01
Track
Use camera tracking, match moving and stabilisation logic to prepare shots for CG and compositing.
VFX Pipeline
Build the shot from invisible fixes to impossible worlds.
Visual effects is not just one software skill. It is a connected production pipeline where tracking, clean-up, rotoscopy, CG, lighting, simulation and compositing come together to make the final shot believable.
02
Roto
Separate subjects, create masks, clean plates and isolate elements for advanced visual effects work.
03
Build
Create set extensions, matte paintings, 3D assets, lighting and rendered elements for the shot.
04
Simulate
Explore particles, dynamics, smoke, fire, destruction and Houdini-style procedural effects thinking.
05
Composite
Blend live action and CG using Nuke-style node workflows, color, depth and final shot polish.
Programs
VFX courses shaped around production departments.
The structure below highlights the official MAAC visual-effects direction with advanced VFX, VFX Plus and specialist skills arranged for students comparing career pathways.
ADVFX Plus
Advanced Visual Effects training for students who want a deep VFX pipeline: compositing, rotoscopy, match moving, CG lighting, matte painting, simulations, rendering and final shot finishing.
- Nuke-based compositing and live-action integration
- Maya, Houdini and 3D production workflow direction
- Camera tracking, match moving, set extension and matte painting
- Portfolio-focused shot breakdowns for film, OTT and advertising work
Compositing and Shot Finishing
Focus on the practical skills that make visual effects believable: rotoscopy, paint, keying, camera tracking, color matching and final composite polish.
- Nuke, After Effects, Mocha and Fusion-style workflows
- Roto, cleanup, chroma key and tracking practice
CG, Lighting and Simulations
Explore 3D integration through lighting, rendering, particles, dynamics, digital environments and effects that support dramatic screen storytelling.
- Maya and Houdini production direction
- Smoke, fire, particles, destruction and rendered passes
What You Learn
A craft map for serious VFX training.
Instead of repeating the same course-card layout, this section works like a VFX department board: each block represents a different skill cluster students build through the program.
Rotoscopy
Create precise masks and mattes for complex live-action shots, object isolation and layered compositing.
Match Moving
Track camera movement so 3D elements can sit naturally inside live-action footage.
Digital Matte Painting
Build believable environments, set extensions and impossible locations for cinematic shots.
Compositing
Blend live footage, CG renders, passes, color and atmospherics into final VFX shots.
CG Lighting
Understand light direction, shadows, reflections and render passes for seamless integration.
FX Simulation
Explore procedural effects like particles, smoke, fire, water, destruction and magical energy.
Color and Finish
Match plates, refine contrast, add depth and polish the final look of VFX-heavy scenes.
Showreel Shots
Package your best work as breakdowns that communicate process, craft and final output.
Career Direction

FAQ
Quick answers before you enquire.
These FAQs are written around the VFX course references and the practical questions students usually ask before joining.
The main focus is MAAC's official visual effects direction, especially ADVFX Plus and VFX Plus style learning across compositing, rotoscopy, tracking, 3D integration, simulations and final shot finishing.
The page highlights tools and workflows commonly connected with MAAC VFX references, including Nuke, Maya, Houdini, After Effects, Mocha, Fusion and 3D Equalizer-style tracking workflows.
No. The content is positioned for film, OTT, television, advertising, games and digital content where live action, CG and compositing skills are needed.
Students can aim to build shot breakdowns, roto and paint samples, tracking tests, matte-paint environments, CG integration shots, FX simulation clips and final compositing showreel pieces.
