@Erhan Burger Nodes are easy once you start breaking them down and using them one by one. Took me like 2 weeks of creating random things until I started to understood what each one does.
@@spydergs07 Enabling the *Node Wrangler* addon is sooo helpful for this. Just *Ctrl-Shift-click* on any node to view its output on its own, and you can really see what it does & play around with the sliders. From there, it's mostly learning how textures can be combined in the MixRGB node, and the basics of shading in general - with or without nodes. ^^ Oh, and *Ctrl-T* adds a coordinate input, which again helped me to understand those better by letting me play around with them.
Wow oh wow. It's a real joy to see one of my creations come alive. Hardest part wasn't the modelling, but the rigging. Took me over a month to get the cogs and pistons rotating like gimbals. I wasn't even sure you could put in a new armature for BVH motion capture stuff. But somehow you did it. Awesome stuff man.
Hey Steve you are very cool for showing all these different things in Blender, you helped me a lot in my Blender journey and you inspired me to start making tutorials too! :D
If a tracker is lost and you manually reposition it, hitting "refine" forward or backward will put it pretty much exactly where it's supposed to go. It reads the previous frame and takes the guess work out of matching. Great tutorial also!
Okay for anyone confused on how he moved layers and kept influence: 1: on that layer don't uncheck said collection. 2: top right of collection tab there is a button with a weird funnel shape, click that 3: under restriction toggles, allow indirect only 4: select that for said collection and you should be set!
Nice job on the tutorials, I've learned a lot from you. I wanted to mention, if you only need it for the reflections, you can also make a 3d version of your room with simple boxed out shapes and lights, and use blenders camera to make an hdri.
The shadows don’t match, look at the shadows from the table and light stands. The point backwards and are far longer. This is something that is an issue with hdri’s as they don’t really match the intensity of the real lights well. This is why we always add CG lights too. Also the black and white values are off. You should measure the darkest value of the neck ground, and match the darkest of your CG using color correct or curves. Then match the lights value with a second curves (when you use curves). Then you’ll match a color values and saturation. Then it’ll really blend nicely.
If you look at the table leg in the foreground the shadow goes the opposite of the other tables it depends on which side of the window above the monitor object is on.
The intro is always my favourite part, Steve I love how you are always so good at grabbing my attention and always make high quality, highly enthusiastic vids!
To the untrained eye perhaps, but the robot is casting a very faint shadow while the guy is casting a much stronger one. And the robot is very reflective but is not even reflecting the room. And black levels don't match. If this guy skills were so great then he would be working with the professionals you just put down, not recording tutorials on youtube with a mediocre software.
The part that I need the most work on is the advanced compositing beyond getting the right layers integrated. I have more trouble with the color correction, gamma, brightness, contrast, saturation, etc, to get the CG actually to look like its truly in the scene. Part of my current issue is probably that I'm working on a project with a wine glass and its hard to do any light wrapping or softening of the edges with a transparent object.
I think this is the best I'm going to be able to do. The unfractured glass and fractured glass Beauty layers each took 3.5 days to render in 4k 425 frames. The composite is Unfractured glass, Fractured glass, mask layer, bullet is in both glass layers, shadow glass, liquid sim beauty, liquid sim shadow, counter top color spill, and background plate. There might be more. th-cam.com/video/CDAPPtdt0Ow/w-d-xo.html
Great tut. Thank you. One question. I bought the camera but cant get it to save as a .hdr extension file. Any advice on how to do this? Thanks in advance!!
One trick that can help in compositing is add a light wrap effect. It's a blurred copy of the background that's blended over the cgi with a kind of gradient Halo matte. It helps blend the edges and color a lot.
Plz help, how can i export that 3d model only (transparent) without the background room video so i can assemble and edit both (the 3d model and room video) in premiere pro. When i render image or render animation, the background video also renders with 3d model. Please help me to get rid of that background video. Thanks in advance.
Hey! This is a late response but I might as well. You can export as a png image sequence WITH ALPHA! The alpha part is the most important part in getting a transparent background
Separate the render passes. Each 'layer' of the scene, background, robot, etc are actually rendered apart, then combined for the final. Turn off the elements you don't want. Robert is your parents sibling.
Doing this whole process in Cinema 4D is way easier BUT achieving photorealism is way harder. The filmic colour space is so much better than anything in Cinema 4D.
Ps why not use vector pass to add motion blur, that way it renders faster and you can add motion blur in post. Ps isn't it better to use object for the dof, you can than select a part on the robot and the focus will be updated each frame
Quick and easy in just 912 steps and 6289293 nodes. No, really. Thanks a bunch. I will have to watch especially the node parts a couple of times to fully get what you did there. I am not sure whether or not I like the way you extracted the shadows from the white plane. Seems a bit crude and messy and like it might not work with different lighting scenarios. Then again I have no clue about all of this. xD So thanks again, you are making great tutorials!
Alright, my ultimate goal of my learning Blender will be 1) Scult the most beautiful woman I can imagine 2) Shade and texture her 3) Put her in the live footage of my room

Hey guys, I'm running the latest version of Blender (2.82a) and I'm running into a problem when I go to add the roughness texture to my background floor plane. When I add a new material, the plane appears transparent in all views except solid view. Even when I UV unwrap, it doesn't allow me to see what I'm doing. I'm following your steps exactly and this is the point where our viewports differ. Would appreciate some advice on this and thanks a mill for the tutorial, Steve :)
Thats awesome! Next step would be having the reflections of the red guy in the real world, for example on the laptop. Is that possible? And maybe match the saturation and blur with the real footage.
Amazing tutorial! Question: when removing the tracking markers and transforming the image to the left by -20 along the x-axis, I'm left with a transparent edge along the right side of my rendered frame. Is there a way to fix that?
Did not know Blender could turn a video into image sequence! Not sure if you covered this before but, would it be possible to 3D scan an object by recording a video around it instead of taking individual pictures? Import video into Blender to get image sequence then export/import into Meshroom.
This is a great tutorial...but i have a problem. I rendered my animation using concierge render farm and now i have no idea how to continue. Since I'll now be using image sequences in the compositor rather than render layers. How do i achieve similar results using image sequences?
I followed the tutorial the whole way through (exculding the HDRI and the floor reflection) still cant figure out how to export my final work out from the .blend
I want to make a scene where there is water, but the water is showing the shadow/reflection catcher. How do I have a material that only shows through transparency or reflections?
Hi Steve, great tutorial. I would be great if you could make a motion tracking tutorial with more advanced footage, that is where the camera is panned and a dolly shot?
Sorry to go off topic , but there may be a two-fer here. Can everything from 14:15 to 29:00 be used for greenscreening? I ask bc some greenscreens have terrible bleed around the edges; but some better greenscreens seem to have gradients moving from green (the unseen part) to black (the seen part) to correct this. In your video, a similar kind of graduated transparency is formed with the shadows. Hoping that makes sense.
Here is an example of a "graded greenscreen", particualry with the smoke: www.videvo.net/video/bomb-explosion-on-green/3439/ I'm wondering if some of or all the node editing techniques you described for the shadows could be used to get separate the green (unwanted to be seen) from the smoke (wanted to be seen).
So quick question, why did you choose LOC track versus LOCROT, Perspective or one of the others? Curious as to the advantages/disadvantages. Great stuff!
When I go into my 3D viewport, the video doesn’t show up in the background like it does in the tutorial, even though I’ve set it as the background and the floor has appeared. Does anyone know the reason for this?
Hi would you be so kind to do one of these but underwater? I am having a hard time doing underwater tracking. Really easy tutorial to follow, thank you so much
