@@IanHubert2 In the the game Obduction from Cyan Worlds (the people who made Myst) they've been experimenting with VR, and because all of their human characters have always been live action footage they've been getting pretty creative with how they display it. They're shooting it with stereoscopic 3D and placing them as holograms in some spots, and in one area a character is behind a locked bunker door so you only see him through a porthole. It's simple, but convincing in practice.

[@SpencerMagnusson]

In case anyone is wondering about the edge kernels in the keying node: it looks at pixels and uses contrast to determine if it's an edge of a matte. • Edge Kernel Radius - the radius in pixel used to detect an edge (how far to look around a pixel to determine edges) • Edge Kernel Tolerance - if the difference between pixel colors is higher than this threshold, then the point will be considered an edge

Today I learned, after having used Blender for two years, there's freakin' roto tools. It keeps growing on me, literally! Thx for super fun and valuable tutorial! :)

[@klontjespap]

if you have used blender for 2 weeks, it's already outdated man ;) the release schedule is absolutely insane nowadays, and i honestly don't see how some more industry-standard software can keep up with that for longer than 2 years, they saw right in making a long-term support version for blender, as this kind of rapid updating would make many a person nervous just the same, "don't fix it if it ain't broken" doesn't apply all that well to blender, it's in a perpetual quantum state of both broken and fixed simultaneously. sure the tools are implemented first, then fixed up later, they are by no means as perfected as industry standard tools, but that has always been the blender principle, features first, polish later, and any avid blender user can tell you there's an addon for just about any gap you need to fill (like animation nodes for mograph) that's why it's still full of old code that gets revised when the time comes, feature creep doesn't have to be a bad thing when the thing still only weighs in at 150 MB total packed, they now have more resources to revise things than ever with absolute tech big shots using blender and giving back.

i've never installed blender. i don't know the first thing about 3d animation. but these tutorials are teaching me a new appreciation for the basic principles of CGI and film that i never had (and never knew where to start looking to even begin learning). so even though i will never use the techniques you're teaching, thanks for teaching me a little about the magic tricks behind the movies i watch. (also i love the goofy dystopia worldbuilding in all your videos. "brutal oasis dentist and daycare" and all that's implied by its oddly specific name is hilarious.)

[@jinchoung]

that is amazing and probably past the point of compehensibility for the go fast style. left in the dust. but still good! EDIT: ok... I watched the alpha channeled girl walking around part like twenty times and I think I finally understand what you're doing. so it seems the only thing you're doing manually is changing the scale on the plane so that the feet stay on the ground plane. this has the effect of moving the girl/plane on the z axis (blender's y axis). what was not clear to me was how you animated her walking around in 3d space. but it seems that that is gotten for free because the camera that the image plane is constrained to is animated itself and contains the CAMERA TRACKING information for the shot. so your scaling would translate the plane and the walking girl in the z axis (blender's y axis) while the camera track motion would cause the camera (and therefore the parented plane with the girl) along the x axis. holy fucking shit, how did you figure this workflow out?!? this might be completely novel and INVENTED BY YOU! coin it man! plant your flag! IHFPT - Ian Hubert Footage Plane Traversal? HIPT - Hubert Image Plane Traversal? HuMP - Hubert's Magic Plane? IMP - Ian's Magic Plane! and yeah, the ability to come up with a solution like this probably only came about because you're using a program where 3d modeling, compositing and tracking can all exist holistically in the same program. this workflow would be unthinkable in after effects. it's doable in maya and nuke but many of the techniques you used are somewhat deprecated functions so it would be surprising if someone came up with this in those programs. mind. blown. srsly, you're like a one man tour de force ambassador for blender to the wider vfx community. legendary.

