If you did drop the course, you and your instructor should review this FAQ -> Why can't I add another user to my Blackboard course?

You must have no previous enrollment in the course for your instructor to add you. NOTE: If you were enrolled in the course previously, the automated process has likely disabled you.See this FAQ -> How do I add a teaching assistant, second instructor, or guest to my Blackboard course? Your instructor must add you to the course.I am waitlisted or TA for the Blackboard course: You must re-enroll and allow the automated process to add you back to Blackboard. NOTE: If you dropped the course, your instructor cannot add you to Blackboard.In this case, contact your instructor to see if you are enrolled in the course.

Introducing - my FXPHD Course - 10 weeks of mental.I changed my schedule, but I don't see it in Blackboard.

These classes may also adress issues that has come up in the forum as needed.Д¬heck it out! I am very excited to do this class, and I welcome you all to join FXPHD! Technical topics such as sampling, flicker elimination, memory management. Just because the button is still there doesn't mean you should push it.Д¬ompositing - How stuff that comes out of the renderer goes together, and what can (and should) and can't (and shouldn't) be delegated to compositing.

What Not To Do - Computer Graphics is full of old 'traditional' techniques that has stuck around for many years, but that are in conflict with proper physical rendering, and should be avoided. Interaction between CG and the Real World - Using the production library shaders to seamlessly integrate CG objects in real-world background plates with reflections, bounce light, shadows, etc.

Using the mental ray skin shader for realistic characters. Learning to see the world, so that one can translate it to CG. Materials I - Using the physically based Arch&Design material to simulate real world surfaces. Understanding what film and digital cameras do to the image before you even see it. Understanding how light gathers and reflects off a surface.Д¬ameras - Understanding how a real world cameras function map to their computer graphics counterparts. Understanding how real-world lights map to computer graphics lights. Lighting - Understanding the quality and quantity of light.

Shows how the math we apply to pixels can break, and how, if we are not careful, two plus two can end up ten. Light - What is a pixel? The units of light, and how they map to the RGB values we encounter every day. The ten classes will be rougly divided like this (subject to change based on feedback): The course will be performed using the 3ds Max application, but most things apply to Maya and Softimage as well. As it is a hands-on course in using Mental Ray to do these things, it will start with a fundamental treatment of everything from light and pixels through to cameras, response curves and compositing, as well as 'learning to see'.

This course will teach techniques and concepts for rendering realistic, physically based CG elements in a visual effects context (i.e. (If you want the FULL FXPHD orientation video (from which the above is my 'segment'), it can be downloaded here.) (If you sign up as a new user, and there is a refferal field, fill in 'MasterZap'. Also, a freebie 'Background Fundamentals' class is always included, with all sorts of topics. But the cool thing is that you get to see the first two classes of each course anyway, so you can spend your first two weeks of the term browsing around before you make up your mind to pick a (set of) class(es). The standard FXPHD deal is that you pay for a package where you get to sign up for three of their courses. Note that these courses are not free, but they are not extremely expensive either - and considering the classes run for ten weeks with full participation of the professor (that's me, in this case) in the forums for questions about the class, it's really a pretty good bargain, IMHO. Yay!ДЇXPHD is an online training site run by Mike Seymour, John Montgomery, Jeff Heusser and friends (who also are the people behind FXGUIDE, a VFX oriented news site I suggest you also check out if you havn't already) In the January term of FXPHD, I will be teaching a mental ray course named ' Production oriented rendering techniques with mental ray'.

It has been in discussion for some time (I think I may have mentioned it before), but now, it has finally come to pass: Welcome to the new year, I hope the holidays were nice to you all.
