“Through the cave entrance, the wind crept in and blew over its coarse fur, causing undulating waves that spread across the dense surface like a field of wheatgrass in early autumn. Sensing a foul presence in the air, the creature tensed its corded muscles, the skin tightening and bulging beneath the thick pelage. It lumbered forward, irritated that something or someone had disturbed its slumber.”

Ok great! Now put that in the movie!

But how? 

Well… with CFX! That’s how!!!

Explosions, fire, disintegration, magic, destruction, water, animation, lighting… all are essential elements that help bring stories to the screen. But when it comes to characters and truly bringing something to life… that’s the realm of the Character FX (CFX) artist. If you want fur to properly interact with your environment, if you want muscles to flex and jiggle with your animations, if you want an audience to BELIEVE that your character is truly inhabiting its three-dimensional space… well, look no further than this workshop. 

Through 26 hours of instruction (30 if you’re a Legendary kinda person 😉), CFX artist Milen Piskuliyski will guide you through the entire process of adding that extra 10% to your animated character.

No patch of fur is left un-groomed, no muscle is left un-pumped. This is the CFX workshop you’ve been waiting for.
