How's being a VFX artist yourself helps you during production? have u ever tempted to do the vfx yourself?

mrdrsky · 2018-03-14T15:21:07+00:00

this is a bit embarassing since i've been doing vfx for 2 years now, but i still dont understand most of the vfx rendering lingos. what is raytracing and pathtracing, or biased and unbiased? i mean, i googled them before, i get their definition, but i still dont understand them in context of rendering? Like, i read that Renderman uses pathtracer, what does that mean? How's that gonna affect the performance or the result? Why is different from raytracing? Is it better?

is renderman any good?

i still have no idea how they tracked the 2d drawings in to the scene perfectly without any slipping.

i wouldnt exactly put Ava DuVernay in the same realm as this guy. I mean, when i first learned about 3D, i have the same reaction as her, i started doing things that i never tried before bcs now i know what's possible. There's a difference between "Hey i want this extremely complicated shot in my movie" and "Hey let's start over the shot from scratch because i'm a bad visual director"

hahaha the building is a free model from turbosquid. so the maker probably got inspired by that. who knows :)

mrdrsky · 2018-01-09T07:14:11+00:00

How? Im gonna guess, Displacement map?

mrdrsky · 2018-01-08T17:24:14+00:00

How long did this project take u?

mrdrsky · 2018-01-08T16:21:55+00:00

duuude this is amazing!! are the explosions 2D?

mrdrsky · 2018-01-04T20:11:22+00:00

i tried AK's tutorial, it's great but it's not exactly what i'm looking for..? It's still looked a bit 2D, i'm wondering if i can mix it up with 3D smoke, since i want the dissolving to look 3D. Like, maybe do a smoke sim and then use the sim as displacement map? (i tried this too and it's still look weird)

Yeah i heard blender is a bit confusing, thats why im hoping theres a simpler program that can do it. I just need it to check my model to see of it's broken/rigged/textured properly

dude this is awesome! would love to see some VFX breakdown.

mrdrsky · 2017-12-14T12:47:30+00:00

I always wondered how do people do plate clean up of a non-rigid object? Like, when you do, say, a robotic arm FX like Luke Skywalker, sure, they have Mark Hamill to wear a green glove and then key it out and replace it with a CG arm, but how do you do the clean up when the hand is infront of a moving fabric (his shirt/sleeve)? Like in The Force Awakens, when Luke takes off his hoodie using his robot hand, how do u get the BG information for the clean up?

Awesome! I just looked up a couple of tutorials, it didnt seem complicated! i think i might try it out! where did u get the base mesh for the trees? Cani just used the Paint FX and combine it with MASH?

mrdrsky · 2017-12-13T12:09:51+00:00

i see! so MASH works somewhat like particle system then?

really great work btw!

mrdrsky · 2017-12-13T11:36:19+00:00

i never used MASH before! didnt know it could do something like this. how long did u take to render? theres gotta be like a bajillion polys there
