Live Action & CG 3 - In Depth Compositing - Project Files
eLearning | 904.00 MB

In this DVD, Instructor Matt Skonicki takes you through the entire process of compositing 2 HD Shots with 3D integration. The best part of this tutorial is it uses Autodesk Composite for compositing which ships free with Autodesk Maya 2011. Matt starts off by taking you On Location to demonstrate the capturing of the raw plate and HDRI images. From there he goes through creating the final HDRI image in Photoshop. The next chapters include detailed tracking in SynthEyes, setting up the scene in Maya, creating masks in After Effects, Animation of the 3D objects in Maya, adding particle effects, lighting, and render layers. Last, Matt composites the final scenes in Autodesk Composite. This tutorial is perfect for those who want an "Out of the Box" comprehensive tutorial on compositing 3D into your own camera footage primarily using Autodesk Maya and Composite.

About the Instructor:
Matt Skonicki has worked in the video game and film industry for over 6 years. During his time at Midway Games in Chicago, he worked very hard to prove his way up from being a cinematics artist to a character technical artist.

Getting Started with mocha for After Effects

Digital Tutors - Getting Started with mocha for After Effects | Project files | 370Mb

In this series of lessons we will learn how to use the mocha for After Effects application to track objects and use that tracking data inside After Effects. mocha for After Effects is bundled with After Effects versions CS4 and later, so you might already have access to this powerful planer tracker.

We'll begin this project by creating a new project and learning the basics of the mocha planar tracker. We'll then learn how to bring that tracking data into after effects to do a sign replacement. We'll then learn how to change the output of mocha for an easier integration into After Effects. Once that is done, we'll learn about tracking with multiple layers in mocha and how to stabilize footage. We'll finish by working through a few difficult to track clips and learn the variety of tools we have to tweak and edit tracks in mocha.

Lesson Outline (10 lessons)

1. Project Introduction and Overview
2. Importing footage and Playback controls
3. Creating a basic planar track with X-splines
4. Using our Mocha data to create an After Effects Corner Pin
5. Setting the Corner Pin in Mocha with Surface and Clips
6. Tracking Faces for a black bar effect
7. Working with Multiple Layers and Stabilizing Footage
8. Tracking objects with heavy reflections using Mattes
9. Fixing Drift using AdjustTrack
10. Tracking objects that leave the frame with AdjustTrack

English | VP6F 782x646 | MP3 96 Kbps | 241 MB
Genre: eLearning

In this series of lessons we'll learn how to use the Toxik tracker to analyze footage and find the position of objects. This is an important technique for matching an image or animation's movement, rotation, scale and perspective skewing to real-life footage.

We'll begin this project by doing a simple one point track using some easy footage. We'll then learn how to do a two point track on real footage. Lastly, we'll track the four corners of a television screen. We'll then learn some tips and tricks for getting a track from difficult footage and how to take our four point track and finish the shot using color correction tools to match the images together.

Lesson Outline (9 lessons)

1. Introduction and Project Overview
2. Getting Started with the Tracker: 1 Point Tracking
3. Creating a Two Point Track
4. Four Point Tracking
5. How to edit tracking data points
6. Creating a clean track using color correction techniques

In this series of lessons, we'll learn how to use MatchMover to take our 2D footage and create a 3D scene.

We'll begin this project by going through the basic workflow of importing the footage, running the automatic tracker and exporting a file into our 3D application

Then we'll learn how to move around MatchMover's 2D and 3D viewports to get a preview of the 3D objects.

We'll then learn how to guide MatchMover's automatic tracker using
Contours and how to create manual tracks.

Before outputting our scene, we will learn how to create a coordinate system so that everything is aligned correctly.

We'll finish by learning a few techniques to help the camera solve and render a preview video.

Lesson Outline (10 lessons)

1. Introduction and Project Overview
2. "Importing a sequence, automatic tracking and exporting"
3. Previewing the track quality in 2D and 3D space
4. Using Contours to guide the automatic trackers

Digital Tutors: Introduction to Camera Tracking in NukeX

Digital Tutors: Introduction to Camera Tracking in NukeX | 840 MB

In this series of lessons we’ll learn how to use the 3D Camera Tracker in NukeX. This tool lets us track our live-action footage and create a camera in Nuke’s 3D system that matches our real-life movement. This allows us to place 3D objects correctly and have the animation done automatically.
We’ll begin this project by going through a simple camera track and learn the proper workflow to get a usable 3d scene and camera. We’ll then learn how to add Nuke 3D geometry into our scene as well ass geometry we import from another application. We’ll then learn about the various properties and pipes in the camera tracker that let us control our tracks better. After getting a track, we’ll learn how to use the DepthGenerator node to take our 3D camera and generate a rough Depth map for our footage. We’ll then learn how to convert a 3d point back into 2d space so we can drive 2d transforms in our nodes.

1. Introduction and Project Overview
2. “Creating our first Track, Camera and Scene”
3. Viewing Track and Point quality and rendering the point cloud
4. Setting the correct Scene size and Axis before adding geometry
5. Adding a Nuke 3D Object to a location in 3D Space
6. Using Copy transform to place an External 3D Object
7. Tweaking Feature and Tracker settings to track other shots
8. Using Masks to remove non-trackable areas
9. Using Masks to focus the track on a certain area
10. Increasing the DOF Blur with the DepthGenerator
11. Getting a smooth Depth using the DepthGenerator node
