How to place yourself in a 3d environment - VFX BREAKDOWN

[@KevinVandermarliere]

Hi everyone! I’m amazed by the amount of response and attention this video got. You guys are awesome, let’s grow this community.🙌🏻 I’m currently working on some 3D projects where I will do a full breakdown on how to make ultra realistic scenes with CGI. So more content coming later this year!

Awesome bro... i was just looking for this. 99 percent green screen on KZbin is totally not upto the mark. They are shallow and you can easily make out. Your one is the best as you have integrated in 3d environment.

[@KevinVandermarliere]

Thank you! I try my best to make it look real. Extra effort is key.

[@KaiVertigoh]

Heck yeah Kevin!! It’s impressive just how much effort you put into modeling and detailing the subway from scratch. You’re crazy talented, and it’s always extra dope to see bboys stretching their limits in other mediums too! Keep it up man 👏

[@sk8luv33films]

the way you're shooting straight to the point and giving simple breakdown helps people understand the overall picture. 🔥🔥🔥

[@IAmNumberFIVE]

I've only recently started making content and found that I really have a passion for this stuff, unpolished as my stuff is currently but seeing what's possible is so damn inspiring! Thanks so much for this video Kevin! I'm hoping to be halfway decent with this stuff in a year or so!😃

[@KevinVandermarliere]

Glad to hear that! It's a lot of fun to learn and create this for sure:) Keep it up man

[@AdventuresInVideo]

Hey, man, this was a great video! I need to learn more about this stuff for a project I'm working on, but I'm struggling to find the time necessary to learn Blender well enough to get photorealistic results. I appreciate you taking the time to put this video together, though. Every bit of information helps!

[@KevinVandermarliere]

Thank you! I don’t know much about Blender but the principle is the same, to create photorealistic results you need to focus on these things: lighting, high res detailed texturing, color & rendering (ray traced). It’s a recreation of the real world so every little detail counts. Of course in real world there is an insane amount of detail but at some point it looks good enough to be (photoreal). Practice and repetition will get you there I’m sure:) good luck with the project!

[@Tricycloe]

I’m a very new blender user but something I’ve found to be important in the photorealism process is filmic log color processing instead of the default srgb. Might be worth checking out if you haven’t yet!

You are a legend for making this video. At 2:05 I noticed their is something under the greenscreen. I am having trouble filming greenscreen whilst performing moves it keeps on moving and getting creases. What is that under the greenscreen? Lino, plastic?? When you did the greenscreen stay in place throughout your bboying moves?

[@KevinVandermarliere]

We used green paper for this. It's not ideal because after a while it gets holes and creases. I recommend a Vinyl/ Lino floor for Breaking/Dancing. :) Good luck!

You can use the native render or another render engine. Or use unreal engine. So many options.

[@soncho.editz1]

@@KevinVandermarliere oh thanks very much you’ve put my mind at ease 😂😂 now I can work with no issues

[@PalmaFx]

how did you import the sequence into c4d??

[@KevinVandermarliere]

First export the video in a png sequence, also export in alpha. In Cinema 4d add a material and place your png sequence & alpha sequence in the image texture. Plug it into the “diffuse” layer and make sure it doesn’t have any roughness or effects aplied to the material. Then plug your alpha sequence in the “opacity.” Then create a plane (object) the size of your footage resolution and drag your material on to that plane. Hope this makes sense! :)

[@Nickknows00]

Dude this really didn’t explain half of it? You can’t just upload the mp4 onto a plane you to need to export as image sequence, then add the image sequence to flat plane that that always faces the camera, and even then getting the image sequence to play is a headache? If your going to create tutorial why not actually show all the steps…? This video is literally the equivalent of how to the draw an owl meme: step1. Draw two circles, step2 finish the owl

[@KevinVandermarliere]

[@craigbaker6382]

Lacking clarity for some people here: HIGH Shutter angle" sounds like LONG exposure time (bigger numerical value) but a HIGH SHUTTER "angle" number is a HIGH ACUTENESS resulting in a LOW NUMBER of DEGREES so 180 deg. shutter too LONG and exposure time and thus TOO much blur per frame. The number 180 Deg. is a high NUMERICAL value but the angle is itself too large in degrees 60deg. shutter angle results in a LOW exposure time with a LOW number describing the degrees of opening. So in short I would not say HIGH SHUTTER but rather a very small shutter ANGLE . A Shutter SPEED , because it is usually expressed as a FRACTION (1 / 50th or one fiftieth vs 1/ 2000th etc.) can be a high numerical value of speed of opening before closing again - this wants to be a HIGH number (Shutter) but a VERY LOW shutter ANGLE (which a short shutter TIME will have) In case people are upset with your recommendation of a "High shutter" to achieve LESS blur. Your results are pretty good BUT BUT Please do not succumb ,as too many do, to adding the EXTREME chromatic aberation you exhibit at the end. There are ADDON FILTER makers and companies that keep selling the idea that all this colour fringing at the edges is desirable ...because it looks "REAL" . I don't know how much cocaine they are doing but ignore them. Tiny amounts perhaps. Modern real glass lenses are pretty good. If you need a distracting level of circus clown colour fringing to distract from the other elements to achieve "realism" then I suggest you are doing something wrong.
