Welcome to the Web-Swinging VFX Course!
In this course, we go over the entire process of creating the viral web-swinging effect by JoshVFX (yours truly) that has generated over 500 million views on social media.
This isn't a heavily scripted tutorial.
You're watching my actual production workflow from start to finish, including the decisions, mistakes, and problem-solving that never make it into the short-form content.
We will be using Blender 5.2.0 (Free) and After Effects 2026 (Subscription).
Lastly, make sure to join the private Discord community for help and feedback!
Happy Learning!
Included:
- 5+ hours of instructional material

Your instructor
Hi, my name is JoshVFX! I'm a VFX Artist and Content Creator with over 10 years of experience. I have over 10 million followers and my videos have generated billions of views across social media.
I love using VFX to create videos that surprise and entertain people in unique ways! I've always been passionate about super heroes and finding ways to bring superpowers to life through digital media.
In the Web-Swinging VFX Course, I break down the full process—from creating your own 3D body double and animating believable swing physics to environment setup, web effects, and a polished composite—so you can build shots that look and feel real. I’m passionate about pushing realism and awe with practical workflows, and helping you leave with the confidence to tackle any web-swinging hero shot.
