This is a very good course for understanding basic vfx compositing pipeline, I have learned quite a lot from here. I just wish that the mentor explained about VRAY's Environment GI Environment setup.

I thought it was an easy tutorial to follow and direct to the point but it could have been longer and with more examples.

the explanation is very clear and goes through the full workflow of the VFX pipeline. easy to understand or people already knows something about VFX while for completely beginners they should make more pause to get a better understanding, but I really wished to have such a great tutorial many years earlier when really had no idea which softwares to use and which sections to go through in order to accomplish a VFX shot.
