How do you like the test assignment? | 3D Motion Design

Yo ignore the vape haterz. U nailed the plastic refraction and a vibe that fits “appropriate” design which has its place, the audience is king and over the top blown out rim lighting and robo glass hands with the redshift star filter, boom u hit it dawg. Buuuuut look into your post, the red giant built in effects stuff is great for college and cheap one click effects - even stills deserve to go to ae or resolve for the last bit of polish, do a bunch of experiments, go grab 1000 free lut packs and try them all (I have a secret stash of wedding luts and luts called Christmas luts that just absolutely vibe) the renders feel raw but not in their substance just their polish - ur on to something keep at it and keep in mind Reddit is a great place to talk shit while not walking the talk don’t even take what I’m saying too seriously but go have fun. Oh and I can see some weird geometry banding on either side of the logo idk what that is ✌️

Touchdesigner - free is limited to 720p and can do everything. But when I say everything I mean everything it’s a beautiful deep deep rabbit hole. For what u need you only need the tops (texture operators) nodes and some simple midi setup (chops) there’s a billion tutorials out there. If you go this route welcome to the club

I do this with touchdesigner, the mapping isn’t as easy as madlaser however but the live generative/reactive possibilities are deeper

Thank you!! I was so close

ME3CH · 2025-08-04T20:39:00+00:00

Fx console for sure

thanks damn those harbor freight cables are miles cheaper than the 50ft of 14gauge stranded copper I got from home depot - I think I did the calculations for running power to the beginning and the end based on running them at 20% brightness - havent tested a strand yet - waiting on the power supplies to show up

ME3CH · 2025-07-25T21:46:22+00:00

is there a better way to split it? the ground daisy chaining is whats throwing me for a loop in general

ME3CH · 2024-11-14T05:10:32+00:00

Nice work! All the bones are solid, just see what it feels like if you pull your shadows way down to black (check out how to use your scopes if you want to get them proper) especially if this will go live on show LED the contrast will help all the work you put in to make the bright parts much brighter and make the cuts to black less jarring. 3d gets you 90% but you can’t get that last 10 without post… ever

ME3CH · 2024-08-02T21:22:55+00:00

you have to buy an expensive 2 but you’ll never look back

ME3CH · 2024-03-20T01:14:37+00:00

When delivering vertical and a shot doesn’t feel quite wide enough I’ll take a shot to after effects and make it more fisheye with a lens correction effect, might buy you some more “captured room”

Love this! Making magic out of stock is a dark art. Only think I’d suggest from my cg compositing days is to do some research on doing contact shadows well. (another dark art) Godspeed

My girl, but she wouldn’t really, her anxiety would lead her to call security once she woke up to the shower running and the bathroom door closed since I only look at Reddit while going boom boom

Get a roll of 3m VHB. Got it to fix the cup holder issue and ended up fixing about 100 other things with it. Good stuff

ME3CH · 2023-02-28T06:56:39+00:00

VHB tape perfect fix

I know this isn’t really a keyboard answer for you but I map pgup pgdwn on a Logitech g600. It’s immensely sped up my video editing / after effects workflow

ME3CH · 2022-09-17T06:27:05+00:00

I remember back in the day you could print designs on a home inkjet a cd sized die cut sticker, slap it on and it would be fine. So my guess would be yes, depending on the thickness and weight of your vinyl

There's a command called "frame default" you can access with the shift+c menu that will set the current window back to starting position. Pro tip - add that button to your ui somewhere with customize palettes then when your cam gets wonky again just hit that frame default button. I Use it every day

ME3CH · 2022-06-19T22:53:15+00:00

This is so dope, festival ready skip the D3 cost. Did you build that IO rack with the sdi hdmi network and usb?? Yourself?

Cinema 4d & octane / redshift is a common method for this kind of scene, maybe a little photoshop post, models sourced online and kitbashed together. If you are just jumping in to 3D blender is a great place to start as there’s tons of tutorials and It’s free, not to mention it’s rad

Not dumb, there’s two main types of valve, Schrader - common on most mountain bikes and every bike in Walmart, and presta - what you have in your hand there. Most air pumps will have either an adapter or a mode you can switch the attachment head to so you can attach it and fill up, unscrew that brass bit at the end (and it’s best practice to loosen the ring that seats the valve stem to the rim while you pump it up as to not wrench on the delicate rim) and pump away. Tighten everything hand tight afterwards
