Character Simulation – Master Dynamic FX with This Pro Training Series
Introduction to the Character Simulation Training Series
This Character Simulation – Video Training Series offers a professional deep dive into the art and science of character dynamics in 3D production. Whether you're aiming for film-quality VFX, stylized animation, or real-time simulation for games, this course equips you with everything from cloth and hair physics to advanced muscle and soft body rigging.
Perfect for artists using Maya, Houdini, Blender, or Marvelous Designer, this training covers both technical setups and artistic direction — helping you deliver dynamic, believable performances every time.
➺ What You'll Learn in This Series
✔ Realistic cloth simulation (Marvelous / nCloth / Vellum)
✔ Hair and fur dynamics with XGen, Ornatrix, or Blender Hair
✔ Character-based soft body physics & jiggle rigging
✔ Collision detection, pin constraints, and body binding
✔ Sim layering and caching for animation pipelines
✔ Simulating wind, gravity, inertia, and follow-through
✔ Exporting simulations for game engines like Unreal / Unity
Course Breakdown: What’s Inside
➺ 1. Introduction to Character-Based Dynamics
✔ Overview of physics solvers & simulation pipelines
