Part 3: Developing a Way to do Action Scenes Without Money

Since the last post in this series the project I've been working on became way more ambitious. The original problem I was trying to solve, was figuring out how to use computer graphics ( mainly Blender ) to cut costs for an action scene in a movie I'm developing. It has cars, so the idea was to try to render some CG cars into real life footage. You can go read Part 2 to see my attempts at this sort of thing.

At first I decided to write my own grid creation function, and then I realized that if I used it in a decal, it would be similar to a scanner effect. Unreal Engine 5, material. I'm sure Kevin Flynn would like this

Yes, paint and cleaning techniques are widely used in modern movies. This saves a lot of money on set by eliminates the need to redo a take if something or someone is in the frame.

I have a lot of paint for my current film, but I haven't had a camera until now. The main task is to paint over anachronisms, some set technicians, and set gears.

This type of work is called invisible VFX. If done well, it should be unnoticeable. 😊

Watched on 3D and although it felt more.like the greatest hits of the first two movies, leave it to Cameron to make a 3+ hour fulm seem.like a brisk 90 minute one. As.always the action, the visuals.and were stunning. Loved Varang

Noticed that the credits were way longer than anticipated.

Also I got a nifty lenticular card.out of it (they now charge extra to rent the 3D glasses)

I'm getting close, but it still not enough. What's missing to make it truly real?

I just received the Tron Ares issue of the VFX Magazine Before and After. The fact that they are using the old school Cinefex format just makes my inner nerd all happy inside.

@gaghyogi49 This side-by-side is an excellent illustration of the pseudo-3D #VFX the creators attempted when filming the viewscreens in #TNG. Always appreciated the effort it would take to plan to match the camera angle when filming the bridge and the remote set.

If I recall, most of the composited view screenshots in #DS9, #VOY, and #ENT were shot head-on and avoided this kind of creativity. Now I need to watch those #StarTrek series more carefully to find the examples, if any!

I've gotten really into "VFX Artists React", lately. It is kind of fascinating.

I finally learned something in the image editor (I'm a programmer, not an artist), and created a test texture for which I created a material in Unreal Engine, and this is what came out of it. Over time I will show the code on my YouTube channel.

Watching #PredatorBadlands is a real treat for #VFX, #CGI and #XenoBiology aficionados, just like #AlienEarth! 😉👍

That new #TheRunningMan movie is also quite entertaining, but it should/could've been a bit more on the nose, for my taste. But what am i complaining about? We're getting the magnificent Lee "Empire" Pace! 👍 (the #IMDb page needs some work; it lacks the Network bossmang actor in the Top Cast section)

Here's a BTS of me prototyping the initial implementation of Twitch Bot, I'm making for my stream ✨

I'm streaming on both YT & Twitch. Today, I'm going to make the animated visual effect be done through twitch directly 😀

I just watched Tron in 4K and this movie is truly magical to me. The fact that they were able to accomplish this back in 1982 still blows my mind.

We owe a lot to the trailblazers who brought us this VFX masterpiece.

That and lightcycles!!

I'm not taking Oscars seriously since they snub Alita Battle Angel back in the day. IMHO if that movie didn't get VFX Oscars, none other movie should have one. It was and still is a masterpiece. #Oscars #AlitaBattleAngel #VFX
