      if you want my rate is 10$ an hour and i can walk you through all the effects. The only think i can't help you with is the rag doll and 3d scanning stuff. I only have 3d experience relevant to game animation so idk how to use 3ds max. I also don't use boujou that much but if you'd like to learn more about it i could probably brush up on it.

      Well, they also have years of experience in VFX. And obviously this is just breakdown of shots, not detailed simulation of how they did it. You can gain knowledge from this video, but you cannot do the exact same vfx video by watching this.

    I confess I totally paused the video to see if you actually used real-world equations and was very happy to see that yes, indeed you did! Fantastic idea Wren, and once again an amazing video!
    I'm looking into using Boujou for some tracking work myself in the future, so seeing how you were able to use the program to track that SUPER COMPLICATED slam-dunk shot was really informative. Also the Kinect scans is a neat idea, I'll have to give that a shot. Thanks for the amazing videos, awesome content, and just being all-around kickass RUclipsrs

    That ball Sam threw into the portal, was no where near going into the portal haha

    • @SirWrender
      @SirWrender 9 лет назад +6

      His first shot? It bounced off the pillar and went through the ground portal, and then into the basket.

    • @smittyguitarplyr
      @smittyguitarplyr 9 лет назад +2

      Ootini4 I feel like you're talking about Sam's second shot, and if so, he throws it in the general vicinity of the blue portal so he can run through and catch it, it wasn't actually thrown into the portal. Granted, it at first appears like it was a bit off course. But after watching it a few times I feel like they lined up the trajectories quite well.

  • @DhruvlukeMusic
    @DhruvlukeMusic 9 лет назад +3

    the polar coordinates fire was a slap in the face, massive moment of 'why didnt I realize that??'. great work, there's no way to properly explain how hard a good portal effect is to do until you actually try to do it yourself

    • @SirWrender
      @SirWrender 9 лет назад +5

      Pro Tip on the polar coordinates thing. Look up "Texture Tiling" and do that to your pre-comp before applying PC. That way, the left side of your "fire texture" will move smoothly and directly into the right side. Pre-comp that again and then apply PC. That will make it so that you'll have one uninterupted portal ring. Applying polar coordinates without doing that and you'll see a clear seam at the top.

    • @DhruvlukeMusic
      @DhruvlukeMusic 9 лет назад

      Yup, now recall all of this straight out of the videocopilot tutorial on doing exactly this. Obviously VC isnt quite as accessible to those without a good bit of experience with after effects already, but after seeing that tip here I think it could very well become the new standard way that people do portal effects on youtube. Next time though I expect to see a slow-mo first person shot like niko's final dunk. That'll be the new portal video holy grail!!

    • @iggorr25
      @iggorr25 9 лет назад

      @DhruvlukeMusic which VC tutorial are you talking about? the one where Andrew is talking about the portal where a woman walks out of it? @wrenthereaper I really hope that you make a tutorial on the creation of the portal effect, I have been trying for a long time now to make one, got a nice portal so far but not as good as the one you guys made. I looked at a dozen videos for "Texture Tiling" most of the time I get results for photoshop tutorials, and I do not understand how that will make the seam at the top disappear, In the portal I made the seam is still there but barely visible a lot better then what I first made but still not there yet. So yeah Keep up the great video and these BTS and VFX breakdowns are helping out a lot!!!!! THX very MUCH :D
      P.S. a BTS video that explains the techniques for recording this whole video would be very much appreciated :D

    • @DhruvlukeMusic
      @DhruvlukeMusic 9 лет назад +1

      the VC tutorial is the recent 'shockwaves' one I believe, if that's the one I think it is it should include info on texture tiling. weird concept but once you see it done and explained properly it should make sense. 'solar atmosphere' might also have some info on it, dont have time at the moment to check, but I remember kramer had a element 3d basketball surrounded by fire and he used the polar coordinates/texture tile for it. but I think it should all be there in shockwaves. let me know if that's the right one, Ill find what im thinking of if its not. good luck!

    • @iggorr25
