The foundry did a really nice write up on me and my team!

Yeah I know what you're saying. Sometimes shows don't want a super on set because they don't want to pay... only to pay 3x as much in post. But then again, the shows arguments are that whenever...
Well he was the VFX Super, so having gaff tape was his job :) Dude, you can build a laser array for less than $150 bucks.
Go to dragonlasers.com, get yourself a 90mW green laser and some grid defraction grating. Use a C-stand, aim laser from side angle (so as not to hit people) through taped on grating and make a nice...
Old post but - more or less you have a complex CG shot on your hand. I don't think any 2D trickery is going to get around modeling, lighting, texturing, animating, tracking, some HDRI work, blending...
We do this all the time for a TV show about sporting events. Massive is overkill for something like this unless you're Peter Jackson or have a copy lying around. If they are far away, like the clip...
The answer is: Because they have 10,000 people in other countries that can do the roto at a cheaper cost than the cost of the time burned on set for the GS setup.
So like the above people said. ...
It just depends on how much Roto and tracking you will have. If people are dancing with long curly hair in front of that thing, you probably want to green it out. Likewise, if you are in so tight...
You probably want to put small dots on and around joints and about half way in between joints. Kinda depends on the distance of the shot... A few points visible at all times in key areas for an...
You can search all the root and active viewer knobs via these snippets, but I can't find anything for yah :(
As a VFX supervisor, it would concern me that the client wants to do, what sounds like an ambitious project involving full CG characters and a redOne and there is no time budgeted for tests. Seems...
You can derive the knobs of any node by simply copying the node and pasting the values into any text editor. Within the brackets for the node properties, the first value will be the knob, the...
Love to continue the flame war, but me thinks off topic for this thread. I generalized. Any camera can be used for professional purposes. I've seen great stuff done on goPro, 5D, etc. By price...
Expression node isn't really TLC driven. TLC can, in fact, be used in just about any node to reference other values and such.
The Expression node is more of a way to apply formulas to different...
Not sure I totally agree with some of the above. True 420 will give you worse chroma than luma (50% to be exact), but if all you are going for is sillouhettes, you can still shoot on a GS and then...
Thanks, but that's just the basics of how to hook up project3D and UVproject nodes. My problem is linking geo that is imported with animation (FBXX) to a camera projection and 'baking' the footage...
Hey.
I have:
A tracked, imported camera.
Geo of a guys jacket.
Plate of guys jacked with rig that needs to me removed off the back.
I'd like to go to a specific frame, map a projection of...
Quick question, usually if I toss a roto node right before a card and set it to alpha/premult, I can see and manipulate my spline in 3D view.
However, if I am running a project3D node to my card,...
Bending or Banding?
16bit is probably not enough to smooth all the banding if you are doing a lot of subtle gradient work. Try adding a very low percentage of noise over your gradient. Use a...
I do a ton of VFX Supervision in Television. Just worked on a show where the main Super was a former TD at DD for 12 years and the other Super is a main VFX Super at Method. I can confirm that...
In practice, putting a screen 25 feet away from the subject is usually not ideal. Think about how much space you need, and how much green screen you need to cover a movable area for any significant...
Is there an expression floating around out there to take a card and make a radio wave radiating out from the center, like a sin wave type thing with freq and amp?
bam, got it, thanks! Now I get to make 100 scripts mac/pc compatible :(
Still not working. Seems like the init.py finds the nuke folder, but it is not calling the meny.py after all. Not sure why, is pluginAddPath the wrong method for PCs?
