With projections you want to make sure you have a decent amount of resolution. Mattepaintings (where projections are quite often used) are usually double the final output resolution and possibly...
This is generally not something you could do on your own without the rig, and based on what I read you would need to understand the basics of what technically happening in the shot to try to even...
Here, maybe you've seen this or maybe not. But if you haven't it may help if you have questions about how nuke handles color. ...
From what I understand it's because in floating point compositing you have a more mathematically accurate composite working in linear color. I could be wrong.
You can setup some cards with some cloud like texture in your 3d world, that mixed with the z-depth trick would probably the best for realism at the comp level. If you want to try messing with...
Hey guys I took a couple terms at PHD in 08 and I was re-doing some of my shake classes in nuke, to try to get a feel for nuke. I had never done the Oil Rig comp yet but I do have the footage from...
Afterburn and Fume in tandem with 3ds Max would be a good solution. It takes a little to learn but its extremely good and doing smoke and explosions.
You download the videos, the only downside to fxPhd is how much hard drive space it takes up. But thats why they make external hard drives.
Hey Im working under similar circumstances so I may be able to offer some insight. The right thing to do is to clean all the noise and add in your own but then yes you do have to add some foley back...
I now am a Keanu fan, massive respect for that man. Ironically enough I just watched the Matrix last night after years of not watching. Special FX and Costume team though the guys created cg are...
I learned more in fxPHD then I did in 3 years of school, go figure. Its a good investment if your serious.
I have about 6 hours of footage for a independent feature in standard def at 24p and Im using DV 23.98. I also had to get an external HD, its a must because if I fill up my drive with footage I will...
I wouldnt do Collins for anything other then Graphic Design or IT. I am a graduate and working on a film with current student I will say that its gotten worse then when I went there. I learned more...
I agree with scottcomp, also I would like to add one thing. I find it best to start with a conceptual painting first. I will not discount the quality of the work you have done here though, its...
@mordecaidesign Coffee no, you know I dont drink it! However I can do tea, the problem is my phone has been on the damn fritz and I cant get to power up to just get numbers out. Just email me...
Yeah you can project with more then one image, as well as camera. You just have to create a mask where two projections overlap os it doesnt create wierd ghosting or texture doubling. Essentially if...
Yeah I went to the one in Tempe. When it comes to VFX and Animation, all the good teachers had left. In my case they left one year into my degree program which pretty much was the point of no...
You can learn all the basics from all gnomon DVDs in the animation field which cost about $3k last time I checked. Then if you take about a year or two of FXPHD then you can put the basics to work...
Looking good, I think you have it.
The first thing you want to do is remove lens distortion form the images, it helps with the seams. Second you do want to create some geometry that matches the hero building. From there you can...
Yes its much better then eyeballing it. I had two matching monitors and my Huey Pro got them looking the same.
Wow time flies when your changing jobs and life comes at you. Well I may not get to work on this one nut if I get some time this weekend I will see how far I get, it its close then I will push...
I actually have to recant and say that I have been using layers of tiffs instead of PSDs. There are to many different problems that happen when using psds. I can see nuke not liking blend modes...
I am pretty sure fusion can, at least the demos at the last Siggraph I attended showed them pulling in a obj file and using it to reinforce a comp. I am not fusion user, I know it can import models...
