Hasta La Motion!

I’m working in small company. We are doing restoration of old movies.
At the begining we worked on 720×576 files.
But now we’ll work with 2K dpx files.
Some work we doing in Fusion.

But DPX files we get from scanner look odd.

I have read about internal structure of dpx file here
http://www.fileformat.info/format/dpx/egff.htm

Our dpx files have field "Transfer" (byte at offset 801) set to 01 (Printing density).
Is it the same if it was set to 03 (Logarithmic) ?

If I bring these files to Fusion, it automatically applys LogToLin conversion in loader.
I also enable viewer LUT and set it to 2,2 to compensate monitor’s nonlinearity.

Is it normal thing that picture has blown out highlights? highlights also have strange blue-green noise. Most of the white color is overbright.
And whole picture become very grainy.
I don’t think that this is how good picture must look like.
Get the same result if put files to the Nuke.
If it’s ok, then what is the reason of such highlights?

My question is how "right" picture must looks like?

I think it is possible there is something wrong at scanning stage. Some wrong settings maybe.
Without LogToLin and with LUT turned off, files look better.

Advice from experienced people needed. 🙂
May be someone can send me example of DPX or CIN you work with? or show it here. Please.

Some examples

Last two pictures I made from DPX file given to me by some vfx guy. He said "don’t worry about highlights". :rolleyes:

Sorry for my bad english

1) wen i use fill object it doesn’t fill the whole model, it fills it in parts, no matter wat i do with the resolution(500) or number of particles(8000000) it stays tat way. I even tried decreasing the scale but then it doesn’t fill the object at all.

2)another thing i tried was to fill the object in Maya & then import it in Realflow & then create a mesh but then wat happens is it takes hell lot of a time to create the mesh & the created mesh in no way happens to fill the human body it bcums much larger than the model. which still can be handled to an extent if i get to create the mesh tat stays inside the model.

Please any kind of help wud be appreciated. I am trying to get the effect of the torch man from the fantastic 4. Suggestions welcomed.

Thanks.

Software I know: Photoshop,Maya,3dsmax,Realflow,Fusion,PFTrack and plugins for maya like BlastCode.

I am Pretty good at producing realistic renders and strong eye for compositing huge number of render layers and also an intermediate at fluid simulations in realflow and tracking in PF Track…

What sort of VFX demoreels will land us a job.

:freezing:Please Help!!!:freezing:

I m rendering Maya mv2DNormRemap motion blur pass as .iff filez with displace value of 512.

Its not getting the accurate motion blur in fusion with RSMB plugin.
The cylinders in the image are not moving at all. only hammer is moving in the scene.

i m following the Technique described

Plz Chek Attached thumbails & Basic renders.

Is there other way to produce motion blur???
