Just wanted to throw this info out there! Been seeing a few people struggling because they're effectively trying to get a 3d track out of 2d movement- it's a super easy fix, though!
AL...
I think I already have these floating around somewhere (the robot at least), but these are even a bit more optimized.
Huge thanks to Nate Taylor for doing most of the crab modeling!!

Somebody asked how to do this over in the YouTube comments, so here we go! Quick little intro to object tracking.
Being able to combine an object track with a camera track is seriously so c...
AHHH! Welcome, all you new folks!!! Very glad to have you here :D
While Kaitlin (the love of my life and gal in most of the stuff I've been posting lately) and I were out on the coast a few ...
Truth be told, I'm weirdly nervous about this one. Like, motion tracking is so dependent on the footage that it's hard to make a one-size-fits-all about it. I did a ton of tests though, so...
2020-03-24 08:10:36 +0000 UTC View PostBeware all ye' who enter. This is just a messy folder of pictures I took on my phone over the past couple months, but I use them all the time, and sometimes it's nice to have additional resources t...

35 minutes?? Wow how the time flies. As always, apologies if I'm a bit babbly!
I'll be uploading these (and a few other vending assets) in a bit here! Gotta go get a few minutes of ...
Check out this shot animated by Dan Fox!! I'd done an initial pass, and it just looked super stiff and robotic- I'm really really happy with this. Thanks, Dan!! So much respect for good character a...

Video from.... 18 years ago? Music from 7 years ago, "edited" the other day- a collaboration across time!
Dunno if I'll ever release it (I like the song, but it could use some finishing/EQ),...
This is an explanation of the cans asset I just released at the "clearance 7" level, but it also has a breakdown of shenanigans you can do with the "Object Info" random input node, which as been a ...

This was fun :) I'll probably go in and create a new version of this at some point (I really want to add, like, a variety of 20 different soda names or something that could appear on the cans, too)...

300 OF YOU GUYS! We should make a movie about a bunch of barechested men with shields and testosterone- it'd be a hit.
Thank you all for being here! This has made the last couple weeks ...

I wish I had a sexier title for this post, because from my personal point of view, this is crazy exciting stuff- like, this is the 25 minutes of info I most wish someone had told me a long time ago...

I apologize that it's not more polished (and that the final result looks like a horrid marshmallow train), but I wanted to show the techniques I used to model the train asset I just uploaded, in ca...

I'm really pleased with how this model turned out, and it was surprisingly straightforward! I didn't do a screen capture or anything, but if anyone's curious I could do a quick breakdown video.&nbs...

So! We ended up not filming last night (though hopefully tonight!)
BUT! Filmed a TV turning on and off at 120fps- turned out kinda fun! Also got some random subtle noise in varying levels of fo...
So this evening the plan is to film the final shots of episode 1 of Dynamo Dream- we'll see how it goes. We've already filmed this scene, actually, but it just didn't work particularly well, so I'm...

Totally unedited, so... if you value your time, maybe just scrub around?
That said, if you happen to be a person who was curious about my modeling workflow, this is pretty demonstrat...

For anyone curious! There's a lot more I'd love to talk about with this shot (I kind of used it as an experiment zone), but for anyone curious about what I started with, but shows it pretty well.&n...

So this is crazy cool- Rokoko gave me a motion capture suit a few months ago (with the caveat that I make fun stuff with it), and they just released an update that lets me stream the motion straigh...
