#compositing
Today the #vfx supervisor did it again...
my #cosplay at the #comics that took place in #Asti, #Italy ^^
(Very rough #compositing, not intended as professional work, just for #fun)

There will be a bonus @cgcookie #livestream this week, Tuesday night 9pm GMT-4 yes, this is a great time for Europe! So if you've been wanting to catch one of these live but couldn't, now is your chance! I will be discussing #freestyle and #compositing in #blender3d https://www.youtube.com/live/jW1TLmoPhHs?feature=share
A Google Earth Engine application for computation, visualization, calibration, and download of the Best Available Pixel (BPA) image compositing of surface reflectance values #compositing
I was reading about the new Pixar RenderMan 25 and spotted info about Gaffer. The logo seems familiar, but I can't say I ever researched it before. It appears to be a free, open-source, scene-management tool like Foundry's #Katana.

💡 "Track Anything" is making waves today, but I don't see any posts about it on Mastodon or Spoutible
If the Mastodon social media platform is to thrive, especially in the tech field, you need to get your colleagues posting on it. For now, they remain on Twitter 🤨

You can actually mess with the #Nuke GUI a lot using Qt. The blog of Erwan Leroy (https://erwanleroy.com/blog/) shows you how: overlay widgets onto the node graph, add custom widgets as knobs to Nuke nodes... wow!
I especially like his "scale tree" feature and it's quite easy to just use parts of his toolset in your pipeline. Its code is on github (https://github.com/herronelou/nuke_nodegraph_utils/tree/main/node_graph_utils)
In this short free #Blender tutorial I explain you how to combine a color and an alpha image to be used as a bitmap with transparency (Alpha channel). Then you'll learn how to save the result to a PNG file or other alpha compatible file format.
https://youtu.be/_rIMauLzo64
This tutorial is an addition to one of my prior tutorials how to bake alpha images in Blender. You'll find the alpha baking tutorial here: https://youtu.be/_U8lkyVKTAU
Having so much fun with #ComfyUI !! :ablobattention:
#AIart seems so much easy, in truth, there is so much work behind if you want to obtain that particular look or feeling!
With #Comfy, it feels like being inside #Nuke or #Natron, #Blender... basically any #compositing software! And in fact, it actually is!
Sure, you might also get lucky with a 'amazing landscape' #promt, but would be totally random :blobaviator:

Digital art in Photoshop. The object is modeled in Houdini.
Xavier's done gone and updated the PixelFudger tools for #FoundryNuke
found the old render of my delivery drone before I re-composited it
I was pretty chuffed with it back in the day but now I feel like its barely visible in the frame
it's amazing what a little lighting and compositing can do to the same model, I definitely feel that I underestimated the impact of those last few steps when I was first learning blender
still a lot to learn but I'm pretty happy with how far I've come already

One of my pet peeves in #compositing is glow and how to make it look real.
Here are stills from animated shows I've posted about recently. #BubblegumCrisis is from the 1980s and its glow effects look 🌟 amazing. I assume they made animation like everybody else back then: photograph each painted cel on film. Did they shine light through mattes and do double exposures? I honestly don't know.
#VoxMachina's glow on the other hand... meh. It's just like an outline or a preset.
I've just released my next free Blackmagic Design Fusion Tutorial on my YouTube channel (link in Bio):
https://www.youtube.com/pixeltrain3DVFXTrainings
This time I talk about Masking, the Polygon Mask tool and the BSpline Mask tool. You can follow along with DaVinci Resolve on the Fusion Page or in Fusion Studio.
Have fun!

After a longer pause I've released a new free tutorial on my YouTube channel. I hope you like it :-)

In this tutorial, you will learn the general uses and workflows of Masks in Fusion / Fusion Page in Resolve.

