Hi all,
Ok, I’m VERY new to 3D comping, so forgive me if I sound like an idiot.
I was watching the MC maya to nuke video on the foundry’s website, and I have a question about it. In the video, it shows a building being projected onto a model. It also shows A LOT of steps that was needed to created a very suttle dolly in move.
So my question is this:
Why couldn’t he roto out the building via bezier, place it on a card, move it into Z space, and work out the rest from there? It seems like a lot of calculations & modeling that is needed to create a vey small parallax change. Not to mention, trying to align the projection on the model.
What am I not getting? Why is the projection used a lot instead of cards in z space?
Just a thought,
louCheck out fxguidetv episodes #70 as well as #48 for really great examples of what makes camera projection such a powerful technique. Also, here is a link to a really great piece created by onesize that uses only still photographs and camera projections onto human geometry. you can’t do this with cards in space! 🙂
