Two Really Important Things i forgot to mention in the video: 1) Matching the shadows of the cg element and the video footage is really important. The color of the shadow, the opacity of the shadow, the sharpness of the shadow. everything. keep this in mind. i forgot to put it in the video coz i am dumb 2) Also, you can use the image/video you're using in the bg as the hdri as well to get accurate colors, and highlights and shadows. it doesn't always work, but it's still worth a try. 3) you can uv project from view from the camera to map the photo to the camera perspective very easily. Don't have to do it manually. More Notes: - when i said in the video/title that this is a fresh new workflow, i meant it was new for me . I thought i worded it well. But i think it's still a lil confusing and misleading. So apologies. I'd love a better suggestion for the title if you have one. - a lot of ppl have also been saying - "isn't this what the vfx industry has been doing for ages". yes! of course it is. i definitely didn't mean to claim that i just discovered vfx in this video 😅. the title 'a new way to approach photo realism' is to say that ppl do this everyday but not to achieve photo realism. this video is just to say, hey why don't you mix cg and photos where a lot of the heavy lifting is done by the photograph itself. and you just have to focus on blending the cg element into the photograph (instead of trying to make everything photo realistic like in a full on 3d render)
It's it still the case that shadow catcher is easy in evee but not cycles or visa versa? I remember having to do an extra step. Also an extra step to get the image to render as it was only the bg of the camera which didn't render. I think I ended up actually filling the camera view with geometry and use using the projected textures then making a extra camera that I animated motion to. Anyways hope all that was a thing of the past, because I lost hours troubleshooting.
how od I change the colour of the shadow? I tried changing the colour of the shadow catcher but nothing changed. Same in compositing, the cg object changes colour but not the shadow...
😨 Wtf. Pwnisher! I'm having a moment dude! Don't just casually come here and drop a nice lil comment like it's nothing 😂 I've been a huge fan of you and your content for a long long time. So I appreciate you saying that man! Means the world! Hyped for the Boss fight challenge 🤩 Can't wait to see what PPL make! ❤️
QUICK TIP: For a perfect UV alignment to project the texture of your picture. First, go to the camera view and select an object from the environment. Then, enter edit mode and press "U" on your keyboard. Click on "Project from view" option. This will provide a PERFECT projection of the scene onto your objects and get great reflections(add some subdivision if you get destorted projetion)
You know what, i tried that. But I'm a 100% sure i was doing something wrong coz the projection weren't working at all. I've done it several times before but i couldn't this time for some reason. I don't know if it was me, the photo or blender. But thanks for dropping the comment. Will definitely help out others. I'd like to add it to my pinned comment too if you don't mind.
Dude. I'm not so sure. Coz i tried to do it in a different project and it worked out fine. I think it was just that instace. Maybe the model had weird normals or scaling issues. I don't know what happened.
Not the first video of yours I've seen where you show your failures as well as the good outcomes. Really helps show people it's okay to screw up while learning to do something completely new!
Thanks for saying that man. Sometimes I feel like not showing them coz it's embarassing. But i feel like it's very important to show the failures irrespective of that. It can help make the beginners feel a lil better i think.
Haven't finished the video yet, just wanted to say thanks for including the overview at the beginning and marking it off as a chapter. Definitely sold me on coming back to do the whole thing.
Really? I thought it was a good idea to do that, especially in a super long video. So appreciate you saying that. I'll keep it in mind for future videos as well
The best trick I learned for color matching is to do a single color channel at a time. View the red channel of the composite in grayscale and match the black, white, and midtones of the red channel of your render with a levels tool. Repeat for blue and green. You'll probably still need to tweak things a bit when switching back to full color, but it gets you 95% of the way there super fast.
