ALL DESIGN TOOLS
One of the things I like to do is take something that exists in the real world and try to recreate it digitally. In this example, I extracted the helicopter on the right and replaced it with my helicopter. The key was matching the lighting, color, blur, and grain of the original shot. What is really great about this technique is having a reference for what things are supposed to look like. Then when you are working on a 100% CG shot you will have the proper chops... I mean skills to get it done. These kind of excercises will give you that real world experience needed to become a great compositor.

Andrew is a great role model. He motivates others to step up their game. Only 3d models isn's that easy.. Then again i'm starting a new education game design this year so i can make some models and interact with them in a composition. (finished video editor/camera education)

Hey Andrew, not trying to nag you but this is really good. and i would really appreciate if you posted a tutorial on how to do this. it dosent have to be free either it can be like the bullet tutorial. Because I'm creating a movie or a short film about an hour long and the main gist is war or modern warfare and helicopters are a huge thing and this looks amazing. sorry about this being long but you know its just an idea for the next "video copilot" DVD. but you know it was just a though. thanks for all you've already done for me. you've taken my compositing to the next level.

Mr. Kramer i think you know you are amazing but i was hoping you gonna make a tutorial about how did you built this chopper so that more people gonna know more.
pls cld u give us a tut (or reference if exists) on video grading. think i know bt seeing wt u do....... i can learn a little. merci
As always Andrew you are a star, excellent exercise and great looking result.

Here is a nice little website were you can download 3d models of diffrent WW2 vehicals for multiple 3d programs. Some are even free.
example - Look under American tanks, you can download the M1 for free!!
So start practicing you animation and compositing skills!
Fyi, I don't think they are all rigged for animation. But there is always time to learn how to do that too!

I presume that the tail rotor rotation is at another frame in motion..Andrew's render just has it as still in that frame..after all it wouldn't be realistic otherwise.. it's just a dropped/stilled frame at that point of the composite.

Speedbreaker, read what I said again, downwards arc, the faster something spins, the more it tries to be "on top" of the air, thus providing lift. A chopper does really fly, it's a question of beating the air.
so if you have the blades hanging down, it means it's not beating the air, thus the chopper could not be off the ground.

Zvi, I also thought so at first, now I'm just not sure,
the thing that is making me wonder is if you look at the top chopper, look at the blades, looks like the are making a downwards arc, would a real chopper in the air have it's blades do that? I doubt it. could be wrong.

Looks astounding. My only critique is that the chopper blades in the photo bend so blade tips go upwards. Your CGI blade tips bend downwards, which is always the way I see them while sitting on the ground not rotating, and bending under their own weight.
They should bend upwards when in flight like the tips of a bird's wings.

Andrew,
I like your version best. Yeah, the blades may be bigger and hang lower than the original, but if it's for a movie, then bigger is better and your image definitely impressed me more than the original. The original looks kind of wimpy compared to your mean-machine. Yours has the WOW factor in it.
I am definitely going to toy with creating things like this. After seeing your version done on a computer, I am anxious to test the waters and see if I can do it too. Thanks for being a superb inspiration to us all Andrew.

This is some great composition advice, I love how animation forces you to scrutinise the minor details and behaviours of the way things move and interact and reflect light.
@ Chris, that point about the blades pointing up into a cone is fascinating, you'd never notice usually but makes great sense. I shall be boring my friends with that little gem in the near future.
Great example, cheers

Andrew,
That is a great comp.
I think you need to alter the metal of the chopper with a tiny bit of a bump map or displacement map, so it reflects less like plastic.
Yes, sorry to get down on your work. Consider that my evil personality.

I don't know if anyone's said this (I haven't read all the comments), but to be nit picky, but from the centrifugal force and life from the spinning the weight of the copter, and the prop blades should look like they're curved slightly upwards.

Anyway, if you are in the Los Angeles area you should definitely check it out. It's worth the time. The only downside is that parking cost $12!

"The key was matching the lighting, color, blur, and grain of the original shot" This is the defacto of the Industry for Compositing CG and Live Footage!

Hey Andrew,
Question... How exactly do you get the blades to rotate with a blur with out making the chopper blur too? I have 500 .3ds Models of Tanks and Choppers and bunch other stuff, And I am trying to figure out the blur for one part and not the other part of the model. Maybe it's scripting, but I am not at that level yet.

looks very spot on!
there is one thing that i really notice though. the blades. in the real choppers, due to the spinning, the blade tips RISE out from the linkage point. in the CG chopper, they are showing weighted down on the ends it looks like they are static blades sitting on the ground with blur added.
other than that, looks great.

