@@sethsmall1300 yeah the potential is absolutely stunning. Still things are at an early stage so I really hope that those workflow can be improved some how! Your cyberpunk series sounds pretty cool, looking forward for your results 😊

@@ehsay1251 thanks mate ☺️👍

@@GAMOLER what do you mean? 🤨

@Thies_Gruenewald like can i get normal maps, roughness map and albedo of a video manually without using switchlight?

@ ah that is what you mean. Because this video is not about SL! You can get everything with davinci. Check out some tutorials to this related topic. But in my opinion SL is doing the better job. Especially for a „one click“ solution 🙋🏼‍♂️😊

@@DaveCadGaming thanks for the hint Dave 🙋🏼‍♂️😊

@@DhiyaGraphic you are welcome 🙏😊

Thanks for your comment! Words like this motivate me to make more tutorials so thank you once again 😊 Yeah of course you can do the greenscreen and editing part in davinci! This is up to you, what ever you can effort at the time 😊 good luck for your first project! And remember: small progress is still progress 🙋🏼‍♂️

You can go with SynthEyes like mentioned in the introduction. It will cost the same but is much more accurate. And you don’t need a complicated rig setup and can use this anywhere as long as you will have a piggy bag camera on your production cam 👌😊

Thanks a lot! Your videos so useful ❤

@@tahauniverse thanks for your comment! As far as I know, there was always a watermark aunless you pay 12 dollars a month like I did 😉 I never mentioned that I used free version. Sorry for the confusion 🙋🏼‍♂️

Thank you very much 😊 no unfortunately I don’t have time for this due to the fact I have a regular full time job ✌️ but I’m pretty sure you can be a great self taught artist, like we all seem to be these days as the knowledge is free everywhere 😊

@@Thies_Gruenewald Ahh I see, completely understandable, I just felt a bit stuck and thought, could really have your expert help, but no worries :)

@@asahinaize you are using the addon, right? open up a new blender file and try to import your sequence inside of the new blender file again! That will work! Than you can copy your camera and image plane into your existing project 🙋🏼‍♂️😊

@@Thies_Gruenewald Hello, thanks for your reply. I fixed it by uninstalling and installing blender, then I re-install the plug-in and it works for me!

@ great news 😊 but this error occurs randomly all the time with the plugin. Next time try my method 🙋🏼‍♂️☺️

@@nerdworld0721 I think this is not important. What ever you feel more comfortable with! Important is only the pc specs so that all your software can run smoothly! I am a windows guy 🤷‍♂️

@@Dr.youceflh that problem is a little bit more complicated. do you have black frames in your output directory too? Do you use the addon from Switchlight?

@Thies_Gruenewald so I used background removel from switch light studio and them i used that option of giving me pbr and switch light studio give me albedo images black

​@@Thies_Gruenewaldso I used background remove from switch light studio then I used them to get pbr file and it give black images in albedo images output

@ when your albedo is black, than the PBR process didn’t work! Repeat the PBR workflow and ensure that your source footage has an alpha channel (PNG or TIFF works good with RGBA). Ones you have a result inside of your albedo folder, everything will work in blender as well 👍

@@Thies_Gruenewaldhow i ensure that your source footage has an alpha channel please help me and thank u so much

Thanks for your kind words 😊🙋🏼‍♂️

@@toshioshiro9962 thank you once again for your support man 😊🙋🏼‍♂️

@@Sandro_Ge0 thanks for your kind words 😊 the export is pretty straightforward: Eevee (version 4.1, so the old version), ambient occlusion, screen space Reflection with refraction and trace precision on 1. motion blur and bloom. Sample rate between 64 or 128. nothing fancy. Camera settings with depth of field and a little bit of tweaking with ratio and blades 🙋🏼‍♂️😊

@@Thies_Gruenewald Thank you very much. ❤

@@Chikalalala you Welcome 😊 good luck for your journey and don’t hesitate to ask 🙋🏼‍♂️

@@GAMOLER good question, i really don’t know 🤔

Thanks for your comment 🙋🏼‍♂️😊 Yep, Working in UE from time to time, but not with Switchlight yet. But there are some tutorials out there on this specific topic, if this is your question 😊

@@nu-beings where is the problem ?