That Failure:Success weighting is true You can do everything right but that never teaches you to push the science/art/vision and ngl that statement alone won you another sub just now. So true
Hey, I never comment on a video, but this time I had to : first time seeing one of your videos, I interpreted the title wrong and didn't expect a tutorial, rather a kind of "thought" video on 3d and photorealisme in general. But I ended up watching it nevertheless. Honestly, as a professional VFX artist with for the past 10 years or so, I really enjoyed watching the video. I don't think I could have summed up what a VFX artist does as well as you did. You kept it simple, organised, you narrate really well and it is pleasant to follow. Sure, things where oversimplified, but that's what made it so clear. And you took this nearly naive approche, I mean that as a compliment, as if you discovered VFX by yourself, as a tool to your "full 3D" skills. That's strange to me and I never thought of the fact that some people took the opposite way to how I learned. You deserve way more recognition from youtube. Keep up what you do, I'm gonna watch another video of yours, you have a new subscriber :)
Don't know how this is a new way. This vid should be titled "Beginner Steps to Getting Somewhat Acceptable Photorealism" But maybe this video wasn't for me with a decade of experience, I'll blame TH-cam recommendations
A 21 minute video, and I spent a day and a half watching it. But man the results are incredible, I don't think that I was this invested into anything I have done in Blender before (mostly done Photorealistic Product Renders and Environment Renders before) Now I basically can do the same thing but instead of having to model the whole interior I can use an image and insert my product there, AND I can put my models into videos! Thank you so much
THAT was the best video I've seen in a REALLY long time, the way you speak, the way you explain and the part about photorealism and storytelling was where i really connected. This was an amazing experience 😌. Good job 😁
This is actually incredible, I've been looking for tutorials like this and i have not succeeded, however I managed to get a great Fspy shot after a lot of failed shots, but this is just next level, I will definitely start and try VFX based on your video. Thanks a lot!
ah shit... here we go again, just when i thought blender is all about modelling and stuff, u make me realise that its all about fun, u always surprise me with new content, man , i completely owe it to you for having me engaged in this 3D cinamatography world, really i mean it, no other youtuber has made me feel that way, truly, thank you man.
7:47 One thing the shadows are missing is the blue tone that comes from the blue sky, As an example: if you look at the shadow in your room it will look dark(obviously) but there is more. If your light is orange for example the shadow does have a orange tone, also if you have a room with bright walls then your shadow is less dark as in a room with dark walls. That applies to the sky, The blue light from above reflects onto the shadow, which gives it a blue tone. this rule applies for anything that involves light even if its barelly visible. The eye can see that even if it subtle. 7:53 Here the method does work because its just 1 bright light and probably less to none reflections back to the objects shadow. 10:31 This one is also a great example, if you look at the shadow of the "person" it looks kinda off. 12:10 This one also looks photorealistic, but once you see the tiny shadow mistake you can't unsee it. Look at the cliff shadow and compare to the one of the turtle. this is one thing i wanted to point out. despite this shadow thing, This is a great tutorial and i learned a lot from it. it is hard to find tutorial like this one the internet that explains it in a simple and easy way.
I am 9 mins into this video and so excited lol. Just subbed. I use blender for modeling game scenes mostly. But I can make stuff really quickly and have wanted to dive into motion tracking scenes and playing with VFX shots lately. Thanks for this video it’s a gem.
This is a great video, I've been in the beginning phase (with blender) for a while now mainly for the reason that I am not comfortable enough with blender to create my own original 3d art so I've been using tutorials, and itś really hard to find good beginner tutorials. But this video is the perfect video for everyone, I'm a photographer and I've taken thousands of photos and videos, and now I can wait to take them to the next level. Thank you so much for the video!
Really great video, I just started Blender and this made me think about more fun goals to achieve. It's also made in a really entertaining and not fast or boring way, which I wish more tutorials would be. Thank you.
Such an amazing video! There's very few who put as much consideration into the video as the content itself. Cant wait to see what you have in store for us all :))
You know what, i shouted out that addon in the video but had to remove it coz most PPL just hate using paid add-ons. Even if it's a better user experience you know. But i love that addon two. Thanks for mentioning it in the comments
@@stache_obj I totally forgot that it's 15$. I actually like paying for addons to give something back to the community. I understand that it's different for hobbyists but saving a thousand bucks per year using blender instead of c4d or else leaves a little room for cool plugins 😀
mannnnnnnn!! i waited so long for your video but it was worth every second coz i know quality content takes time and you never disappoint. i'm learning soo much from you and i hope i can continue to do so.. You deserve more success and exposure
I have a suggestion for you. project the photo onto some geometry (can be very simple geometry) and make it an emissive material and not visible to the camera (with light path node). this will be for reflections and the look of bounce light.
