Welcome to the effects tutorials page!

Want to get into film effects? Or further your understanding in this field?

I have collected an invaluable archive of film VFX techniques and industry secrets for you on this site. This is a product of over 5 years in the field and growing. Learning from some of the best in the industry along the way. My field is film effects and lighting but I specialise in particle effects in maya, so my site will mainly reflect that. But I want to cover alot of other important material here too, including nCloth, FluidFX, mel scripting, renderman and image based lighting (IBL).

I’m still adding more to this site regularly. But at the moment its a full effects course already. With forum support for the material

Note: you dont have to log on to this site (ie wordpress) even to see the free tutes, (or even the non free tutes). Unless you want to leave comments ofcourse. But the majority of the online information here will require a once off subscription fee of just US $49 dollars. This will get you into the entire site with support for your questions related to the material online or not. When you click on a ‘private’ tutorial thats the only time you need a username and password.
