Beginner-Friendly Realtime VFX Ressources

[Karha]

Hey everyone

I wanted to thank this wonderful community. The invaluable resources on this forum, especially the posts by Shannon (Berke) McSheehan & Simon Trümpler, have helped me grow tremendously as a VFX artist. Thank you all so much!

To continue the virtuous circle of knowledge sharing, I’m creating Realtime VFX tutorials and I’m gathering links to all my free tutorials and breakdowns in this topic to make them easily accessible for newcomers.

Feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions or feedback !

I’ve been meaning (and planning) on updating the Getting Started in Real Time VFX post, and I’ll be sure to add a mention or link(s) to your tutorials as well It’s wonderful people like you that have helped make vfx much more accessible and easier to get into for newer people, and anyone looking to just get a better understanding of the subject. Thanks so much for putting all the effort into this!

It’s been tough finding the time lately, unfortunately. A few other people have reached out about including other resources in the 2.0 version, and I think it will take a full weekend to get everything together and polish it up