There’s a trick if you’re working with multiple sources of lighting and it’s too complicated to do yourself. Simply do your best to match the lighting and when you’ve reached the end image composition you want, run it through an image to image AI program like stable diffusion. You can use positive prompts like “photography” and “picture” etc along with negative prompts like “photoshop”, “fake”, “edited”, and “bad lighting”. The results in SD can be unpredictable, but it’s easy to get many of them to choose from. You’d also want to change the settings so that the output image is strongly biased towards matching the input image since you’re only trying to make minor improvements to the lighting.
@@ViciousTuna2012 I've heard all the arguments for and against AI art at this point. Can it be trained on artists images of other people's work without consent? Sure, and this is bad. But describing the use of image diffusion software that's only touching up an image you created as being "a copy of other people's work" is absurd and only makes you look ignorant of how the technology works. Or perhaps you meant "a copy of other people's _talent"_ which would be a bit more accurate. But personally, if the end product is something new with artistic merit that you envisioned before starting the creation process, I couldn't care less _how_ you made it. The fact that you're able to and that no one else has done it before is what makes someone an artist. (caveat being that models trained on art without consent is a morally and legal dark grey zone)
Im not a Blender guy, I am more on Archicad / Vectorworks - Unreal Engine.. but his video make me want to watch, because alongside with tutorial, the way he presented make it look so entertaining and fun. His accent sound like Piximpect lol. Subscribed & like.
or... you could have seen that the photo was taken on a Panasonic GH-2 with a 14mm lens. The GH2 then has a x2 crop factor, bringing the camera up to 28mm giving you a fov of about 64°
But not everyone is Stanley friggin kubick1, right? I'm kidding. I very specifically showed that frame to let PPL know you have that information available. But in case you don't, fspy is the way to go
Can we please get uploads higher than 1080p? Cycles have a lot of noise, and the yt encoder gets crazy at these 1080p bitrates. It would help a lot with video clarity! You're crushing it!!!
Aww man. I know. The zoomed in shots and the rendered mode shots suck. But i can't afford a new 4k monitor right now. And i obviously can't upscale my current 1080p footages coz my monitor maxes out at 1080p. But I have taken a note of what you mean. And will be working towards it. Thanks for letting me know. 🤝🏻
I've already asked this somewhere else, but got no answer. How do I make a shadow catcher actually just a shadow catcher, and to not be able to cast shadows on itself. You can even see when he made the cement flower pot a shadow catcher - now the cement pot has a shadow from the clip, but now another shadow goes over that and it's not really accurate that way. It's a huge problem when there's shadows casting on the shadow side of the shadow catcher, as you would need to eyeball mask it for it to be useful. Setting self shadow off, doesn't fix this as this just turns off shadows casting on different object, and with a node based shadow catcher, you would have to have light everywhere in the scene, and then the shadow wouldn't be accurate + possibly casting multiple shadows...
NVIDIA has a software that can create 360 HDRIs is from photographs, which would be super useful for something like this. I think it's part of their Omniverse suite, would be even handier if it was implemented into blender (or FSPY, I suppose).
You could probably use the shadows from the real image to align the lighting like drawing a point from a shadows corner to the object the shadow is cast from.
Two Really Important Things i forgot to mention in the video:
1) Matching the shadows of the cg element and the video footage is really important. The color of the shadow, the opacity of the shadow, the sharpness of the shadow. everything. keep this in mind. i forgot to put it in the video coz i am dumb
2) Also, you can use the image/video you're using in the bg as the hdri as well to get accurate colors, and highlights and shadows. it doesn't always work, but it's still worth a try.
3) you can uv project from view from the camera to map the photo to the camera perspective very easily. Don't have to do it manually.
More Notes:
- when i said in the video/title that this is a fresh new workflow, i meant it was new for me . I thought i worded it well. But i think it's still a lil confusing and misleading. So apologies. I'd love a better suggestion for the title if you have one.
