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

#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:

I did an art!

The tail is a bit shoddy, the reason that that is that i am bad at modelling and sculpting.

The floor is made using #MaterialMaker

#mastoart #3d #3dart #blender3d #blender #render #compositing #cycles #synthwave #retro #crt #vhs

A dragon model winding around an obelisk viewed from the front. The dragon and the obelisk have glowing wireframes around their bodies of solid black. The dragons' eyes are glowing white and smoke emits from them and flows to the back. In the back there's a synthwave sun, and the wireframes colors are also held in a synthwave style.
 
All that has a lot of postprocessing applied, including scanlines, and it has very carefully picked amounts of noise. The sun has a bloom colored different from it itself, and it also has very aggressive chromatic abberation. The entire render has slight chromatic abberation as well.

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

left is before, right is after

an old 3d render of a delivery drone flying through the sky carrying a package
the updated version of the same delivery drone flying through the sky carrying a package

now with a little extra effort put into the last few steps of lighting and compositing

the drone takes up more of the frame and the colors are more vivid

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.

Above, 3 still frames from the 1980s anime "Bubblegum Crisis" showing nice glow with realistic falloff. Below, glowing objects in 2022's "Vox Machina" with glow effects that look somewhat dull or have a sharp falloff.

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. 🤦‍♂️ 😉

@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.

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.

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
