Quick Update and Camera Motion Tut (Patreon)
Content
This is just a quick tutorial on how to start creating a library of real-life camera movements, so you don't have to emulate stuff with noise modifiers. Maybe useful to someone out there!
ALSO you can super hear the GPU grinding as I tweak the eevee renders. Gotta see if there's anything I can do about that :/
I'm in a weird state where I'm working on a ton of stuff I'm excited to share, but not sharing any of it- I think I'm overthinking stuff (I tend to do that). But I'm excited! I've got like a dozen photoscanned background characters I've been talking about, and I'm getting them all set up and ready to go (worked a bunch on it today), and the Rokoko motion capture suit at 100%, so I can get a ton of random "cyber townsfolk" type animations you can easily slap onto the characters (remember you let me know if there's anything specific you'd need!) HUGE thanks to Manuel Czepok for showing me the final steps I had to use to get the mocap/rig to gel nicely! I think I finally have a solid pipeline from photoscan to finished rigged mocap-ready character :D That said, it's... it's an intense pipeline. Going to take a couple days, probably.
Also in the video above are a bunch of plants/foliage and stuff- I'm going to be uploading that real quick here! I've been having a blast with them.
I also have a lighting tutorial that I just need to put like the last two minutes on- we'll see how that goes, haha
Did a quick experiment with the Sketchfab CC0 Public Domain collection- turned out fun! Came together ridiculously fast. It's a great resource. Thanks so much to Blake for sending me the link, and whoever posted it on the Discord in the first place!! I have scenes I want to do in the future involving lots of flying over natural landscapes like this, and this got me super pumped about the possibilities (especially combined with some plant models and such).
Tomorrow I'm shooting the very last few shots I need for ep1 of Dynamo Dream. Then we'll have picture lock and I can get sound going and start polishing stuff up! We'll see how long it takes in real life, but in my head I'm super close to done, hahaha
OH! And I made a vending machine for the succulents! Still not sure what I'm going to do with it, but I like how it turned out :D.
I put this next render together as a possible front to the vending machine I have here in the church- maybe getting it printed on acrylic or something. That said, now I'm thinking that a big bold graphic might be better (and less meta)- like a Mellow Yellow color scheme or something. I dunno. I'm indecisive.
