Virtual production with Shadows and Reflections in Blender

[@manashdas6540]

you are the Master of Universe of Blender..... thanks a lot my Lord

[@unrealab]

Thank you!!! But you are too generous!! We only use Blender for specific purposes! 😆

[@decorjp3d134]

Very Useful. Very clear and good explanations, even for a french guy. Thanks.

If you don't see the copy attributes menu that he has you have to go to edit and preferences and install the copy attributes add on it's already in there you just gotta search for copy then click the little tick box next to copy attributes

Thank u so much, pls continue these kind of videos...😢

[@Scanron]

at around 7 min of the video, i cannot scale the image plane to move in the z direction. it just do the simple resize on the same position. i wonder how you did it. could you please give more details? thank you

[@yunzhang4614]

Thanks a lot! but how can I do in Cinema 4D😅 The plane to camera is the same technique. Maybe I should try keyframe it

[@AlexisRivera3D]

Do you know where to get green screen templates for practicing?

[@unrealab]

Hi, just in these days we produced some green screen footage that will be available soon

[@AlexisRivera3D]

@@unrealab that's great thank you

Necesitaba algo así, gracias por el video.

[@csguru8211]

Thanks a lot for creating these tutorials

[@projectmorfeo8451]

I do something quite similar in Unity, but - while I am able to bring a plane with the keyed video, and a real time light do cast a shadow, the feet is my problem. The shadow does not conect properly at the feet.

[@BlockenDelete]

thank you.but i have a question please can you put a video for reflection from green screen. I don't understand very well please

[@Derny.]

nice video. i like it. i do the greenscreening with reflections in blender a bit different: first, I do the tracking part and import the image as plane. as same as yours, but I set the texture coordinate node from the movie on window, so it fillup automatically the full screen. the good part of my method ist, that you can deform the plane as you want. like making her real-life walking kurve with the plane. this way the reflection are looking better. or for better reflection i dublicate the greenscreen movie and turn on the first one the shadows and the glossynes. so my feets are not being cut. with the duplicate, i turn off the just the camera visibility, so the shadows and the reflection of the copy are visible. then i move the copy way back. so the reflections and the shadows are more connected to the person. you should try it out. sorry for my bad English. i hope you understand my method :)

[@unrealab]

Thank you Derny, I surely will try also your workflow!

[@earthmatters2869]

You are right bro

[@toapyandfriends]

How do you make your voice over so awesome or are you just one of those announcer kind of people that have the good voice

[@aaavfx7807]

Bro thank you so much really helped me a lot

[@blackman96ify]

When I try to scale to match the ground it just scales up the image plane in viewport

Tip top sir

[@byroncos]

Is there a way to get same result using eevee?

[@elbedouirayen7938]

please after adding reflection and u gonaexport it to use it on after effect how can u keep reflection but remove character to add it on after effect?

[@unrealab]

But in this case you have to export from Blender both shadows and character, as the character is placed as an image plane direclty inside Blender

[@elbedouirayen7938]

@@unrealab but when i export in blender the character be like transparent

[@Gabriela-py6xz]

Great tutorial

[@MASTERMIND-re2zu]

please provide the real footage link

[@kanohane]

I just wanna know how he made water?

[@S9universe]

roughness 0, transmission 1.. then check how to displace it if u wanna make it move

[@agaerialcinematics1489]

Must be careful about the keyframing of the image plane size. There are two times where the shadow noticibly jumps in the reflection of the foot in the water towards the top right corner shortly after she steps up. I am pretty sure it's a keyframing issue and perhaps could be softened or eliminated by adjusting the interpolation handle of those keyframes to soften the movement.

[@unrealab]

Hello, thank you, yes I know there are these issues in the tracking :) But consider that the footage and compositings you see in our channel are created specifically for these tutorials, so unfortunately we don't have much time to refine everything, we have to work for our clients :) There are a lot of imperfections in our tutorials, bu the purpose of them is simply to show the main concepts and workflow that we use in our work.

Well done and well explained. I made several short films using this technique. Would love your opinion on them. Keep up the great content. Subscribed

Is this possible to do on MacBook?

yes sure, it is not related to the platform but only Blender itself
