Which 3D Software Do You Use?🌟 Choosing the right 3D software is crucial for creating mind-blowing visual effects in film. Whether it's Maya, Blender, or UE4, each has its own unique strengths and capabilities. https://lnkd.in/eWAJbC5M If you create 3D Models than do consider becoming a Contributor to our ever expanding library: https://lnkd.in/eWmsY-UZ #VFX #3DModeling #FilmProduction 🚀

As 3D Motion Designer, do everything directly in 3D software is awesome! But it can be very tedious and time consuming. Because a lot of time the render viewport was very different from the end result of the render. So i think, if it is easier doing it in post production.. why not! Just having some render pass, VFX, and Colorgrading and boom something new came out of the pocket! Here some of compositing for my latest work.

Exciting news! I recently incorporated a 3D environment as a background in my video compositing workflow for the first time, and the results were fantastic. Using this workflow, I was able to create an entirely new scene from a different angle without the need for a real studio. I also discovered that some YouTubers have linked the tracking data from their camera to Unreal Engine, allowing for a real-time view of the final results before recording. How amazing is that? If you're interested in achieving similar results, you can use a green screen video with a 3D environment from Blender or another 3D software and match the lighting between the source video and the 3D environment rendered photo with just a bit of compositing. What are your thoughts on this technique? Have you tried it before? Let's chat in the comments!

This project I've been creating during any free time in the last month, as shown in my work I always love creating big detailed scenes in general, but this time I was influenced so much by the city in Black Panther movie beside the amazing nature in Guilin city so, hopefully I could get a close result:) I've used UE5.3 to get the most realistic result possible, as it's one of the main tools for me recently in my VP workflow, so first of all I used Autodesk Maya to block my scene - then moved to assets creation process like some simple buildings modeled in Maya while others were from Kitbash3d and the Terrain generation part was made procedurally inside both Houdini & Gaea. After assets creation I made the final assembly in UE5.3 , Where I also worked a lot on Look-Dev and Set-dressing aspects using Procedural content generation method where about 97% of vegetations, trees, and even river embankments were all totally procedurally set and placed. Same for brown ground vs green areas .. etc" - Also small - mid buildings were procedurally distributed. I used Realtime rendering with Lumen and moved to final comp and DMP to add the BG and finish the final touch-ups inside of Nuke. "and yes I integrated and mixed both Real-time and DMP/Compositing workflow at the same time ..that was so good" I enjoyed the fantastic procedural workflow inside of UE and I'm sure there's still a lot of epic stuff from Epic will show up soon as they develop the procedural workflow to be more artist-friendly. I hope I could briefly cover how this was created in general and I hope you all like it:) - Thanks.

For the longest time, I’ve wanted to create VFX shots in Blender, but there was one major obstacle: I didn’t have a green screen studio or professional lighting setup. But I wasn’t going to let that stop me. I decided to start simple, with minimal movement. After shooting, another challenge emerged: How do I remove the background smoothly? With a green screen, it would have been a one-click process, but in my case, I had to get creative and use the Kofo magic ✨😉 (If you know of any software that removes video backgrounds without a green screen, I’m open to suggestions!) Once that hurdle was cleared, the next step—creating the environment in Blender—was a breeze thanks to my Archviz and 3D modeling experience. A few animations later, here are the final results 💯 Tell me what you think in the comments! 🤝 #VFX #Blender3D #3DAnimation #CreativeSolutions #Archviz PS: Did you notice, I was the one sitting

"In the best way, this job was a really challenging puzzle," says Cultivate's Jon Schwartz about this spot for Nevada Energy, created by R&R Partners/Las Vegas. "We previz'd the entire spot beforehand in Blender and immediately began figuring out how to make those shots a reality. Given how much our characters in the spot are interacting with letters that are fully CG elements, we knew that precision was key to making sure these 3D letters and words looked like they were truly in the scene. "In our 3D software, we measured each and every word so that our art department would be able to create the practical elements that our talent would interact with and that everything would properly align. For example, there are several scenes where our characters lift up large 3D block letters. In reality, they were usually lifting one small piece of wood or foam core, and it was really important to me that we knew what our talent would be grabbing onto once that practical piece was transformed into a CG letter. "We did things like that for almost every shot, ad-nauseum, but, when we got to watch it all come together in post, it was extremely gratifying. "On top of all of that, we also shot with a motion control arm to inject the spot with as much dynamic and interesting movement as possible. That was crucial for making sure our CG letters had dimensionality, but added another layer of difficulty when aligning things with our previz. To keep track of where our CG objects were on the day of our shoot, we first created a grid in our previz software that eventually translated to our real world set. This ensured that we always knew where our CG letters were, even when we couldn't actually see them on the physical set. "Without my DP, Patrick Ouziel, and VFX Artist, Joey Deutsch, sitting with me for hours on Zoom during the previz process, none of this would have been remotely possible." #Previz #VFX #commercialproduction #commercialdirectors
