Kill Daemons aren’t killing?

Posted in: Realflow
I have a question for any Real flow expert who can help me out. I have set up a scene with 4 vases sitting in a pebble pool. Each vase has water coming out of it. What I am trying to do with this is that when the water hits the pebbles the water dies out. So I thought to use the kill daemon and set it up to kill the fluid when interacting with the pebbles. I am a beginner user and I don’t know what I am doing wrong but I want to leave some screen caps of what my settings are and to see what I need to do. Any help is great, in the mean time im going to watch tutorials and see if i can fix my mistake.

Anamorphic workflow in Syntheyes

Posted in: Matchmoving Software
Hello guys,
I wonder if anyone can help me jumpstarting an anamorphic workflow in Syntheyes.
The project was shot on anamorphic Hawk lenses. The film is very green screen heavy, and often, there are no features (horizontal or vertical lines) that would help me figure out the lens distortion. All I’ve got, 90% of the time, is a green screen backdrop and the characters in front of it.
I know the focal length for each of the shots, however, it isn’t of much help, since it seems that Syntheyes automatically calculates the Field of View based on the focal length — but the Field of View it gives me is wrong (since the lens is anamorphic.) At the same time, I cannot really do anything meaningful in the Image Preparation panel, since I don’t have any lines in the shot to go by, as distortion reference.
Any ideas on what needs to be done, in this case? Our 3D guys have the cameras set up for a particular FOV/Focal Length relationship in Maya, which works for them, and I suppose I could just feed their settings in Syntheyes’ Lens Preparation panel, but Syntheyes wouldn’t let me enter these values separately: they seem to be linked, and I can either enter a correct FOV with an incorrect Focal Length, or the other way around…
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Michael

Baby I’m Yours by Irina Dakeva

Posted in: 2D animation, aquarelle, Baby I'm Yours, Breakbot, cel animation, Colorful, Disco, Ed Banger, General, hand-painted, Irina Dakeva, rotoscoping, transitions, watercolor, Wizz

We saw this beautiful cel-animated and aquarelle-painted music video by Irina Dakeva for Breakbot recently and wanted to find out more about the production process she used. You can tell immediately that it’s a real analog and painted work. It’s got a real energy and kinetic style of painting that is entrancing. The inventive transitions and constantly-shifting color washes go hand-in-hand with the bouncy, French pop-disco track.
