Block 3 is currently learning Digital Fusion which has become standard application in the visual effects field. In Block 3 students learn how to composite elements together, create particle effects in Fusion, track objects using Boujo and more.

The current Block 3 class has just finished their most recent project, Thermal Scans. Given just a background plate and 2 videos of people, they need to recreate the effect of looking through thermal goggles at a building and tracking the people inside it.

"When you first see these kinds of things they look really complicated, but after Dave West broke it down for us it was a lot easier," said student Derek Smith.

Block 1 has just finished their first hard surface modeling assignment, and their model, the Thunderbird 3 from the old television show Thunderbirds! Students were required to model the ship as accurately as possible and then composite it into a real life photo.

Student Scudder "White Pony" Kidwell had this to say "At first I was really overwhelmed after seeing the rocket, but after learning how to break it down into simple shapes like boxes and spheres, it was a lot easier."
