FXPHD – Mathematics For Visual Effects & Design

Mathematics

 

Mathematics For Visual Effects & Design : This course aims to provide a basis for Maths for the Artist that says “If I’d known Maths would have been central to effects and animation I would have paid attention in school!” Mike Seymour works through the major areas of maths that are useful to understand for visual effects and animation. This really is a maths course, teaching you both actual maths and the principles of areas of maths in more advanced areas. The aim is to equip you with the tools you need and to demystify the jargon – so you can understand the principles and approaches we use maths for everyday in production and post.
