Interview with
VFX Artist, Kisong Lee
Question.01
How does the curriculum of this class reflect your unique strengths?
My strength is the ability to balance the artistic sense and practical techniques for creating effects. Focusing on such aspects, I made artistically high-quality exercises and designed a curriculum that makes the work process easier by helping you better understand the techniques.
Question.02
What is the most important point that differentiates this class from your previous VFX classes?
A major difference is that this class focuses more on creating gameplay environments than on creating VFX resources. It also covers utilizing Blueprints to make interactive effects, an advantage of using Niagara, and helps you make a more competitive portfolio as a game VFX artist.
Question.03
Who would you like to recommend this class to?
This class will be useful for anyone who wants to learn VFX and make a portfolio of it. I especially recommend it to those who want to design environments similar to actual gameplay, use Niagara particles in interactive ways, or are struggling with learning Blueprints. It'd be an unrealistic goal to master everything about Blueprints through a short course like this, but the exercises of this class all focus on what's really required for VFX artists and making full use of it.
