Great presentation man. Finally some really serious work and actually this is the bread and butter of vfx. Projections, 3d tracking, set extensions green screen and compositing, add some atmospheric vfx and your good to go. Maxon should concentrate more on vfx then spinning cubes and spheres or other abstract crap. They have a great product and the 3d tracker in c4d is incredibly good and projection man is legendary. After i started using redshift with c4d i really did not touch max for months, senior max user for over 15 years. In the end they are just tools to get our work done but some are a pleasure to use compared to others.

It's like the technique Ian Hubert uses in Blender. I didn't know it was possible in Cinema 4D. It's incredible how the final result was very good.

Cool seeing you here Aaron. I've spent some time on your channel, and it wasn't a surprise you were presenting at Siggraph. Keep up the great work. A question about that green screen footage you were tracking. Would it not have made sense to put way more tracking markers on your green screen? I know a green screen is supposed to be as uniform as possible, so it has to be one of the worst things you could try and track without enough markers on it. You have some tracks on shadows too, and I know they're affected by parallax like reflections. Did you get rid of the tracks on the shadows when you added more manual tracks? This walk-through was very cool BTW.

@VFXCentral 5 жыл бұрын

Chosen Idea I did have some on the green screen. Not a lot. I also wanted different levels of parallax to help the solve :) rather than all on one surface. On my final track I got rid of all the trackers on shadows or reflections;) hope that helps

Great, in the end I found the tutorial I've been looking for ten years ago. Everyone knows it, but nobody tells you what you say in 45 minutes. I am in cinema R22 and I cannot bake for the camera, I followed all the steps. can you help with that

@cahal 5 жыл бұрын

This is a decent presentation, though named incorrectly by Cineversity. Aaron doesn't discuss using redshift for compositing...which is why I came here in the first place.

Awesome tutorial! But I kind of got lost on how he got his keyed-out character inside that "card", on that plane, where the camera follows him. How did create that card?

@natedoesproductions 3 жыл бұрын

@@sivaramakrishnanvenkatasub5253 the character doesn’t “pop out” of the flat plane, the character and the plane are both laying flat. Just put the texture of the character on the plane and rotate the plane to face upward. That was my misconception as well. I thought the character was popping out of the plane but rather they are both correlated. If you watch the video and really look at it again you can see how the character was fit into the scene

This guy talks for OVER 45 minutes without explaining SQUAT. Anything. There's an intense narcissistic speech no one cares about, and then "yeh, so, I dropped this footage here and you know, I'm compositing here" .. "you know".. "not like you almost lost an hour to learn something"

@jameslacey01 5 жыл бұрын

I'm the guy that this course is aimed at. Went to university and just got redirected to online tutorials of which you have to sift through hours upon hours just to find the bit that helps you. I already understand most of what Aaron is talking about in this because I understand all the terminology and am used to the workflow. This probably isn't for complete beginners.
