LOL, that alien thing at the beginning made me laught for like 30 min. XD
Hey, man, I´m from Cuba. Here is very hard tio access to the internet, but when we the chance we useit to get your website and download all your turorials. Thank you very much for your time and videos.
Great work man. i downloaded all your tutorials. I really want to thank you that, you've done so many vfx tutorials & shared & still sharing with us for free. You are great man.
POGS! WHAT THE F***! Dude, honestly, I'm writing a song about being in school in the 90's and I'm thinking of as many crappy 90's things as possible. Anyway, I just thought "Pogs!" wrote it into my phone as a note, imediately opened up Firefox to do a new tutorial, loaded this up and BLAM! Pogs... I'm off to play the lottery.
yes, that's right. I think the website developer(s) might be mistaken.Here is the solution:
write www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/3d_crater_p2/ instead of www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/3d_crater_p1/
that's it :)
I need serious help and I hope you’ll be able to help me… Here is the situation :
I’ve been asked to make a music video with a very short deadline (25/03/2010)! So far so good but where it gets complicated and real time consuming is that they’ve delivered me the footage shot in PAL HDV and, most of it was shot on a poor quality green screen with poor lighting making it very difficult to make a good keying job. That’s the first problem!
The second problem is that it was shot not using a stand resulting in a quite shaky footage with quite a lot of motion.
Here is what the band would like knowing that the budget is close to €0:
- Me to create a virtual rehearsal studio set (done with After Effects)
- Me to create a virtual office (done with After Effects)
- Render the whole video in Full HD (not difficult)
Here are my problems:
- The keying is not great so I opted for quite dark rehearsal and office 3D sets
- As the band what shot with a lot of motion, I end-up having to key-frame every frame to match the movement of the camera. This is the opposite of what I usually do, in this case I have to animate the background according to the foreground and it is taking ages to get it right.
My questions:
- How can I get a better keying?
- Is there any way I could track the foreground in order to match the movement of the camera and apply it to the sets in After Effects respecting perspectives…?
Here are the software I’m using :
- Adobe Master Collection CS4
- Boujou 4.1 (only started learning it though)
- Moka for AE
I could send you a sample (15 sec. or so) of the footage if you’d like in case my English is not good enough for you to understand my problems… I’m French, nobody’s perfect.
Thank you very much in advance for your answer and respect for your tutorials and work!!!
Best regards,
May be i can answer your questions. But i ain't assure you that my solution is correct.Here they are:
First answer is: In any composting application like AE, combustion, Nuke etc, first make a color correction, adjust brightness contrast of the poor-lit footage. Then apply a reduce Noise effects plugins(for AE)over the footage. Adjust it then render. you will get a fresh copy. After doing this, if the footage is still bad for keying, you can carefully mask out the foreground's good part then keying. It will work. I used it.
Second Answer is: 2d3 has released a plugins called Steady Move for AE. you can use it to stabilize your shaky footage. or you can use after fx's own stabilization system.Then you can track it in boujou or mocha(warn: mask out the moving actors, or it will create problem).
GIVE ME THE ANSWER
I CANT OPEN THE "CRATER SCENE" MAX SCRIPT IN MY 3D MAX VERSION 2011, WHY IS THAT.
