Graphical Control of BMS & HVAC throught Facility Explorer

FX Workbench is a practical, hands-on course designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of visual effects creation using FX Workbench. In this course, students will learn how to build, control, and optimize procedural FX simulations commonly used in film, games, and animation.

In addition to core FX techniques, this course also focuses on designing HVAC graphics and other Building Management System (BMS) visuals. Students will learn how to create clear, functional, and visually accurate system graphics used for monitoring and control interfaces, combining technical understanding with effective visual design.

The course covers essential concepts such as particles, smoke, fire, forces, collisions, and dynamics, along with practical workflows for HVAC and BMS graphics. Emphasis is placed on efficient production methods, troubleshooting, and industry best practices.

By the end of the course, students will be able to confidently navigate FX Workbench, design FX simulations, create HVAC and BMS system graphics, and prepare production-ready outputs for real-world applications. This course is ideal for beginners and aspiring FX or BMS graphics designers looking to build a strong technical foundation.

This course also helps students understand real-world system visualization requirements, industry standards, and practical communication methods used in professional HVAC and BMS project environments.
