This course gives artists the tools to integrate AI into real workflows—without losing creative control or sacrificing quality. From clean plates and relighting to upscaling and roto assistance, it’s designed to solve the actual problems VFX artists face every day.

Along the way, we’ve learned a lot too.
Putting this course together showed us just how powerful ComfyUI can be when paired with the mindset of a compositor—not just a prompt. And just how much clarity the industry needs around these tools.

Doug Hogan took that challenge head-on, crafting a 15-module journey that balances theory with real production application.

What you'll gain:
✅ A clear understanding of how generative AI fits into VFX
✅ Hands-on workflows using ControlNets, LoRAs, IPAdapters, and more
✅ Exportable results that drop into your comp—fast
✅ A scalable skillset that supports you in an AI-driven future

This course is built for artists who want more control, not just more tech.

How do you get fire that looks real, without faking motion blur, cheat lighting, or simulation artifacts?

“We filmed the Molotov cocktails practically instead of using simulations to ensure they look 100% real and will fit into live-action footage seamlessly.”
– Zac VanHoy, Asset Development Supervisor

You film it for real. Every chaotic detail.

Our Molotov Cocktail Collection was designed with one goal in mind: to give VFX artists fire elements that just work in comp—without spending hours trying to make CG look believable.

What makes this collection different:
- Shot practically, with natural motion blur baked in
- Captures fuel spray, glass shatter, ignition, and real heat flicker
- Multiple throws, bottle types, and camera angles to fit different shot setups
- Filmed against clean, blacked-out surfaces for key-friendly assets

There’s realism you can simulate. And then there’s realism you capture.

If your team is tired of wrestling with fire in post, this collection was built for you.
🧨 NOW 40% OFF TILL NOVEMBER 28.
