VFX Artists and Studios.
As 2025 comes to a close, I want to say thank you.

This year brought its share of challenges. Across our industry, uncertainty continues to shape how we work, who we work with, and what the future looks like. Budgets shifted. Timelines got tighter. Expectations only grew. But through it all, you kept creating.

At ActionVFX, we’ve seen firsthand how resilient and resourceful this community is.
Whether you’re a solo artist comping shots in your spare time, or a supervisor leading a team on a high-stakes production, we’re honored to support the work you do.

I want to share something important. Something we’ve been building toward for a long time: Our mission is to empower VFX artists with the tools to achieve creative and financial freedom.

We believe those two things go hand in hand. You shouldn’t have to choose between doing your best creative work and staying financially viable. You shouldn’t be blocked by access, or scale, or complexity. Whether you're a freelancer, a small studio, or a global team, we want to make sure you have what you need to thrive.

This year, we took major steps toward that goal:
- We added over 1,700 new assets, many from our biggest practical shoots to date.
- We launched the ActionVFX Academy, with hundreds of artists already learning how to build smarter pipelines with new tools like ComfyUI.
- We listened to your feedback, iterated faster, and put more attention into not just quality, but usability and speed.

But this is just the start.
2026 will be our most focused year yet. Our team is doubling down on what matters most: tools that save you time, resources that unlock creativity, and content that helps you grow.

So, as we step into 2026, here’s what I can promise:
We’ll keep building with you in mind. We’ll keep listening.
And we’ll keep working to make ActionVFX the most trusted, flexible, and artist-first resource out there.

From all of us at ActionVFX: thank you for being part of this community.
We’re excited for what’s ahead, and we’ll be right there with you in 2026.

Happy Holidays!

What do VFX artists actually use?
We pulled the numbers, and these were the most popular collections of 2025 from the ActionVFX library.

From explosions to subtle texture layers, these are the assets that made it into timelines, pitch decks, short films, blockbusters, YouTube channels, trailers, and everything in between.

Here’s the Top 10:
😶‍🌫️ Atmospheric Smoke & Fog Vol. 3
🌧️ Rain
🩸Fabric Squib Hits
💥Directional Explosions
🔫Muzzle Flashes Vol. 2
🩸Blood Hits
🩸Blood Bursts
🌧️Dripping Water
🌧️Rain Drops on Ground
🔥Body Fire

They’re widely used for a reason, they work in real productions.
If you’re mapping out Q1, this list might help.

Along the way, we’ve learned a lot too.
Putting this course together showed us just how powerful ComfyUI can be when paired with the mindset of a compositor, not just a prompt. And just how much clarity the industry needs around these tools.

Doug Hogan took that challenge head-on, crafting a 15-module journey that balances theory with real production application.

What you'll gain:
✅ A clear understanding of how generative AI fits into VFX
✅ Hands-on workflows using ControlNets, LoRAs, IPAdapters, and more
✅ Exportable results that drop into your comp—fast
✅ A scalable skillset that supports you in an AI-driven future
