hey guys, i am off for the weekend. But i am having a thought here.
i was wondering on this effect:a guy standing on a beach, and a face coming out of this stomach, like, deforming his belly skin.
how about doing that ?
any ideas ? no 3D stuff.
i saw something similar in a showreel, i just can’t remember where. there was this dog, coming out of a t-shirt.

You might wanna do some pre stuff like cleaning the matte.
I don’t know if this will give you the effect you are looking for – just an idea.

Or you could animate a really sharp luma key to threshold it such that first the nose appears, then the further back parts.
You might be able to just paint a z-matte with a face as reference, would just need the general shape of nose, cheekbones, chin if you textured it well.