@@Thies_Gruenewald Hey, I made it all the way to the part where you copied the Drivers and then I foundout mine didn't have drivers. I tried assigning drivers and then copying those and pasting them but it didn't make any difference. I have figured out a way to rig the character though using the knowledge I gained from your video and a few others. Just by piecing information together. I now have the ARP Quick rig on the body with the ARP Face rig on the head. Mouth opens and everything looks pretty good. Next will be attempting to rig the FaceIt on top of the ARP Face rig so I can have the ARKit blendshapes.

@ ah okay, that is the reason you don’t see any drivers, because face it will work through drivers! The addon will take the existing blend shapes and turn This in a workable control rig! Maybe the. You will have to re do the step with the drivers! But having a body rig and workable blend shapes is a good first step! Keep me updated ✌️

@ I will let you know how it goes! Thank you!

Thank you very much 😊🙋🏼‍♂️

@@thiigouveia hey thanks for your kind words 😊 nice to hear, that my content can give you a starting point for your own projects 😊 haha I will do my very best to keep up with some tutorials, but I‘m pretty sure that you will go your way anyway, sounds promising and I wish you all the best! Greetings from another old man here in Germany 🙋🏼‍♂️

@@Thies_Gruenewald Maybe someday we will produce something together! Who knows? LOL, but, dude, it's true, Im watching and rewatching your videos the past five days, and Im really looking for someone who teachs about it. Thanks

@ give me a call once you have a greenlit project from a major studio 😊 until there let’s grow together and make more stuff to learn to get better! Thank you once again for your support!😊

Thanks for the hint, but I think this is part of the game, isn’t it? By the time I share free information on the internet, some one can take this idea and make it his or her own. Unless the would use my footage, that would be something else 🤷‍♂️

@@Thies_Gruenewald Yeah they literally used your footage sadly. Can't find the link anymore, just stumbled on your real video by accident. It had lots of likes and I assume the livestream will literally just be your video. Annoying. ContentID on KZbin is pretty good with this, but on TikTok its wild west.

@ wow that’s crazy! Let’s hope that TikTok algorithm was smart enough to detect this crime after a while. Still like you already mentioned, it is Wild West at the moment 🫠

Haha it will work exactly the same because it is a PBR material my friend! But Arnold or octane will render out similar results 🤷‍♂️😊

@@GIGAproductie that happens, when your timeline in after effects doesn’t start at frame 0. Skip through your timeline in blender until you see your footage! And for the next clip ensure that your frame start is at 0 🙋🏼‍♂️😊

@@nagymet that happens, when your timeline in after effects doesn’t start at frame 0. Skip through your timeline in blender until you see your footage! And for the next clip ensure that your frame start is at 0 🙋🏼‍♂️😊

@@inteligenciafutura hopefully this is helpful for you 😊🙋🏼‍♂️

But Inside your Switchlight folder you see your footage in the albedo, normal, occlusion etc? First, try to import your maps manually starting with the albedo maps. Ensure that your maps are set to image sequence. When you see your footage and it is not pink continue with the other maps. Otherwise render out your footage again via Switchlight. Did you try out my test footage from the second video ? (With the castle and the sword fight?)

@@rohitwaliya8821 haha thanks for your support 🙋🏼‍♂️😊

@@Sparklingstudio22 yes! This is happening when your after effects timeline didn’t start at frame 0. skip through the timeline in your blender project until you see your footage! And for the next time ensure, that your greenscreen clip will start at 0 frame! 😊🙋🏼‍♂️

@@BabaBachiOG you Need rgb + Alpha Channel! Rgb is your preykeyed footage otherwithse you would only see black frames:) and Switchlight needs the alpha information in order to transform this correctly into PBR Maps 🙋🏼‍♂️

@@bautidd2 Inside of Switchlight scroll down to the bottom and download the plugin. Than install it the usual way like all other blender addons 😊✌️

