Photoshop Rotoscopy final Piece ( Move with a feeling )

 Moving with a feeling 

This was the final task of this week. In this task, we were supposed to shoot some videos to use as a reference for our rotoscoping projects in photoshop. We shot a few videos of people walking, playing tennis, And me jumping though I was not clear about the selection of clips and particular parts of clips. which I am supposed to use. so I imported and checked the bits of videos that would work. However, only 1 shot of me jumping gave me ideas. So I started working with that. This time I did not have to set up photoshop because I saved my program named animation in photoshop which opened directly and had everything in there including timeline, brushes swatches, etc . then I imported the video by creating a new timeline. Created a new video layer and started working. Just after the selection and all cutting cropping of video I started tracing myself. It was and always has been a tedious process to do rotoscopy. Hopefully, I was working on  15 fps and it looked nice and smooth. After about 20 odd frames when the rotoscopy was finished I saved it and started working on another copy of it so if by mistake anything happens I don't have to start again.


(Just the rotoscopy version with clip)



After rotoscopy. This part was fun to brainstorm ideas about what can I do with this as this clip shows the excitement of going somewhere. I have just watched the movie Gattaca it was unconsciously playing in the back of my head. so I contemplated getting myself into a space shuttle and shooting myself to space. I found a png of the shuttle and took it as a reference and started sketching it on another layer. After that I animated thruster and rocket to shoot itself in space. The background part and font animation were comparatively easy but for that, i had to make a roto version and rocket animation into one smart object to get rid of unwanted junk. Thereafter i drew the BG and animated text. That was pretty much it.

Making of the Planets..

Image
In addition to creating planets for my project, I also wanted to create a template for the planets so that I could copy and paste them, changing the material and colour nodes to create a completely different planet. This way, I could use the template as often as necessary to create a bizarre planet for my degree project. First Step: Configuring the Sphere We start our journey by constructing a basic spherical, which will serve as the basis for our magnificent planet. To ensure seamless transitions and accurate detailing, we'll add a UV Sphere primitive and use Blender's user-friendly interface to polish its edges with a Subdivision Surface modifier. Step 2: Materials Addition: Enlivening the Planets Now that our sphere is in position, it's time to harness the magic of materials to give it life. We'll explore Blender's material editor and use the adaptable Musgrave texture to create an aesthetically appealing surface. Through the manipulation of characteristics li...

The Davinci Result and Part 1 Post Production

Image
 While working on a certain nebulae sequence, I encountered a big obstacle in my attempt to provide engaging VR material. I tried my hardest, but there was a lot of distracting noise in the footage, which took away from the intended visual effect. I set out on a quest of investigation and testing to save the sequence and improve its quality because I was determined to find a solution. I found a potentially effective solution after researching other options and talking to other creators. DaVinci Resolve is a potent video editing programme that is well-known for its strong noise-reduction features. Equipped with this fresh understanding, I enthusiastically tested this method in the hopes of reviving my problematic nebula sequence. I nervously awaited the best outcome when I applied the denoising algorithm in DaVinci Resolve after importing the video and carefully tweaking the settings. I was astounded to see the nebulae's actual beauty emerge as the noise progressively subsided and ...

Degree Project Reviews

Image
I attended a few seminars this week on my degree project. I knew exactly what needed to be done. I stopped by the level 5 session to speak with an instructor who is very knowledgeable about the Unreal Engine. I discussed my thoughts and viewpoints with him and showed him my old blog. I have been examining the Unreal Engine tutorials. Since this is my degree project and I can't afford to make any mistakes that could affect my deadline, I was concerned if this project was too ambitious for me and if should I devote more time to other modules.  Is this project idea and project feasible? was the initial query. Fortunately, the Unreal engine provides a large selection of objects and simple nod-based change, making this viable. I could finish it in the allotted time. We can even buy and utilise things like plugins for Unreal Engine online, and they will function flawlessly.  After that, the question became whether I could dolly and animate a camera in any way I wanted to, as my goal...
