Within the last several years, volumetric effects utilizing procedural modelling and fluid simulation have become standard within the industry for adding drama and action to visual effects sequences.
In this workshop, Will Earl will show various techniques for using volumetrics effects in RenderMan to help with both atmospheric and FX elements - covering look-development, lighting and compositing.
