TUTORIAL: VFX with scale models - part2

[@IndependentVFX]

Thanks! Its great to know that these techniques translate to other packages and these principles will work in any compositing program.

[@johnkennedyrobles4551]

The best youtube channel for CGI VFX video tutorial for free, thanks men, your tutorial videos are really awesome! Please make more. :)

[@IndependentVFX]

John Kennedy Robles Thank you!

[@SamCAviation]

Awesome work! I'm loving these tutorials. I think I'm going to purchase Element 3D tomorrow and start work on a project similar to this of my own! Again, amazing job, and I can't wait for part 3!

[@IndependentVFX]

Thanks LMDigital! Yep, gotta post them before the work day gets under way.

[@AllanGildea]

stunning results, absolutely convincing, subscribed. Excellent teaching too! Thank you.

[@IndependentVFX]

Allan Gildea Thanks for the comment!

[@IndependentVFX]

Nice one George! Please keep me updated and post the video when its done. Would love to see it.

[@amhater]

Nice. Although I would say it'd be easier to paint the rod that holds the helicopter a bright green and just key it out. Saves time -imo... Nice work tho.

[@Daelmyth]

"Frame by painful frame." Indeed! But even though its painstaking, its worth it for the final outcome. Tedious, but very beneficial in the end.

[@AshrafEzzat]

Very educational and concise. keep them coming. We expect more techniques and tutorials. you certainly have a new subscriber from EGYPT!

[@IndependentVFX]

Thanks Ashraf! And greetings from South Africa! Please share this channel with the film making community in Egypt, thanks for your comment.

[@lillolodi]

I think this tutorial is absolutelly GREAT!!! thank you for it! you can show that green screen is not Always the best way for visual effects and that models is a good way to realize a good visual effects!

[@writercmdavis]

You just earned a subscriber. Great tutorial. I use Hitfilm but will be able to use the same techniques. Thank you so much.

[@timefilm]

Flippin amazing work

[@IndependentVFX]

Im a commercials director, living in Cape Town. But Im fairly new to the directing world, Ive spent the last 10 years doing post production and VFX (using After Effects mostly).

[@MrJoepeach]

@tekarts. Last time I checked, It was not about the software, But the Artist. I started on Combustion back in the day and moved over to AE simply because it is the perfect generalist comp system. Nuke is very VFX orientated where AE is way more versatile. There is very little you cant achieve in After Effects.

[@FlowstateFilm]

this tutorial is amazing! but youv got only one on your channel, please make more!

[@SAMYGFX]

Simple , easy , understandable , FANTASTIC :)

[@IndependentVFX]

SAMYGFX Thank you!

[@LMDigitalMovies]

That's nice:), yeah I'm hoping to get into a job similiar to that into the future

[@LMDigitalMovies]

Once again, thank you for these tutorials:), I see you post them nice and early:)

[@joburg76]

Thought i picked up a RSA accent confirmed when you said "ya" great videos and very well explained dankie from Livingston Scotland. Sub and liked

[@IndependentVFX]

George Abernethy Thank you! And yes, 100% correct on the South African accent.

[@obe3]

Absolutely phenomenal man!

[@adarax86]

wow.just wow..i have no words for this. amazing tutorial!.thank you :)

[@IndependentVFX]

NextGen WarriorZ podcast Thanks!

[@IndependentVFX]

Absolutely - that is one of the reasons. If this had been shot on chroma with real world spinning blades then you would have to deal with trying to chroma motion blur. Also... I wasnt going to install a tiny electric motor in the tail of the helicopter to make the tail rotors spin. Seemed easier to go the digital route.

[@AIRWOLFMovie]

Excellent stuff.

[@JOHNYGUNSpoland]

Great work, that's beautiful . You make excellent tutorials and it's really helpful! Greetings from Poland my friend :)

[@IndependentVFX]

Thanks Johnyguns. Right back at you - greetings from Cape Town, South Africa. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@Lunaticobot]

Great tutorial !!

