Hollywood comes to us to stay ahead. Now you can too.

The World’s First Bootcamp for the Latest AI VFX Techniques.

Traditional VFX courses are bloated, expensive, and often teach tools that are quickly becoming obsolete. This course is different. AI VFX from Curious Refuge is the first program built from the ground up to teach you the latest AI techniques being used by real studios and independent creators today.

You’ll learn how to streamline your creative process, unlock new visual possibilities, and stay ahead of a rapidly evolving industry. But this isn’t just about learning tools—we’re here to help you build a portfolio, connect with top creators, and discover real career opportunities in the new era of VFX.

What You’ll Learn In AI VFX

Compositing

Bring your shots to life by seamlessly blending AI-generated elements with real-world footage. You’ll learn how to composite explosions, characters, environments, and more using cutting-edge AI tools—without the need for traditional VFX software.

Live Action + AI Generated Footage

Discover when to shoot live action, when to use AI-generated content, and how to combine them for cinematic results. You’ll master techniques for integration, lighting consistency, and visual storytelling across mediums.

AI Generated Environments

Learn how to design and refine entire worlds using AI. From sci-fi cityscapes to natural landscapes, you’ll use look development techniques to ensure your environments match your film’s style, tone, and lighting—making everything feel cohesive and intentional.

Simulating Natural Elements

Creating realistic fire, smoke, water, and destruction effects used to take days—sometimes weeks. Now, you’ll learn how to simulate these natural elements using AI tools that dramatically speed up the process while delivering cinematic results.

Motion Capture (MoCap)

Traditional animation and rigging are time-consuming and technical. In this course, you’ll use AI-powered motion capture and rigging tools to bring characters to life—fast. Say goodbye to tedious keyframes and hello to streamlined, high-quality animation.

Traditional VFX vs AI VFX Pipeline

Understand how AI transforms the traditional VFX pipeline. You’ll learn how to use AI facial capture, lip-sync, and animation tools to give your characters authentic emotion and timing—no more robotic or soulless outputs. This is VFX made smarter.

AI Look Development

Learn how to use AI-assisted grading tools to match scenes, create cinematic color palettes, and apply consistent visual tones across your project. You’ll explore workflows that replicate the look of major films—without needing DaVinci Resolve expertise.

Camera tracking and match moving

Discover how to use AI tools to track live-action footage and integrate digital elements with realistic motion and perspective. You’ll cover planar tracking, 3D camera matching, and how to stabilize or augment scenes with generated content.

AI-Driven Crowd Simulation

Use generative tools to create realistic crowds, background actors, and scene population—perfect for action shots, stadiums, battle sequences, or urban settings. You’ll learn how to populate a shot believably without a single day of casting.
