3D MODELS

Well our plan was to transition to new dedicated servers over the next few months but I’ve noticed more down time lately and we are now going to be aggressively transitioning to them over the next couple of weeks.
Things used to slow down towards the end of the week but I guess things are changing rapidly. *sniffle* I love you guys.
more SFX...more SFX...more SFX.
any idea how you could make a tattoo animate on to someones face realisticaly in a moving image? is it possible to use some sort off mesh to mimic the contours of thier face, track and manipulate it acording to the footage, and then mask the tattoo on???...
can AE do it or does it need a £d app?
please help i need this effect for a music video im doing...
you... and your tutorials rule...
Wouldn't you just use the demon face tutorial mixed with a displacement map so it contours?

Peace.

a lot of people do not count AE as a compositing program… so please prove them to be wrong…

I think its possible if you use tracking on the face, then maybe distort the tattoo over time with displacement or corner pin or liquify.. I u use liquify you can maybe mimic the contours of the face..
Search for tattoo tutorial on photoshop, to learn about which blending mode to use and so on.
I think everyones F5 button takes a big hit throughout the weekend... am I alone here?
Here is the tutorial for how to get the tattoo to grow.

Past that you are going to have to be really creative with the deformation and liquify tools in AE to match it to the face.
To get the tattoo to look like it's on the skin, double up the original footage & play with the blending modes using a double of the tattoo as a matte. Basically use the orig footage to texture the tattoo itself.
PS
Please use the Tutorial Requests post to add ideas.
I read them all. You don't have to, just post your idea.

Take your time to do your stuff man. You rock and the last thing we want is to consume your time. Well, not ALL of it ;) :P
I will sacrifice 1000 goats in your honor!

Everytime you post a new tutorial it gets that much better...
i get all the pages fine, but i can't download any project files or access the blog until now.
Clancy, I replied to your email. I just wasn't in town. You gotta give me a little more than a single days notice ;)
And now your getting a better server just for us, gosh that is so nice of you. Wow, the things you do for us Andrew. I am going to try to make sure that you know that I'll be here if you need anything at all.
Thank You So Much!
So much luck on your next tutorials, and filmmaking. Have fun, because I know I am.
A once again thanks,
Jacob Aaron

that means thank you very much in zombie/demon language ;)
i love that demon tutorial~~
i've a lot of fun
waiting for next advance demon tutorial(3D tracking~)
I think Jacob Aaron summed it up pretty well. I first discovered videocopilot a little over a year ago. After Effects was this huge program I desprately wanted to learn, but I didn't know where to start. Your website has made learning so much fun, and has only increased my desire to learn more, and kind of like a bad drug the more I learned, the more I wanted to learn. I have spent many nights awake on my computer watching your tutorials over and over again making sure I hadn't missed a single step, so that by breakfast time, I could pretty much do the tutorial, word for word.
Thank You Andrew for spending so much time creating tutorials that are easy to follow, funny as hell, and most importantly informative. I have been and always will be a huge fan of you and the website you've spent so much time creating.

hope all the best for videocopilot.net ..
btw : could u make a tutorial about to do the time-slice effect (freeze and then the camera go around the object in freeze world) -> like matrix ?
i heared that it's required more than 10 cameras recording at least in same time to do it .. but maybe you have another idea ?
thanks again Andrew
That tutorial your asking for , i mean the one with the Matrix freeze effect, i must say is completly to do in AE, to get this u need more than just 10 cameras, u need more like 100 cameras ( and this is not camcorders, they make it with stills) and it requires pro work to set these cameras in a perfect circle. and these cameras each take 1 or maybe 2 ( i dont remember ) picture. so this freeze effect is made kinda like u make a cartoon movie, where u draw 1 drawing and then do another one another one etc. and they make a small movement each in each drawing.
BUT - if are trying to make this effect without the cameras and stuff, the only way to achieve this , is to use a 3D program and model your character to look like the person u want to freeze.
there is no way to make this like matrix , with 1 camcorder. sorry to say so.. ;)
u could ofc make all your actors stand still and the run around and film a frozen world if u want :D
Actually you should buy the Matrix on DVD and just watch behind the scenes, u learn alot mate ;)
peace.
Or when the helicopter smashs into the glass building in the first movie, i guess you could do that with a green screen, a ripple, shatter and a few different layers!
XD
sorry aboot the test,,

(sniffle) I love you too man....
rofl... best thing ever xD
Also you can look at this vid, someone did it that way:
http://www.creativecow.net/articles/kumar_satish/bullet_time/index.htm
He didnt Jump like the guy in the tutorial, but its almost the same.
Its like what happens when your so bored and you like harry potter movies, that youcant think of anything better lol
I've tried, but I can't duplicate it on my own. :(
The tutorials will be available for your portable devices (most likely via iTunes), the tutorials will be on youtube, and Andrew is planning on making them availabe on DVD for a small price of $20.
I assume that the tutorials are not Cached because the videos are streamed from a server (but i could be wrong).
AIR, Silverlight or Quicktime? Just curious.
I think Andrew just want to spare the blog's database by not announcing a new tutorial. Remember the last time, when people got a little bit off topic and talked about what countries they are from and how Andrew Kramer is written in their language and when Andrew sleeps and stuff (that actually showed how significant it is for us to have a forum *hint*). Maybe I'm wrong and Andrew will post a new blog entry right after I click on "Submit Comment". Or maybe he has an even better tutorial than the last one and he just want to make an impact on Monday surprising the whole world with his superhuman skills. Or maybe he's just busy...
expect from VCP this weekend??????
HAH I thought today was Friday...I went out
and bought a bunch of props for my commercial
tomorrow and just been thinking about it all day..
site, they didn't track my IP or something, and they will hack my site next...I should go back it up...cause I'm hosting many sites on that server, for myself and my father....I don't think I want to be affiliated with any sites that are/ been hacked lol...