You've got the photos backwards (on purpose?). The CG model from the previous composite had the radar bulb on top and now the one labeled as CG does not (and the one labeled as real does). Or wait, did you remove it? Because the one labeled CG does have the incorrectly curved downward rotor blades...

VC PRODUCT! We need a tutorial on advanced compositing like this. And especially in video. Make one that's like a robot warrior in a place. It would be a great tut.
Andrew, your composite (lighting, blurring) looks dead-on! The only thing is that the modeling of the AH-64 Apache is not too great. That being said, it's still a great composite and will many who may not have an aviation/military background. But accuracy and continuity is still important. But this isn't Andrew's fault at all - just the person who modeled the helicopter. But I agree, the rotor blade "disk" should be flexed upward in flight, just like wings of a commercial jetliner/glider are flexed upward in flight - another thing that annoys me about movies that uses CG aircraft with unflexed wings - very unrealistic.
well, i bet in the next scene the chopper transforms into a Machine-Gun-Wielding-Robot which fights against an army of Ninja Monkeys...

Hey Andrew,
Brilliant work, as usual. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on taking a model (for instance the chopper), and show how you make it from being the 3d model, to the final product. I'm in 3ds Max, but I've been having a hard time with lighting, rendering, and the final output....things aren't coming out as good as I'd like them, so a tutorial would be brilliant. It probably would be pretty simple for you to shed light on this.
Thanks for considering. I really appreciate it.

Man, now that someone's mentioned it, I can't help but notice the fact that the blades on everything but your chopper are bent upwards when I look at the pics. It's still a nice composite, but that small discrepancy does bug me a bit.
I hate criticizing your work Andrew, but one thing which ALL people miss is the fact that the propeller blades are bent upwards when a chopper is in the air! Other than that it's awesome.
Realy nice job, i know the pain it is to try to composite a 3d object into a real scene. Lighting, GI, caustics, etc, etc... And you get it done perfectly. Just one advice on physics, blades should be bending up, and not down.
To answer the question on how to remove it , you can notice the sky was replaced . It isn't hard as long as you know what you are doing when replicating a scene, just the question is usually what you need to remove first and how you are going to match it like Andrew has explained.
Now that I'm done geeking out, Great work and thanks for the idea (to comp over reference material) simple and brilliant, I don't think I'd have noticed the blades if I hadn't been told that was CG.
P.S. I like the new website header!

I think the real helicopter looks more CG'd than the actual CG shot. The guns on each side just look too simple, compared to the awesome destructive machines on the CG helicopter.
Love the blades, too! I noticed someone saying that they appeared too close to the camera, but I think it's a cool effect.
I can't wait to see more!

Great composite! I used to fly in Army Choppers, I saw one other mention of this... when a helicopter is in flight the blades bend upward (because the heavy fuselage is hanging from them!) and forms a shallow cone (when seen dead on with all the motion blur). A spinning rotor system is often called the rotor disk since the blades visually and aerodynamically behave like one solid shape.

just take Photoshop and edit the picture. Because its a still frame and the chopper is in front of the sky its not a big deal to remove it.

This is really amazing! Only two things I dislike, which were already mentioned: the wide lens and the rotor blades should be curved up. But I guess it's OK for just a test. The rest looks great. I can't wait to see more 3D tutorials and stuff!
Question is...-how would u remove the original chopper?
u just animate the CG chopper above it, as u cover it above the real one? or u somehow remove the old one off the frame?

It's encouraging to see that you are still aggressive about expanding your skills.
The reason I come to this site is to become better, so it's good to know that you're also growing.
Go for it!

I think its a great training concept and one should always try to do this before they finalize the comp.
You are quite the night owl aren't ya? I work best when the sun goes down.

As long as you guys are thinking about the training concept, I'm happy! Otherwise, what the heck are we trying to save?

Pretty nifty, Kramer!
It's a great idea for compositing.. But not all of us are as ungodly skilled as you. :p

Not 100 % perfect but still amazing, and I think that's enough for "just a test"

not wanting to pick flaws, because it looks fantastic - but the major difference between yours and the real still is that your virtual camera is a much wider lens.
Also the reflevtivity of the glass seems slightly off, and perhaps your shadows are sliiiightly underexposed compared to the real one.
lets see some tut's like this though! proper high-end stuff - it's awesome!

Wow that is great and could easily fool a trained eye nice work. That is a really great practice. To me the only thing that looks a little off is maybe the reflections on the window. Of course without that reference image I would have never caught that. I hope my comps will eventually turn out that great.
