Second Life and Matrix veteran Karl Stiefvater returns with his second CGWorkshops online training course. This 8 week online, fully mentored workshop was created as a direct result of requests from Karl's previous students. Karl says, "We'll jump into the deep waters of shader creation for the two most popular rendering engines: Renderman and mental ray. We will see how many concepts transfer from one to the other easily - and we'll see where each differs. We will cover a wide range of shader types and uses, including: surface, light, volume, displacement and lens shaders - illumination, procedural texturing, raytracing, HDRI lighting, ray marching, and more."

Karl also offers workshops students the option of classroom time in Second Life, and one-on-one Skype worksessions. Starts 30 Jan Enrolling now
