Using physics simulation to animate a realistic FPV camera in Blender! | AD: Right now, the first 500 people to use my link will get a one-month free trial of Skillshare: skl.sh/polyfjord11231
In this video we'll be using Blender's Rigid Body tools to drive a physics simulation that animates a realistic FPV drone camera in Blender! This tutorial covers the entire process from start to finish, with an extra in-depth segment about how Blender's compositor can be used to add a vintage digital camera look to our render.

You can also add positive force field to the trees so your drone auto avoids crashing into them

I've been using blender for the past 5 years and I can say I'm pretty good at it. Yet somehow, I ALWAYS learn something new from your videos, no matter what. Your workflow is incredibly creative, I adore it ❤

Needs a little camera banking at turns, don't you think? Nevertheless, an awesome tutorial especially building in all those 'imperfections' to make it so real.

wow this is absolutely brilliant! I always watch these tutorials even after 3 years in 3D, always something to learn!

@Shattered3582 4 ай бұрын

what i love about this method is how flexible it is. i will try out the example first, but i can really see myself using this for other camera shots as well. i am a blender noob and i love how your videos are a more trial and error style tutorial, which gives some trouble shooting practice.

I used to build and race FPV drones and this definitely looks and feels like it did back in the 3cell days. Even ending the video right before it looks like it is going to hit a tree. Great work.

As an FPV racer, it is so awesome to see stuff like this! Love it What would be the cherry on top is to add the digital OSD screen that is used by almost all FPV drones, called the betaflight OSD to the final file - this would make it practically indistinguishable to an uninformed viewer haha

It's really cool the way you can make it that much smooth ! Well done ! The only thing missing is some roll movement because the drone is always horizontally flat.

not sure how anyone would even begin to attempt this, but making the "propellers" of the drone effect the leaves would really sell it

@MichaelSoluyanov Күн бұрын

You can use motion path to preview a path of baked camera movement. It would be easier to place objects in the scene.

@dts_user1389 3 ай бұрын

I think you've watched very little FPV from looking at this motion. Usually, the drone tilts in to the direction of the yaw. That way, it can use the propellors a lot more efficiently and turn faster. A drone that's sitting horizontal can only yaw slowly as it works by differential speeds of the counterrotating propellers. The actual thrust is wasted. At an angle, a difference in thrust can actually be used. 👍 Edit: Criticism aside, I do appreciate all your expertise and sharing these awesome tutorials with the community. Cheers!
