This is a free workshop that will be on Gnomon’s Livestream. It’s always helpful to see seasoned and active professionals doing things. There could be some great tips, tricks, and workflows applicable to Blender. It should be interesting!
If you miss the live event, it looks like you can still watch it later since they have other live events posted that have already ended.

To date, he has contributed to effects projects at MPC, Luma Pictures, Psyop, Digital Domain, Sony Pictures Imageworks, Blur Studio, Pixomondo, and Zoic Studios. As well as sharing how he got started on his VFX journey, Wayne will reveal his pro tips, as well as the tried-and-tested solutions, optimizations, requirements and workflows that are needed to be successful in the industry as an FX TD.
