Sr. 3D Generalist

Reports to: Post Production Supervisor

Roles / Responsibilities

The primary focus of the Sr. 3D Generalist is the creation of original content for inclusion in Mind Over Eye contracted projects. The following is a list of the primary roles and responsibilities of this position:

PRIMARY – A thorough knowledge of all of these skills are required at a minimum

3d Generalist: 3D Studio Max 2009+ (preferred), Maya 2009+ (minimum)
o 2d Design
o 3d Design
o Modeling
o Fluid/Soft/Rigid Body Simulation
o Texturing/Shading
o Lighting
o Camera/Element Animation

Rendering: Must be able to render final image elements for final compositing, including multi-pass rendering of frame buffers and the re-assembly of those elements into whole compositions.
o Mental Ray (minimum)
o V-Ray (ideal)

Compositing Etc.:
o Image/Element Prep
o 2d/3d Tracking (Boujou 5, PFTrack)
o Rotoscope (Monet 3+, After Effects CS4+, Nuke6+)
o Keying
o Final Compositing (After Effects CS4+, Nuke6+)

I tracked this shot in PFtrack and I took a little time this morning to assemble a breakdown for the ol’ demo reel. Let me know what you think of the solution and breakdown.

I did the camera solve and the 3D scene setup for the VFX compositor. I know the key is pretty bad, but I just needed something to make sure everything was lining up properly and that there was no slipping. It was a moderately difficult solution because the guy in the grey suit keeps eating my tracking markers! I was also the on-set Matchmove supervisor, and I got enough tracking markers, I think I would use more Gaf-tape markers next time because they are easier on the compositor. For this solution these high contrast markers were pretty nice though.

I want to fix up the text a little, and maybe the speedramp isn’t the best, but any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hey guys,

I have Maya 2011 on a mac and I was wondering if I could reset the Batch Renderer in Maya. I am very new to Maya, I was a Cinema 4d user, so it is a lot different. You see I setup a batch render and let it go half way. I stopped the batch render by just closing the script editor, not by using the stop batch render command. Now in the same project I tried to start the batch render again after I made a few changes, but this time it would start rendering where I stopped and only for a few frames not till the completion of the timeline. I read some forums which said to start a new file import the old file and optimize the render settings and then try it again. Problem is that It starts rendering the new sequence, but along with the frames where I left off with in the previous file. That is I stopped the render in the first file around frame 450, so as frame 1 of the new file is rendering, 451 from the old is rendering too. Also as a result my new sequences images look kinda weird, not at full res and like the sky that I setup is missing. I can send both .mb files if you would like to look at them. Please help!

Hi folks,

I need to import a character animation for a previz (from Maya) into Nuke.

I think one chance is export a fbx and import it into Nuke with the animated mesh.

Then, texture the fbx as regular in Nuke and if UV’s are correct, the textures will be added correctly.

Do you know if this works? Is there any other method?

All the help should be welcome.

Thanks in advanced.