@Thies_Gruenewald I Love u

@Thies_Gruenewald marry Christmas

@@bautidd2 merry christmas my friend! Enjoy the holidays 😊

@@duchmais7120 thank you very much! Hopefully this is helpful for you 🙋🏼‍♂️😊

Its a Little bit complicated as you can see. That plan was to end in blender as my target software. I wanted CC4 because of the weights and wrinkle maps, I wanted zbrush and therefore zwrap for the extra pore and micro details. But now they introduced the free base meshes so I would sculpt in blender and would use faceform for the 3d Scan, The Main point here : show me a rig inside of blender with controllable wrinkles. That is the main deal 🤭✌️

@@MindblowQuotesOh wow, thanks for your kind words my friend 😊

Thanks for your support man 😊✌️

That would be cool 😊 5 min took me appro. One month 🤷‍♂️

@@gabrieledentice6771this is when your after effects timeline didn’t start at frame 0. skip through the timeline until you see your video 😊🙋🏼‍♂️

@@pasdedeux0200 thank you 😊

@@Ali-df6oc haha 😂 I think there will be an Info Mail for all major studios. Give it shoot and give me a call if you have a job for me 🙏😊

@@Ali-df6oc haha maybe at the end it will that simple. You‘ll never know until you try 🫣🤪 let’s be good at our jobs, maybe life comes into play 😊

@@Thies_Gruenewald Who do you work for as a good designer? Do you attend the cinema?😅

Thanks for your comment 😊✌️ good to hear that you were able to follow along. It’s a complicated topic, so I was not quite sure about the video 🙈

I went to Beeble's Discord server and the support says that the issue might be hardware-related

It is the second time that I hear about the problem. I was wondering whether your files are black in blender or in your normal window folder too? So tell me about your pc specs?

So keep me up to date please 😊🙏

@@Thies_Gruenewald the windows folders are full of black silhouettes, except the "key" folder. I have an AMD Ryzen 7 4800H, a gtx 1650 ti and 16gb of ram. However, support said there will be updates to fix the problem

@ thanks for the update. Did re-process another file inside of Switchlight? Or you can download my Textfiles from the medical scene and test, whether these work for you 🤔

@@3dd205 thanks for your comment. Yeah I ran into the same problem. A few years back I shooted a Film with a lot of planned vfx shots. But the whole project failed because I was not able to track it by any means. So that was a hard lesson. But jetset also has it limitations and downfalls, it is not the overall solution, so it is good to have a plan b 😅😊

@@Thies_Gruenewald Have you ever thought about using the same tools only in Unreal Engine? The engine is progressing very well and your skill in combination with it will give you unlimited results. I don't disparage Blender, I love it, each has its own advantages.

@@3dd205 haha you Name it 😊 but I’m working with meta humans, so unreal engine and houdini is on my list 😊

@@Thies_Gruenewald wow! then we are waiting for a cinematic with chromakey in UE5 from you.

@@jeewal Yeah totally, but there is no need for a green background, because you want to isolate your talent from the bg, right? 😅you can also use AI for background removal (for example switchlight) if the rotobrush is not good enough 🙋🏼‍♂️

Thanks Alexander 🙋🏼‍♂️😊

@@flathmann thank you 🙏

So you see your file in the blender viewport, but once you hit render it turns black ?! Or is it black overall? If this is the case re-render your images in Switchlight. When just the render turns black in blender, is has something to do with your settings in eevee! Give me a little bit more details 😊

@@Thies_Gruenewald well when i hit render ob blender, it just the subject silhouette, its like only alpha channel but not rgb when render. but on AE i render png sequence RGB+Alpha. idk what i did wrong

@ hmm difficult 🤔 if you see the silhouette than maybe your key map is not correctly setup. Did you use the addon or set up the PBR Material manually?

@@Thies_Gruenewald addon idk about manually, i followed your step

@@gitulah2567 hmm please try a second file or download my example files from other video (with the medival guys fighting) and check whether this problems occurs there again! Sometimes it is just a one time bug 🤷‍♂️

Thanks a lot 😊
