The Sum Up of Experiments & The Road Ahead

Thus, following several months of trial and error and a good deal of setbacks. I felt compelled to share my current status with you regarding my degree project. 


I've made the decision to move forward with the same plan but slightly alter the strategy. I'm going to add about five more scenes to my project. which is what would be. 


1) A cosmic explosion accompanying a procedural Black hole. 


2) A galaxy's scene 


3) The Star System


4) A Planet


5) A few auxiliary images featuring planets, galaxies, nebulas, and space in general. 


After that, I'll tackle a couple easy initiatives like sound design and a monologue. 

Monologue: 

After the scenes are explained, this must come first. The audience's perception of the conclusion must be flawless for it to be even more captivating. I'm going to read books and other sources while I write a monologue. Because "Gattaca" is a movie that I found inspiring and is often praised for its engaging story, likeable characters, and thoughtful exploration of challenging philosophical and ethical issues, I will attempt to make it a little poetic. The dystopian future depicted in the 1997 film, directed by Andrew Niccol, is one in which genetic engineering determines a person's social status and opportunities.

In the film, Ethan Hawke plays Vincent Freeman, a genetically "inferior" person who aspires to travel to space but encounters prejudice because of his heritage. The film poses significant queries regarding the nature of human potential, the ethical ramifications of genetic engineering, and the influence of technology on society.

In addition to the music, set design, and cinematography, "Gattaca" also excels overall. The film's slick, minimalistic look contributes to the visually arresting portrayal of a future world. The most striking ending was in this movie. When Vincent says " For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving... maybe I'm going home." I will certainly try to add this esq in my monologue. 



Sound Design: 

I drew inspiration for my sound design from Philip Glass, Hans Zimmer, and Ludwig Göransson. My buddies who are involved with sound design would be more than pleased to support me on this adventure. I'm not sure what to anticipate, but I know it would be incredible in a lot of ways.

 

Hopefully the Final Issue:

As I have mentioned before. I am really Struggling with the resolution of the VR. Every time after the render when i play it in VLC or a Quest It is always blurry and jittery. I had no idea what i was doing wrong. To tackle that i started with the most basic thing which is compression. 

Compression:   

The Idea of compression is that the Aspect ratio of VR is 2:1 because of its Horizontal field of View is 360 and Vertical is 180. I want my piece to be 4K resolution. So my current render resolution is 4K so what if I render it at 8K or more like 12 or 16K then compress it down to 4K so it would look better in every way right. However, I was not able to test this theory because of a lack of resources. The PCs in Baseroom are just not powerful enough to render at this resolution. It just crashed without doing 1 Frame. I tried multiple times and the GPU just crashed. I just started thinking and researching about alternate solutions. 

DaVinci Resolve:

Tutors and I agreed that Premiere Pro could be the issue. So I started looking I found Davinci might do it but it required an external plug-in. Which we did not have. So my tutor asked me for some material and said He would try and find a solution if it ended up in anything

Nuke:

I haven't used a nuke, therefore I can't say how true it is. However, it appears that you can add a denoise node to reduce noise or jitteriness, so I would try that as well.

I am Adding a couple of my VR renders here.

Degree Project Ideas......

Image
Thus, the summer is over and school has resumed. Do you know what you're going to make for your degree project? was the first query. I remained silent, but I knew exactly what I wanted to try and create. The entire summer, I had in the back of my mind what I ought to cook. However, I was clear on VR after receiving really favourable feedback. I was ready to work over my comfort zone in VR and create a work of art that would wow viewers. INSPIRATION  I have watched more films this summer than I ever have. I was really interested in producing films. I was curious about the work of great directors like James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino, James Gunn, and Christopher Nolan. What makes their films so unique and how do they think? I spent the entire summer watching and analysing the majority of the films by the aforementioned directors since I was so curious. It amazed me. By the end of the summer, I was certain that I wanted to be a filmmaker and director. I also watched

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
