Thanks a lot! I look ahead to beginning! Would you recommend ideas as a watch first or the newbie movies? 
Hey Pixamy and welcome to the group!
I do recommend beginning with the “ideas” video by Jason/VFX Apprentice. These fundamentals will enable you make higher decisions whenever you begin creating results in any engine. It is because the belongings you’ll study in that collection are transferable to many issues down the road (it doesn’t matter what engine or model you might be doing). I’d additionally advocate coming again to the collection after you already created some extra results. You’ll deepen the understanding of the matters extra after getting a really feel for a way issues assemble.
Aside from that I recommend to leap in and create an impact in a engine of you alternative. The primary few results haven’t any have to be good and this shouldn’t be the purpose at first. Simply get snug with the instruments and with some settings. Be taught from errors and you will note an enchancment quicker than attempting to make the “good” impact on you first attempt.
Trying ahead to see some results from you sooner or later!

We’ve tried to determine that out earlier than. Although it’s a pinned matter, it doesn’t keep on the high of the web page as soon as a consumer has considered it. There have been some updates to the web site because it was final mentioned although, so I’ll test with Keith and see if there’s now an answer or workaround for that concern.

However you’re proper, as soon as I signed in it bought pushed out by all the brand new matters and didn’t seem on the high anymore

Presently I’m learning for VFX at a faculty this 12 months and figuring out what to study earlier might assist me shortly! Thanks!
Undoubtedly getting began in a recreation engine and getting conversant in its particle system is the highest precedence. Constructing particle programs and specializing in bettering timing and layering can be the subsequent largest precedence, as that can take the longest to start understanding the subjective “really feel” of an excellent impact.
Strive to not lean to closely on studying supplies/shaders first, because the most loopy shader on the planet gained’t make up for an impact’s timing not trying proper or feeling proper.
Sure! That is nice, thanks. good