[@clayanderson3567]

That's Ian for you ;) Amazing tricks as always, especially at 3:55 I really didn't see that coming ;) Little trick at 2:20 : you can directly enter the dimensions of your original shot you want to project in the aspectX / aspectY fields (e.g 1920 in aspectX and 1080 in aspectY) and blender will do the rest for you. Another stuff that just came up my mind by the way (I didn't try it yet so to be frank that's just a theory ;)) : uv projector modifier actually supports several projectors and is picking for a given face the projector whose Z axis is the most aligned with the face normal. Basically that means that for static stuff like the side of the table or the wall at 2:25 that looks crappy when the camera moves to the side (because it was not visible in the original footage), all it takes to clean that is to simultaneously record another sequence from the side, track it, align it with the existing scene and add the newly inserted camera as a secondary projector (no need to be synchronized in time if there's no moving object) ;) In fact ! I wonder if technically we couldn't have 3 guys recording at the same time the subject at around 45° angle from each other (so the 3 of them forming a 90° angle), roto the subject out of the 3 recordings, insert those in the actual scene as 3 movie planes the same way it's done here (so each plane should cross and end up forming a 45° angle with each other) and have a nice shader formula to alpha blend them over according to the actual camera angle (the more angle a face normal has with the camera the more transparent it becomes) => that should almost give a 90° freedom to the virtual camera maybe ?

[@IanHubert2]

AH! Entering the resolution for the ratio! That's really clever! ALSO WAIT WHAT- That's amazing!!! I had no idea it could support several projectors! Yeah, that'd be wild!! I was talking with someone about a script they made that could line up different scans/tracks- you just need to make sure you track the same spot in each view! That'd be a crazy shot :D ALTHOUGH- none of this would really be able to deal with a human subject (unless if they're leaning against a wall or something), so I guess now we're in the realm of a do-it-by-hand photoscan, but with real video textures?? Could be really cool in a situation with really dynamic lighting (maybe a time-lapse??)- a lot to think about, for sure!! I always wanted to shoot a kinda cyberpunkery-detective scene (for a film or a video game) where a guy's in a holodeck type scenario, and he starts with like one security camera feed, and he has to explore it until he find another device's video feed to add to it, and he keeps combining all these different devices into a total view of the environment so he can solve the mystery- this could be great for that! (Although I think they already did a very similar thing in Iron Man 3? I remember thinking, "oh no it's my cyberpunk detective ideaaaaa") Thanks for all those thoughts!

Why edit? Bathtubs are cheap (if they don't work). Rockets are more expensive but worth it for the final result.

Holy crap! These methods open up a n entire world of possibilities I never considered because of perceived cost.

Coming back to these after EP 1 is fun to see all the scenes from these finally coming into existence as a single episode

Uh OK, yes, this is way better than my green screen tutorial that I did parodying your style.

[@PiersonMason]

Still learned a couple things from yours! Also cool to see you're a fan of sir Hubert as well 👌

Haven't seen it yet, but it's hard to believe it's not 3 hours long. :D

Virtual production must've just caught Blender and Unreal off guard because both are ridiculously complicated to do something so simple as slap a video into an environment and stick it to the ground. This video and all the hundreds of steps to do it proves the point.

Damn I can’t believe this video tutorial is free. This is like a whole course and you’re giving it away for free. Why have you chosen to bless us mere peasants with your vast knowledge?

My mind was blown so many times - easy focal length and camera move changes in post?! Interactive shadows, reflections, and lighting from 2D footage?!?! Easily tracking masks to footage?!?!?! (No need to apologize, it's honestly extremely mildly inconvenient in After Effects)

I know right??? Like, most of the keying/masking IS slightly easier in AE, but that bit is so nice!

@@tanner6423 WOW that must be some of the most ignorant comment. In todays world you can get a mirrorless camera for 1500 usd that would be world apart from a phone. I am a Nikon user but anyone can get a 10 bit high bitrate 4k Fuji XT3 with a lens. A camera that will get you artefact free high bitrate so much less compression than those phones. Anyone could get one of these second hand for less than 1k, another great advantage for green screen work is low light capability. For green screen work, light is very important and a camera will give you much better Iso, so much lower light budget because those phones will be noisy as hell.

[@p4inmaker]

@@danielvilliers612 He does kind of have a point, most people get too hung up on the gear. A higher end phone could get you a long way if you actually tried. That's 1000 bucks you don't have to spend on just a camera, but on a device that can do just about anything. People are better off actually doing and learning things on mediocre equipment than putting it off until they have the good stuff.
