Hello Roto!
Posted in: Freelancer ListingsHello! My name is Stephen Gall and I am a Motion Graphics artist specializing in Rotoscoping, keying, tracking, and tracking marker removal. I have worked for Brand New School on a few commercial projects which can be found on my website (www.two-headed-dragon.com) and most recently worked on a commercial for Nomad Editing Company. I’m looking for some more opportunities in the industry on either a freelance or full time basis. I am a self-starter and constantly learning new skills to add to my toolbox. For instance, I recently learned Mocha for AE and I’m now learning Nuke X. I enjoy absorbing knowledge from people I work with and solving problems creatively. Please give me a call, I’m easy to get along with and a hard worker. Any schedule is fine. As a side note, I am also experienced in web design and graphic design which should prove my flexibility and possible value to any team I join. My rate is $25 USD per hour and I’m available in the greater Los Angeles area, thanks!

Hi,
I would need some Houdini advice on how to create a smoke-effect similar to the Patronus spell in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix; swirling smoke turning into a shape.
I would need some Houdini advice on how to create a smoke-effect similar to the Patronus spell in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix; swirling smoke turning into a shape.
In my project I will have the smoke coming out of a bottle and turn into a man.
I am thinking of using an object shaped like a human, and emit smoke from this object.
Then set up some kind of goal or aim for the smoke to go to.
In Houdini 11 there is Pyro FX -> Wispy Smoke. Would it be the best way to create this effect?
And how to get the nice swirling movements one can see in the HP Patronus spell?
Leading the smoke with curves somehow?
Any tips or ideas would be great! (Step-by-step tutorial would be the best, but havent found any).

I have Autodesk MatchMover 2011 and I keep encountering one problem with the 3D view. I get these odd lines in the middle of my footage that repeats it, like it’s tiled. I can’t find the solution anywhere. Here is a screenshot of the problem: http://img824.imageshack.us/i/probleml.png/
If you look to the right, about 1/3 of the image is repeated. This is driving me mad.
