The course consists of nine video lectures presented over 14 weeks. You can choose between two ways to learn: subscription or critiqued sessions. With subscription, you can watch the video lessons at your own pace, switch courses as often as you like, and access all Schoolism webinars. With critiqued sessions, you can follow a planned curriculum with scheduled assignments and deadlines, receive personalized feedback from Sam, and get a physical certificate of completion.
This course is intended for students with prior lighting experience, so you will be expected to already know some basic concepts such as Lambertian reflection, specular reflection, Fresnel reflection, diffuse reflection, anisotropic reflection, specular highlights, variable reflectivity, etc. If you are not sure about your level of expertise, you can send your online portfolio to Schoolism using the contact link on their website and they will be happy to advise you.
