How do I replicate this sort of image style digital matte paint (chev advertising)

Hello all,

I see this sort of effect imagery around a lot of the time, but I can’t actually figure out what they have done to achieve the look. (I’m not talking about the subject or the HDR sort of background, but more the feel and style the image gives, as I have seen this sort of technique used on other subjects).

It’s like the image has been enhanced and made to look almost like a painting. I’m talking a bout the shading, highlighting etc.
Is there a techniques/tutorials around to replicate such a style?, I’d love to be able to know how this image was built from the ground up etc. Photo of car taken, background brought in, the extra subtle flares and shading, leveling out the colors in photoshop etc.

I know of digital matte painting etc, is this effectively what this is?

If you go to the chev website you get that sort of feels from alot of their advertising images, especially in the camaro section.

First time post on vfxtalk for me.

Any help would be great

Nuke variables

I’m trying to find a list/table for Nuke’s programming variables like "%04d". I haven’t been able to find it in the manual. Anyone know where I can find that? Thanks.

Sand Storm effect

Hello friends,
I am trying to recreate the sandstorm effect from the movie The Mummy. The effect in which a face appears in the sandstorm. I am unable to get the initial particle push & shape when the particles hit the mountain. Any tutorials or guidelines would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Add CameraShake to 3D Camera

Hey, I’m struggling with adding a camera shake to my setup. Sure – I could just add the cameraShake Node after my scanline renderer, but that gives me missing parts in the edges of the pictures. The best would be, if there is any chance to get the output of the cameraShake node and plug it into an Axis node, that is connected to my 3d camera. Is that possible?

Many thanks!

Question about Nuke and Flame

So lately I’ve been wanting to learn Autodesk Flame more than Nuke, but someone told me that Flame is going out of popularity…this true? I mean I’m a visual effects major but I’d rather learn Flame more than Nuke.

If anyone has any input to this question I’d love to hear.

Footage for practising

Hi all, my name is Gerard
I am just learning and am looking for some footage were actors are shooting at eachother. I want to practice the ancient art of people getting their brains splattered over walls 🙂 also tracking muzzles to place flashes.

Would be grateful for any links to stuff I can mess around with. footage that i could work on Explosions and fire etc as well would be cool (preferably chromakey stuff)

thanks in advance
