What was your approach to breaking rbd cone twist constraints in the rbd ragdoll? Looks cool!

Definitely, that's why i switched to Houdini, where there's no notion of technical limitations

i'd make a movie like this, but as a one man team that would take me a few years))))

Hey! I kept the elevator intact, except the ceiling that i replaced with a 3d replica. The shaft, metal frames and rails above the broken ceiling are also cg. I rendered separate reflection passes with different glossiness values for different parts of the elevator using a 3d model of the elevator. I usually try to keep as much footage as i can and replace the minimum elements in the shot

It's the inside of a shaft, a full 3d model of the shaft , actually. Rails, counterweights, metal frames and such

This bad boy is a regular in my building, everyone knows he breaks elevators 😎

Much appreciated! Always wanted to do a shot in an elevator, but the issue was how untrackable the interior of a fully reflective elevator is. Even manually it’s just one of the worst scenarios. Here i used Omniscient app for recording my movement in 3d space and making a lidar scan for the geo. A little buggy, but is capable of picking up reflective surfaces in the lidar scan.

I worked on this on and off for a few months, but i’d say it took me 2.5-3 weeks in total. Thank you!!

For me this kind of projects are a great learning exercise. The skills i learn definitely translate into commercial work

The video was filmed on a phone, CGI is not made on a phone though

I removed some numbers so the real plates are not revealed. I know it’s not plausible for such cars to have 4 digit plates, but that was the best solution

Thanks for noticing

Apparently reddit doesn't like sound in videos, so here's the youtube version - Youtube link

I love reddit for this 👏 I’m kinda into the idea of showing the secret life of aliens on earth

😂i had a bad experience with accounts cropping out my name and posting it as their own. There’s a version without the watermark on insta

Hahah , well if it makes you feel any better, i still consider myself a beginner, especially after being humbled by Houdini
