY 1

• Introduction to Builder: an in-depth walkthrough of the UI and workflow tools.
• Video Compositing & VFX: adjusting the viewport, working with post-FX nodes, video nulls and green screen keying
• Lights: working with basic lights, deferred rendering, shadow casting, area lights, environment maps, volumetric lighting, using skyboxes and working with reflections.
• Materials: basic material understanding, using separate material nodes, texture mapping and material editing inside of Builder.
• Modifiers: workshop showcasing the use of math and continuous Modifiers, including some nice tips, tricks and best practices.
• Particles: workshop teaching you how to set up a particle scene using
• Emitters, Affectors, 3D particle trails, IMAG emitting and post-FX.
• File formats: we will explore the various 3D file formats and showcase the differences and benefits of each supported format (like .c4d, .fbx, .abc, .obj and .lwo)
• Exporting: learning how to export videos (and the various options available), setting up a project for standalone EXE export, exporting to media servers for use as blocks, and network editing.
• Tips & Tricks: we finish the course with a list of personal tips and tricks from Armin, including links to his favorite online resources.

### DAY 2

• More advanced topics, building on the knowledge gained on day 1. While this day is available as a separate purchase, we strongly recommend you do both days to follow the flow of the training (and to refresh your memory!)
• Cloners: Setting up Cloner systems, using Affectors with cloners, optimizing cloner scenes to run well in real-time.
• Particle Systems: Using particles as part of a larger scene, using physics with particles, connecting particles to deformers, cloners and fields.
• Deformers: Setting up Deformers, how best to apply them, how to increase the dynamics of a scene using Deformer fall offs and other tips and tricks.
• Perception Neuron: Workshop where we apply everything we've learned so far to the Perception Neuron motion capture system, including calibration and demonstrations.
