And you thought I am gonna Compete with high techs here? Naaaah :-). Someone has to come last :p
Though I am not from the VFX industry, I would like to participate and learn something with your expert help and advice.
My idea is to make something like the Harry Potter movie – Goblet of Fire. The starting scene showing the Quidditch World cup. :). The stadium structure was cylindrical in the movie but I plan to make it a Spherical stadium with people all over :). (I already see negative points for inspiration !!)
Will use AE, Nuke and Maya – Beginners knowledge.
Long live vfxtalk gurus.
Any thoughts will be appreciated now and later.

Single Channel EXR’s
Posted in: NUKE from The FoundryI have some single channel EXR’s. Nuke treats them as Alpha-only, when in reality they are really "Luminance." It’s not a big problem to shuffle things where I need them, but I’m wondering if there is some way to convince Nuke that they should be visible.
When I first load them in, Nuke just shows them as black, and I always panic for a second before I remember that I need to check the alpha for my image. It’s kind of annoying.
It’s not a big deal, but if there is a convenient way to do it, I’d love to know.

ok so i have this marker question posted in this forum:
http://www.vfxtalk.com/forum/paint-o…on-t27117.html
one suggestion was to:
– 3d track the camera
– put a plane in 3d space where the table would be and project the footage onto it
– create a 2nd camera (your new rendercam) and put it over the table looking 90 degree down. this render will give you the table without movement, only the reflection on the table changes.
now i have a pretty good track for this footage, but when i import the track to fusion, whatever i put as an image, the image plane/projector doesn’t follow the camera movement. i tried connecting paths to the cameras translation and rotation, but that didn’t seem to work.
So my main question for this is, how do I make a 180 degree pan track work in fusion?
