haha, look at the coffee maker... there is a piece of brick :P

Looks very well otherwise, very great job!

@AcAnimate hahah, yeah I think I moved the deflector of the coffee maker to the wrong layer or something..

[TheVoltage15]

What program do you use to cameta tracking? :D

[RichaRdvdOost]

@TheVoltage15 I used syntheyes, but with the blender builds of today you can do the same.

[TheVoltage15]

@RichaRdvdOost Thanks. :D

Thanks for the reflections material tip. Wish I had read this before doing lots of glass reflections in my tomato test. Good rocket, just the motion blur had some premultiply artifacts (white edges).

Wow! That looks really good. How long did it take you to do this? If you were asked to do something like this for pay, how much would you charge? I think there's a huge future in small Internet productions and I'm trying to figure out if adding computer effects would be financially practical.

@r39525 I'm on vacation right now. I'll pm you, thanks ;)

[TechnoStickmen]

great job! I've been trying to figure out how to include the shadows and reflections, but Ijust can't. Any keywords I can look up or tips you might have?

[RichaRdvdOost]

@TechnoStickmen Shadows are easy with the shadow pass in Blender. I made the reflection images with a complete black material wich only reflects the 3d objects in the scene. Then I added those images to the footage. Since adding black (zero) doesn't affect anything, it works quite well and only adds reflections ;)

Excellent. Now you make me want to try this out. Thanks.

[RichaRdvdOost]

@MarburyIntermedia Thanks, let me know what you created when it's finished ;)

[deltaray3]

Very well done. I like how it has an outcome. Thanks for showing the production layers.
