近期的short animation,給給意見~~

[marino]

can I ask you some question about your animation , stephen..?


what kind of software did u use in your animation....?

How to compose both 3d animation and live video together..

I mean, how to key on the 3d animation on the live video....?
like shawdow, and light...how to make it match the background..

May be the above question is stupid, because I just start to learn 3d 3 months ago....and I wanna to make a short animation for my final school project...so , does anyone can help me?

Can u guys post some links of the tutorial about the composition of 3d animatino with live video for me....? thank u ...thank u...

I really need some information about this.....

^_^!!

marino:Hi~~~i have used 3dsmax in this project.In animation,i more like Maya,cos Maya's skeleton can make more control and fast.In rendering,i have used Final render,GI renderer can help me setup the lighting more easy.but also can done by the base lighting(eg.MAYA)
In composting,i used After effect(but Shake more interesting),
we need make some simple object to fake the video enviroment.like the image what i attach,it use for Mask and drop shadow.i hope it can help you~~

dabear,Cyber Oxygen:Thats right~~看來還味夠全面,

[marino]

thanks a lot ...

can I ask u one more question...

what is GI render stand for...and the purpose ?

and also...I heard all of you using another plug in to do the rendering....I get confused......where did u guy get the "Final render", "brazil" and "mental ray"?

I have no idea to do rendering in Max for those above method...

I just started to learn MAX.....I only know to do the rendering is press "f10" ...that's it...>_<.....


and also...how to do the radiosity in max?
I 'm a lightwave user...so everything look difference in max....


can anyone post some tutorials about compositing video in max or lightwave....thank u..

喂, 如果系lw user

去flay.com, 剛剛update了一個做tracking 的freeware
this is the same idea for what u want to make

seems, that software not only for lw
u need a VRML importer to import the model matced from the camera

不要這麼快就不玩lw, lw can do everything so far as i can see!

學都有排學, 到你understand d concept再過另一software仲好

[marino]

hi..rryria....

actually I love lightwave...however...in hk company they feel like MAX more than lightwave.....everything time I read the recruit, the company always said they want someone to know MAX.

So I have to learn 3d max...

are u a lightwave user too?

I love to use lightwave to bulid model, if I model the same thing in max I have to spend thosand more time than I do in lightwave...><

what is a VRML importer , I have no idea what is that....can you tell me some more about the composite live video in lightwave..how to make to match with my animation...

if u feel free, please go to the art gallery of this forum to have a look, i had post some of my stuff in , however, it seems no one else wanna to give me some comments...may be I stuff is suck.....
anyway I really need you guy some comments for futher improvement of my animation....thank u...^_^

hey, marino

i can understand what your point is
as we can see, here, most of company favour maya or max

i learn lw from myself, i was deeply attracted by lw, maybe as a hobby

although there is a lot of people can play with more than 1 app,
i dont think they can master 1 app

so, for my own view, i still keep playing game with lw until i can master it

i got look at your artwork, i like clay w/ cartoony modelling as well
if i dont guess wrong, it's mainly made by smoothshift
this is the quickest way for clay w/ cartoony modelling

compositing works is not less difficult as animation works
for me, i like using AE for comp, Premiere for edit
lw can import live squence into timeline as well
u can simulate the environment from live footage
also, u can fake the environment too
depends on how quality and value u want
fake works always be efficient!

marino:i think concept is most important,if you got the concept of animation and lighting etc.you can play them in every 3d softwares.
also you get the concept of using 3d software,when you change to other software.you will easy to handle the new one.

about the GI render....it is fake the real enviroment lighting.cos the light come every direction in real .but just the GI is not enough.you need setup the the key light or some fill light to match the video's lighting.

sorry~i dont have compostie tut.

[marino]

um...yes I agree that concept is very essential.

can u tell me how did u adjust your animation to match the live video...?



in the pic u show, you make some fake object as a monitor and tissue roll, but they are still image, how can u know what time will the tissue roll drop, what time will the monitor vibrate....

I 'm so dum....sorry to ask you many question....

but I really need to make sth in my final semester project....thank u thank u...

[stephen_T]

first.we import the video sequences(usually use jpg) into viewport background which you captured.
now,you can watch the video sequences in you viewport.then you need build the simple object to fake the video enviroment.(monitor and tiusse roll) and posite in a right angle .also you need set the fake object's keyframes to match the movement in video's object.
(e.g. i need set the 3d tissues roll match the real tissues roll drop action,cos i need drop the shadow on the 3d tissues roll,also the monitor.i also set the Ultraman's footstep to match the monitor shaking.)
i render them in several part dont render the video sequences together,it will composite in after effect)
1,colour
2,colour mask
3,shadow mask
4,reflection colour
5,reflection mask
then put all things in after effect. last tune the colour to more match
the video,also the shadow colour.

u are welcome~~
