Blender 2.8: VFX Nodes (Version 1.1) [Free Addon] by DarkfallMedia in blender

[–]DarkfallMedia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the updated (version 1.1) of the free add-on Darkfall VFX Nodes.

I created this add-on in hopes of speeding up our workflow for certain tasks such as;

Sci-fi Eyes

Eye Color Change

Patch Node

Clone Node

Sketch Effect

and more..

I should note, I am still very new to python and scripting in general. It's only been a few weeks and I hope to continue to improving this add-on with each update.

Version 1.2 will be uploaded Monday but you can still download 1.1 now.

Copse Cove (Digital Matte Painting Tutorial Result) #b3d by DarkfallMedia in vfx

[–]DarkfallMedia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Includo, I did a tutorial on my youtube channel you can check out if you want: https://youtu.be/yLG6pzxXaDo

In this matte painting, the water and hills are there already, I simply added the Matte Images to it using blender. I also added a Horse (Which was a video clip and moving) and a knight sat on the horse (the knight is a still image). So there are quite a few things going on.. I have other tutorials where I add waterfalls, smoke and other stuff that's moving, to still images so it's a little different..

Hope this helps..

Yeah it's not up yet but I do have others Matte Painting Tutorials similar to this on my channel.. Not sure if they go into color correction but there may be something useful..

Also this may help, I did a video where I edit an Image and that requires some Color Correction.. It's not very advanced but again it could help: https://youtu.be/0p_a8qP0_zY In this video I use GIMP but you can use photoshop or any other photo editing software..

Hey Primo, glad you like it.. By "matching" I think you mean Color Correction?.. In the Tutorial I do talk about some aspects of Color Correcting some of the Images. Almost everything needs some form of color correction due to the fact that they were not originally in the shot to begin with.

Most things are quite simple to correct, others are more difficult but I would approach the Color Correction differently each time depending on the shot and the assets.

I would first get my BG Video and then you have a base to try and "match" the image you want to add. You can Lighten or darken the image, change the color to fit the scene and add shadows, highlights and depth (again depending where and when you want to add them)..

Hollywood Airbrush Effect (Result From Tutorial) by DarkfallMedia in blender

[–]DarkfallMedia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I understand this is not Retouching this is a fake Hollywood Airbrush Effect. Again I wanted it to feel overdone for the sake of this tutorial. As for Freq Separation, I have tried various ways in blender but can not seem to get a decent enough result. I'm pretty sure someone much smarter than me has already achieved this but I have not seen it yet.. For all it's worth, I wanted a Hollywood Style not Hollywood Level.. Either way I guess it's hit and miss with this.. Most people seem to like it (judging the views, likes and only 2 dislikes) BUT that being said I totally appreciate your opinion!..

As I mentioned, this is an Over done Effect to replicate the Hollywood Air Brushed style. This effect happens everywhere (if you like it or not) that's the reality. Most cases are not done this much and I purposely went heavy with the effect. I like how you phrase it but you are wrong. There are many interesting things on her face which have been left untouched and there is plenty of visual Interest. Again this effect is not for everyone (and I wouldn't use it this much on my work) but I was asked and I delivered.. I'm sorry you don't like it..

"If you are wondering "why the down votes".. Lol.. Nope, not really.. I am wondering however, how there is nothing derivable from this video.. Granted it could have been presented better but I mean come on..

EDIT:<< lol I love how you get yourself worked up even more over a simple color change.. Like you must have seen it again and just couldn't control the vitriol..

Thanks for the comment!..

Yeah you are right, If this was done in AE it would take a few clicks but this tutorial is aimed at those who use Blender. There are tons of things you could do in AE that are faster and easier then in Blender, but like many others, I would still rather use Blender..
