WHAT IS THIS WORKSHOP?

The Introduction to Post-Production (After Effect and 3ds max) in design visualization has a specified framework to provide GSD Students with senses of digital representation in their design by ...
(1) understanding common and holistic work flow for post-production with After Effect and 3ds max(Vray),
(2) learning optimized tips and Know-hows for animation of effecting and editing in After Effect,
(3) expanding the knowledge on the basis of topic-orient examples.

To achieve it in the given time, the workshop can be divided into ...
(1) After Effect’s interface(Controlling view, Full-down menu, and Panel),
(2) importing image, sequence image, video,
(3) general control (animation, editing, effecting and so on),
(4) advanced functions(motion tracking or Stabilizing ...),
(5) advanced effecting using element rendering(3ds max and After Effect)
(6) use case(real work projects)

So that you will grasp ideas when it comes to visualize and represent your design as forms of images or videos.

For those who have no background about this topic, here is my suggestions
(1) attend the workshop without any pressure
(2) watch what the workshop is( just like watching movie or film because there are several magic and playful examples)
(3) memo what you are interest in for presentations of design in the future.
(4) with your problems, come to CODE WITHOUT FRONTIERS(CWF) which happen two times in a week.(we will announce the time and room by the gsd-fellow-student e-mail during the semester.)

WHO YOU ARE

This workshop is for those who are familiar with 3D software such CAD program as 3ds max, Maya, Rhino to develop an advanced 3D visualization skill, or those who want to understand the process of 3D visualization in Urban, Architecture, and Landscape architect representation as a form of a still image or a video.

OBJECTIVITY

* Maintaining quality of visualization
* Maximizing working performance in given situations
* Leaning different types of the visualization processes in Urban, Architecture, and Landscape Architecture domains
* Understanding and expanding knowledge to other software in the digital environment
* Prepare for advanced visualization

SOFTWARE

* Aftereffect, Rhino, 3ds max, VRay, Photoshop, Media Encoder, plugins, and scripts
* You need to install several plugins for 3ds max and Rhino Grasshopper