[@ShashiKumar-uu4ft]

Excellent. amazing . fantastic super like this video

[@Moriarty2007]

Thank you Scott!

[@yassermasood3423]

Great video 👍 Quick question please. How did you move the rotor blade whth the helicopter? Because you didn't create any keys to the rotor going up, like the helicopter?

[@maturechristians]

Blender and modeling uhg!! Wish I had the time to learn it. Downloaded Blender, but very complicated. Eventually I'm going to have to buckle down and learn its ins and outs only going to take me about two years + : (

[@devamedia]

very informative good teaching

[@IndependentVFX]

Rahul Iruku Thanks

[@IndependentVFX]

Hahaha! Thanks DarkDigital... thats hillarious. My accent is South African.

[@Oberonjames]

Am I correct in assuming you're using CG rotor blades to avoid complicating the chroma keying? I mean, if I happen to have a model with rotating blades (and a green screen), would it be much harder to work with that than doing it this way?

[@johnrambo6913]

My hind won’t turn, what should I do? I did everything right

[@livehappy3415]

No shadow of rotating blades is visible on Helicopter's shiny pilot's canopy and upper portion of jet-set.

[@CebuLightsandMusic]

You rock man!

[@FlowstateFilm]

awesome! cant wait ;)

[@Jabaliblanco]

Great!

[@SupSupa10]

Thankssssssssssssssssssssssss good luck to your channel

[@Daelmyth]

Sub'd. I'm teaching myself After Effects and can't wait to get Element 3D. I have 3Ds Max, but have been focusing on After Effects so far. One step at a time.

[@IndependentVFX]

Thats great Daelmyth! Welcome to the world of visual effects, you are in for a very interesting, sometimes frustrating, but overall rewarding journey. Would love to see you post your work. Thanks for watching.

[@TheSunnyMachine]

couldn't you make the pole holding the model bright green and key it out; Instead of animating the mask?

[@IndependentVFX]

You are correct! That would have saved some time.

[@capcomVsLeon]

whats your pc specs?? mine pc lagsss :( suggest me good cpu for vfx work in normal budget which work smooth for my vfx work thanks for this amazing tutorial

[@IndependentVFX]

+Nosherwan Adil Im on a macbook pro, but honestly - any PC that can run After Effects will be fine, maybe just slower.

[@ПроектЭВМ]

Super!!!

[@LMDigitalMovies]

Yes, may I ask where and what you do for work:)?

[@yyyyoei4962]

love you ♥

[@almightyrex9798]

this is cool i want to do it write the site u went on

[@IndependentVFX]

No ways tekarts, After Effects is a fantastic tool. Nuke is something else entirely for a more specialized work flow. Nuke is amazing but you cant even compare them. Also Nuke costs A LOT more than After Effects. After Effects is way more flexible than Nuke.

[@italproductionfilmsitalpro7121]

thx for this, please share the helicopter footage

[@meterahero6208]

how much cost this tutorial thanx

[@Filmitvfxstudios]

Amazing stuff +1 subscriber

[@IndependentVFX]

Thanks Carlo!

[@DarkDigitalFilms]

Has anyone told you you sound somewhat like Vickus from District 9?

[@CTZN1]

you click what in 4:06 ? it's cropped

[@IndependentVFX]

+Chris Yahya Right click on the key frames and a drop down menu will come up: Go to Keyframe Assistant > Easy Ease

[@plastimanrock]

How i do it without video copilot 3d elements?

[@IndependentVFX]

Julian - you would either have to do your blades in another 3D package (like Blender) or you would need to shoot the model with real-world rotating blades (using a tiny electric motor).

[@plastimanrock]

Thanks!

[@orlanduce]

LIGHTWAVE!!!!!!!!

[@IndependentVFX]

More tutorials are on the way! Stay tuned

[@tekarts]

Use Nuke or eyeon Fusion!!! After Effects sucks BIG TIME!!!
