Modern VFX characterizes an entire industry that works with "special effects". Become an Animator and VFX Artist at Futuregames! As an animator & VFX artist, you are responsible for creating movements and special effects for two and three-dimensional graphics. You also need to know how to plan and implement an animation project from idea to finished product. VFX is a broad term and an abbreviation of the English word “visual effects”, whose tradition arose above all in the film industry. Modern VFX is considerably broader and characterizes an entire industry that works with “special effects”, i.e. everything from CGI (computer-generated graphics), compositing (image processing) and motion capture (computer-processed motion recordings), to the various tools and software needed to create it. At a specialized level, it is usually one of these areas that you work with.
