🕶️ A view of its UI (taken from the site, on a dark theme) with a scene being displayed on the main part (a small blue toy robot in a cluttered scene reminiscent of an attic, and a small white sphere representing the lighting with its vectors illustrating the rays of light), the graph of the scene in the window below (‘Graph Editor’ tab) and 2 other parameter-setting windows on the right-hand side.

📚️ Gaffer is a libre, multiplatform, flexible, node-based VFX tool that allows image developers, lighting designers and compositors to easily design, adjust, iterate and render compelling 3D or 2D scenes. In particular, it allows users to design and modify scenes of arbitrary complexity by performing numerous operations non-destructively, and to build advanced shaders (via node plug-ins combined with standard Arnold, Cycles, 3Delight and Tractor shaders, and its Open Shading Language or Python). Logic, filters and expressions can be used to create scalable node networks for automated and responsive VFX solutions.

I animated this one too!

Getting the chrome to look the way it does was a fun challenge. It didn't reflect anything but the environment in the reference.

I had a good time figuring out how to make the purple wall texture procedurally, too.

Trapper Keeper Art #3

The chrome bits in the foreground were supposed to look a little more liquid-like. But I didn't like how the effect jittered in animation, so I just made them blobs.

Maybe something to revisit later.

A 3D render of old 3D art from the 80's/90's. A chunky block of ridged purple landscape is angled across the view. It looks like it was sprayed with a lighter swooping material. A light blue/lavender river comes down over the middle of it, the waterfall sparkling in the light, ending at the bottom in a light mist. Large chrome balls slowly follow the river and waterfall downward. Distorted chrome bits flow upward from the mist, swooping across the view to the right. The sky in the background is a bright yellow which fades to red at the top and bottom, with sporadic stars fading in and out.

Some more animated Trapper Keeper art for your eyeballs. 👀

I'm not gonna call this a series yet, but I made another Trapper Keeper render. 😎

#blender #blender3d #b3d #compositing #retro #render #cycles #art #digitalart

A 3D render of a series of large red cones floating over a dreamlike, shiny, tiled landscape. The cones have chrome swirls going around the back, and have slices cut out of them, and a bright green cone of energy can be seen inside. The tip of the cones are touching a water-like surface above, creating ripples that emanate outward. The water/sky is a deep blue and the ground tiles are purple, fading to blue in the distance, before fading to a bright yellow horizon. Shiny purple bubbles are rising from the tiles in the distance.

A good day is any day you don't have to spend hours hand rotoscoping old hand-cranked camera footage where every frame jumps all over the gate and which was grainy to begin with, and is probably a print of the original transparency stock, but has since been h264 compressed just a little too much.
I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to guess if I'm having a good day today.

Here's an animated version of the Trapper Keeper art!

Could do more with it, but this is not a bad start. 😎

Made some Trapper Keeper art in Blender!

A 3D render of a collection of abstract chrome shapes, over a series of colorful, glowing triangles, on top of a bright rainbow grid. The image looks like the cover of an old Trapper Keeper binder from the 80's/90's and is grainy.

Brand new version of Friction just came out, the After Effects-like app for Linux and other OSes. The new 1.0.0-RC3 introduces gizmos, snapping, and grid systems, alongside bug fixes. Definitely check it out if you're into such type of video animation/compositing.

If it isn't reportage, then I do not think many would hold it against you if you photographed the moon full wherever you are - at about the same latitude - and composited it in.

Pretty picture.

One of my favourite VFX techniques is using ST Maps to transform images inside of Nuke.

It's gotten me out of quite a few jams.

🕶️ A view of what should be (image retrieved from Twitter, the site gives no screenshot) its UI. A UI on a dark theme with on the main part the rendered scene (a room full of treasures, highlighting reflections, shadows and lighting effects) and all around the settings boxes with rendering graph, timeline, many tabs and menus.

📚️ OpenMoonRay is a libre, multi-platform MCRT (Monte Carlo Ray Tracing) rendering engine. It is developed and maintained by DreamWorks Animation for all of its feature film production. It is a state-of-the-art tool including a vast library of production-tested physical materials, a USD (Universal Scene Description) Hydra (interactive pre-visualization renderer) delegate, distributed/multi-machine rendering (optimized to use all the cores of a machine to the maximum, and able to switch from GPU to CPU if needed) and cloud-based via the Arras distributed computing framework.

I VFX Supervised this year's #LeagueOfLegends Worlds Tournement. And it had the most ambitious VFX pipeline yet. 😮
We made 60 VFX shots in 3 days.
Using #Blender3d and #EEVEE to render all the backgrounds. #DavinciResolve cloud projects to distribute the compositing and rendering.
With a team of 3 main artists handling, #3danimation and #compositing.
And 10 helpers doing #rotoscoping and #CameraTracking.
Thank you everyone involved to make this work! 🥹❤️‍🔥