- a lot of ppl have also been saying - "isn't this what the vfx industry has been doing for ages". yes! of course it is. i definitely didn't mean to claim that i just discovered vfx in this video 😅.
the title 'a new way to approach photo realism' is to say that ppl do this everyday but not to achieve photo realism. this video is just to say, hey why don't you mix cg and photos where a lot of the heavy lifting is done by the photograph itself. and you just have to focus on blending the cg element into the photograph (instead of trying to make everything photo realistic like in a full on 3d render)

Glad you liked it 😊
great content man, keep it up
This is some high-quality content. Amazing work.
Thanks man. Glad you said that
new stache upload? LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
The real question is... when's the next atti video
@@stache_obj No fucking idea :D
Fantastic video! I love your pace and attitude, and finally joined the Patreon because of this one!
Awesome. Thanks for the support man. Means the world
we can also use Real Sky Addon , If we know the location of the image ... and blend both HDRI and the addon for more refined look
Oh that's a great idea joban bhai..
Our stache will make us nerd in photorealism 🧐 lol but great content
or... you could have seen that the photo was taken on a Panasonic GH-2 with a 14mm lens. The GH2 then has a x2 crop factor, bringing the camera up to 28mm giving you a fov of about 64°
But not everyone is Stanley friggin kubick1, right?
I'm kidding. I very specifically showed that frame to let PPL know you have that information available. But in case you don't, fspy is the way to go
So glad i found your channel, these videos are awesome
Can we please get uploads higher than 1080p? Cycles have a lot of noise, and the yt encoder gets crazy at these 1080p bitrates. It would help a lot with video clarity! You're crushing it!!!
Aww man. I know. The zoomed in shots and the rendered mode shots suck. But i can't afford a new 4k monitor right now. And i obviously can't upscale my current 1080p footages coz my monitor maxes out at 1080p. But I have taken a note of what you mean. And will be working towards it. Thanks for letting me know. 🤝🏻
THIS IS SO COOL YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!
No u
I've already asked this somewhere else, but got no answer. How do I make a shadow catcher actually just a shadow catcher, and to not be able to cast shadows on itself. You can even see when he made the cement flower pot a shadow catcher - now the cement pot has a shadow from the clip, but now another shadow goes over that and it's not really accurate that way. It's a huge problem when there's shadows casting on the shadow side of the shadow catcher, as you would need to eyeball mask it for it to be useful.
Setting self shadow off, doesn't fix this as this just turns off shadows casting on different object, and with a node based shadow catcher, you would have to have light everywhere in the scene, and then the shadow wouldn't be accurate + possibly casting multiple shadows...
very inspirational video. gonna save me lots of times. thanks for share mate!
Happy to help Johne doe!
This is a really interesting approach and one i have never thought about! Amazing video as always!!
Thanks baeac. Waiting for your next upload too 😄
@@stache_obj I have to come up with good video ideas like you lol,,
love the editing man! Best wishes to you
Appreciate it brother
You get a sub for the Vsauce inspired intro. You said "Or are we" and I clicked the button.
😂😂. Love that dude
This is amazing! Awesome work
me : whats is the best way to judge the matching of colors correction cgi shots
Stache : Your Eyes
Oh yeah. Worth way more than any AI tool 😂
low key straught up bussin fr
You are a treasure, thanks for another awesome video!
the shadow catcher is catching also light (3.5.2)
Lifeeeee saverrrrr🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
NVIDIA has a software that can create 360 HDRIs is from photographs, which would be super useful for something like this. I think it's part of their Omniverse suite, would be even handier if it was implemented into blender (or FSPY, I suppose).
Ohh yeah gotta give that a try
Damn amazing video
Great video man....thank you sir.
No thank you sir
This was a really cool video Stache! Great job!
Thanks man. Glad you like it
You could probably use the shadows from the real image to align the lighting like drawing a point from a shadows corner to the object the shadow is cast from.
you forgot about tint of shadow. sky too has effect to floor scene
That's why I had it in a pinned comment
Bhai...video accha banaya
Instant sub! I love the way you teach
Great advice, thanks for sharing.
this video is fucking awesome. subbed.
1:24 i was one that bridge on that image, its in berlin
That looked like an office building
Sirrandalot also has a photorealism technique that he released around the same time as this video
That was some crazy shit
You could use texture projection from view for a 3d representation of the city street
Wonderful!
man you made it so interesting to watch .. Great job
Glad you enjoyed it!
