During this masterclass Michael Cauchi will show and tell everything you need to create a great looking groom for animation or vfx pipelines. He will be using Maya and XGen, however much of what will be discussed is easy to apply to any groom tool you choose to use.

They work on the spectacular scenes and stunning photoreal sequences that make movies truly mind-blowing. Animating everything from lifelike fur, to dynamic crowd scenes, to larger than life destruction sequences, they are scene builders – not just shot makers – with a direct line to the director’s creative vision. MPC Film’s recent movies include The Lion King, Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Detective Pikachu.
