Virtual Production 101

Virtual Production 101

What is a virtual studio? Who is involved? Learn the basics of virtual production and get certified in the tools teams use to create mind-blowing content, fast. This module contains everything you need to familiarize yourself with basic virtual production workflows.

START LEARNING

Source Control 101

The second certification includes three modules on source control. Learn how source control addresses collaboration challenges, unites teams around the globe, and is an essential component for every virtual production pipeline. Review the advantages, basic terminology/concepts, and get started using the tools.

Start Learning

Creatives

For artists, get in-depth walkthroughs of 3D modeling, texturing, sounds, and music creation software. Learn how to collaborate on binary files with team members using creation tools like Maya, 3DS Max, and Unreal Engine.

Coders

Work in parallel with developers around the globe, without slowing down. Discover how to automate diffing and merging of files and implement functionality for error fixing. Dive into integrations with stage controlling applications, like Switchboard and StageApp.

Managers

Virtual production projects involve even more complexity than traditional filmmaking. Set up your work planning tools — like ShotGrid — to work smarter and keep your remote team members aligned from previs to post.

DevOps

Automation should be… automatic. DevOps is the final stage to mastering your workflow. Prepare and configure your servers and Ureal Game engine, leverage containerization, and optimize your entire virtual production pipeline.