Y'a des options dans l'éditeur de nœuds de Davinci Fusion qui me manquent terriblement et que je retrouvais pourtant dans Blender notamment.
Notamment, le fait de glisser un nœud sur une arête pour l'insérer sur celle-ci, entre les deux nœuds.
Took awhile but here’s my #introduction 😊
I’m Steve K. and new to Mastodon, but I was never a huge user of the bird site.
* 34 years in the #animation and #vfx industry (everything from creatures, to #stop-motion to digital #compositing and #cartoons)
* Co-creator (along with @JonHooper) of ancient animation information website known as http://animationmeat.com
* As you can probably tell from my instance and I am a strong advocate for #sustainability and a #greenenergy future through #renewables. I can love the #madmax movies, but I’d prefer my future IRL closer to #startrek
* I think #ratrods are cool, but would like an #ev for daily transportation
* Music fan of #ramones #powerpop #punk #alternative
* I enjoy #mountainbiking #mtb and also #biking to work when I can
* I love physical #pinball machines, but #virtualpinball machines are also pretty cool.
* Absolutely zero interest in religion and vote heavily for #progressive policies in politics.
I’m sure I’ll remember other things I forgot to add after I post this. 🤦♂️ 😉

Natron 2.5.0 is now available for Windows, macOS and Linux. This is the first release with Python 3 support, existing users should review plugins/addons used before upgrading.
✨ 💎 Kinda put all my skillsets into one piece for this one..
This week we have Courtney Pryce!
We follow his rise from a Runner back in the "Rock & Roll" years of VFX in London Soho, learning Shake just in time for Apple to kill the software, the transition to Nuke and on to his role as an industry spokesperson, presenting Nuke, Mari, Hiero and Modo around the Globe.
Check it!

@johnowhitaker Two more methods I make use of:
Manual #compositing: I use this *heavily*. Just simply generate two entirely different things, composite them lazily together, then use #img2img to reunify them into a cogent whole.
Loopback: use this occasionally, but not often. Instead of running img2img (with or without a mask) a single time with a large denoising factor, run it multiple times in a row with small denoising factors. Somewhat different results.

Natron 2.4.4 is now available for Windows, macOS and Linux. This is a patch release, no new features was added. This is probably the last release with (binary) support for Python 2.
Did you miss the livestream? Not to worry! It's available for rewatch! #blender3d #greasepencil #compositing #cgcookie https://youtu.be/lrrB_qZAo7U
According to #Buzzsprout, this is our highest rated episode on audio platforms

I guess compositors prefer to listen while they work which is why it did better than on YouTube ?
Recently started learning how to make fire in #cel #animation with the goal of turning this new knowledge into a small project where I’d give it my personal spin. So there’s a skull, and heavy #compositing
I also whipped up a quick #midjourney background since illustration’s not my strong suit and I wanted to try out the workflow.
Shout-out to Quentin Cordonnier for his course on fire animation!

Our latest interview is with Rodolphe Pierre-Louis founder and CEO of ActionVFX ! An entrepreneur since middle school, Rodolphe studied filmmaking in Miami and was already freelancing as a director of music videos and corporate videos before graduating.
It's a hell of a ride so strap yourselves in and check it out!

At 16:30 GMT our interview with Rodolphe Pierre-Louis, founder of Action VFX goes live on our YouTube channel.
As a compositor I've used a lot of these elements in production so it was fun to sit down and ask about how they get made and hear Rodolphe's business advice.
I cheekily asked them for a discount code to share at the end of the video.

Shot compositing in Kdenlive. I do a lot of compositing in Blender, but sometimes it's good to do it late in the pipeline, especially when it's a sequence transition. This gives me more freedom in timing, with a small cost in control of the shot alignment (it is a little hard to keep two moving shots lined up properly with each other, without creating some shaking effects). #LunaticsProject # #LunaticsTV #Kdenlive #Compositing

Let's learn the Fundamentals of the Merge tool and the almighty Channel Booleans tool in Blackmagic Design Fusion Studio. These two tools are the cornerstones of every composition inside of Fusion.
