JUST CALL ME LEIF.

MOUNTAIN

The thing about people who are only referred to by a singlular name – like Elvis, Prince, Coolio or Sinbad – is they are either the most poignant person in the realm of culture or the complete demise of good taste in society. Leif, artist and designer from Melbourne, Australia, may not be either, but his cosmic art collages will get him a hall pass for the unaccompanied surname reference.

Removing Cameraman from a Mirror

Hello,

Any tips on how I can remove the cameraman from this shot?. A free hand move over the mirror and table. I can think of these and not sure if it fits and not yet tried any of them.

1. Paint the reflection for each frame in Photoshop
2. Matchmove the shot, make a similar geometry/model in Maya and try to project a clean plate of the mirror into the geometry?

Thankx for your help.

Thankx,
Haf

camera tracking for zoom in\out ?

Hi all,

I want to practice tracking some video footage that has zoom in\out whereas in the zoom in phase you obviously see details you didn’t see before so all previous tracking points are useless..

I did some tests with realviz matchmover and wasnt’ able to get smooth results at those parts though it could be just me not using the right technique.

What is the acceptable approach for such tracking and which software can handle it best?

Thanks.

*edit*
If I wasn’t clear enough, then for example lets talk about a video of a downtown street shot from a handheld camera while at the middle of the video there’s massive zooming in to one of the buildings.

The tracker node blurs my render?

Hey people

So, I think I am having the stated issue.

I’m not pro at fusion, and this is my first time tracking in fusion:

I have a piece of real footage with a camera shake and a piece of 3D animation I want to fit on top of it. The tracking works well enough – the 3D images fit, but my problem is that when I render it out, the 3D components are blurred slightly while the rl footage is as crisp as ever.

MotionBlur is turned off both on the overall scene and in the tracker node itself, and this is driving me mad.

Another weird thing is that inside fusion, its only the last ca.40 frames that are blurred, but the exported .tiff’s are all blurred, except for frame 1.

Hope someone can help me
-thanks

Creating a 3D Noise Texture – and moving through it…

I figured it would be a fairly straight-forward thing to do to use the Camera data to drive an fBm noise function in an Expression node, thereby creating a fairly rudimentary "cloud fly-though".
Using the lancularity, gain and octave variables, it should also be possible to tweak the settings. However, the movement of the noise would be entirely dictated by the Translation and Rotation of the Camera.

Is this correct or do I misunderstand the concept of 3D noise?

The Noise node seems to be halfway there, but there is no way to integrate the necessary movement.
Has anyone managed to do this?

Cheers,
B
