Description
If you are new to Discreet combustion, or moving over to use this powerful animation and effects software from another effects package,
then this is the book for you. It gives you all you need to know to get up and running with combustion, fast! It includes an overview
of all the key features you need when starting out with simple and concise details on how to use them and how best to integrate the power
of combustion into your workflow.
An ideal Discreet combustion primer for computer graphics students or professionals with some prior
experience in the field of computer graphics. Learn how to do many familiar concepts such as animating with paint and layers of video
specifically in combustion. This guide will provide a jump-start into the major features of the software without going too in-depth about
every single button in the program. Through the use of various samples and screen captures, you will learn why an artist would use one
tool over another in addition to just what the different buttons do.
Topics covered would include disciplines for motion graphics artists,
broadcast designers, 3d animators, web artists, compositors and visual effects artists working for video and film based productions.
People within the computer graphics industry of all sorts can take advantage of combustion because it is both a stand-alone application
and also a bridge to several different disciplines including video editing, 3d animation, matte painting, 2d illustration and web design.
Audience
Computer graphics students or professionals with some prior experience in the field of computer graphics who want to learn combustion
or have a handy reference to refer to when using it. Useful for motion graphics artists, broadcast designers, 3d animators, web artists,
compositors and visual effects artists working for video and film based productions.
