WEBVTT 00:00.650 --> 00:05.340 Welcome to video effects or often shortened to VFX. 00:05.390 --> 00:06.900 So what's coming up in this section. 00:06.920 --> 00:12.670 Well this is all about combining our computer generated imagery with real world environments. 00:12.740 --> 00:16.280 Or if you wanted to combining it with other CGI eyes. 00:16.460 --> 00:21.140 So this this can be your models that you've made it can be your particle systems can be anything. 00:21.140 --> 00:26.810 You've generated on the computer and combining it with in this case a still image so we're going to 00:26.810 --> 00:33.260 start with a still image and place a model into it and make sure it looks relatively realistic. 00:33.260 --> 00:37.040 Obviously that would depend on the quality of your model as well. 00:37.040 --> 00:43.880 Now after we have mastered that we will go ahead and conquer video footage as well which has some other 00:43.940 --> 00:46.730 nitty gritty things that we need to sort out. 00:47.250 --> 00:51.010 Choosing your subject now you can follow along with me. 00:51.030 --> 00:54.170 You can choose your own path or indeed do both. 00:54.180 --> 00:59.520 One of the best ways of learning is to also go off on a tangent and work on your own project as well 00:59.730 --> 01:03.110 either in parallel or just after you've taken the section. 01:03.240 --> 01:05.720 It's a great way to reinforce your knowledge. 01:05.730 --> 01:08.150 Now remember to keep it simple. 01:08.160 --> 01:14.070 This goes for both your model if you're going to make your own and the real space that it is going to 01:14.160 --> 01:15.210 occupy. 01:15.210 --> 01:20.190 If we get started get too complex at this point in time it's going to cause you issues. 01:20.190 --> 01:24.320 So remember to keep it simple ain't talkin about keeping it simple. 01:24.330 --> 01:27.170 It's time for a nice simple challenge for you. 01:27.420 --> 01:30.300 So the challenge is to plan your scene. 01:30.450 --> 01:34.750 We are going to put a 3D model into a photograph. 01:34.770 --> 01:36.140 Now ideas for a scene. 01:36.150 --> 01:41.950 The photograph itself perhaps an empty road or a runway or a desk a windowsill or any other work top 01:41.950 --> 01:43.620 or work surface. 01:43.620 --> 01:47.840 Of course it would be great when were going to use a model so what model are you going to use. 01:47.850 --> 01:51.900 Be great if they matched up with the scene doesn't have to be interesting if it didn't. 01:51.900 --> 01:52.540 As opposed. 01:52.620 --> 01:57.880 But for an empty road you might put a car on their runway a plane a work top perhaps in a kitchen. 01:57.900 --> 02:04.680 Well perhaps any kitchen utensil plates glasses nice simple models remember simplicity. 02:05.190 --> 02:11.460 Now use existing models and scenes where possible this whole sections go in about bringing these two 02:11.460 --> 02:14.540 things together rather than making them so. 02:14.550 --> 02:16.200 One other thing you can. 02:16.200 --> 02:23.310 One of the things you can do here is use somewhere like blend swaps do go in and check out w w w dot 02:23.640 --> 02:26.430 blend swap dot com for your models. 02:26.430 --> 02:30.840 If you're going to use them and remember to credit others for their hard work as well check out the 02:30.840 --> 02:32.290 Creative Commons licence. 02:32.310 --> 02:35.380 All the blend files on blend swap tend to have one of those. 02:35.400 --> 02:37.860 Just make sure you credit others for their work. 02:38.040 --> 02:40.620 So Paul's video now and give that a go. 02:43.100 --> 02:43.720 Okay guys. 02:43.730 --> 02:44.720 Welcome back. 02:44.720 --> 02:45.850 Did you plan your scene. 02:45.890 --> 02:46.700 How did it turn out. 02:46.700 --> 02:51.740 I'm going to go through what I've planned for my scene now and then will crack on and get on with it. 02:52.970 --> 02:54.620 So what do I want to do. 02:54.650 --> 03:02.250 Well my scene is going to be a runway at sunset and the object I'm going to do a fighter jet because 03:02.250 --> 03:05.770 that kind of call that's what I like and that's what I'm going to do. 03:05.780 --> 03:11.020 Of course you guys can follow along with this or indeed go down your own route as well. 03:11.090 --> 03:11.920 Please share with us. 03:11.930 --> 03:17.210 Over on the forum what you guys are going to be up to what your plans are perhaps you've done some sketches 03:17.210 --> 03:18.740 of the scene that you want to do. 03:18.830 --> 03:21.170 Perhaps you got some awesome resources in there. 03:21.170 --> 03:25.790 I'm really looking forward to seeing what you guys are going to create and I will see you guys in the 03:25.790 --> 03:26.790 next lecture.
