[bebeDesigner]

nice. at first i thought you are just a lame but then it got better.

[enjoiskate11]

nice motion tracking! did you by any chance take a video, make the animation and render it against a green backround, and then green screen out the ship and use keyframes to make it look like it was really in the shot???

[xXxAshersxXx]

how the hell did you do that? lol

[rotjesenmatjes]

Loelwhut

[Homeboy011]

dang i forgot to engage my cloaking device when i entered my garage.

[MortallicA91]

amazing...

Icarus huh? looks good

i'm using Boujou i'm hoping i'll make something with reality and 3d one day...

the hard part is to find realistic materials...

[Halfback1990]

"the hard part is to find realistic materials..." its hard to do but not to find.

[Redhellmet]

that was really good. I'm well impressed.

[emperiorr]

wow that's pretty sweet

[NateNYC]

Very well done!

[SonicFreak4]

OMG! That was too cool! Could I give you a clip and you do something like this to it?

[mzh3000]

I HAVE ONE OF THOSE =D

[firedrop92]

did you do this in blender?

[carpenoctem66]

Impressive! Did you use Voodoo Camera Tracker to make this?

[mpan3]

actually this one is using Icarus (free)

[ericohman]

nice! once i imported track data (point cloud) into blender from PFHoe track and I enable the viewport background and load a QT movie, I get strange results. The movie is scaled *2 but just in the middle, it's like a box area of the movie that's scaled up *2. do you know why that happens? i will try to solve this tomorrow, maybe it's better to use an image sequence instead of a QT movie. also, how do you make a plane in Blender that only renders the shadows? like matteshadow material in 3dsmax

[mpan3]

regarding your second question: material panel > only shadow.

[earthgk2222]

lol but there are thats planes and ufos

[earthgk2222]

world war 3 starting the autumn

[earthgk2222]

the nefelims and demons(bodylesses)govern usa,after 42months from the start of world war 3 the technology of electric will unacting and the 2012(now is 2003 at real calendar)the army of asana athens at nibiru and the army of apolon and other will destroyied the army of nefilims.

[Videoboy45]

lolz

[Bravoalpha191]

my neigbour have the same car

[mpan3]

my neighbor have the same plane.

[blenderanim8or]

THis was well done and executed. I would say that to make it even more believable you could have put a few pieces of paper or debris in the street to be effected by the exhaust. Very well done though, very well done!

[ahmad3d]

Good work composition look cool

keep it up

[Chrisiaut]

very nice! far the best "What was THAT?" entry for now

[timelord111223332211]

How do you put a movie in the background

[hurrican47]

Wow, very nice! I got blender the other day, and Im hopin I'll be able to make these kinds of animations one day, lol.

First, I gotta figure out how to make a video, anyone know how to do this?

VERY cool video, im gonna FAV this, lol

[hitechboy722]

WOW that was so dope, how did you manage to syncro the camera movement so well with the craft.your the guys that are responsoble UFO sightings ... and thats a complimment! good work.

[mpan3]

google for "peerless Icarus Video Tutorial Series"

[3DGURU2]

good work :) .

[ktheblenderuser]

do you think you can make a video tutorial on how to do this? (nice vid by the way!)

[xcon99]

what was that! it's a plan u idiot haha nice

[migium]

Excellent work. The style of the render went seamlessly with the video.

[mpan3]

upon revisiting the video, i wish there is more camera movement to make the video more interesting. But this is my first live-action/CG composite, so...

[klingklang2006]

OMG !!!!! I cant believe it IT's a UFO OMG!!!! Im gonna call my regional MUFON  to tell them about this newly discoverd UFO video ha ha ha ha ha ha Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[mpan3]

guess what their response is going to be?

"photoshopped!"

[CheeseSample]

Or more like, "Blendered"! LOL : )

[rubadabdub]

Wow, excellent stuff =)

I hope to get at least slightly as good as you are.

[mpan3]

come on, I designed the jet myself. It might resemble the X-men jet, but it's not :D

Walk-through for the video coming up...

[sattanhellsing]

superb !!!!! bravo !! bravo !!! 5 stars !!!

[thefirston]

was that the xmen jet

[mpan3]

i know i know, sound sucks. I threw together the sound in audacity in less than a minute.  But doesn't the video make a 2008 Audi looks like a 2 cylinder lawn mower? :-)

[alman51]

nice

[IndianaStilts]

WOW!! HOW AND HOW CAN I DO IT! LOL nice work 5/5

[michimichimichimichi]

[JoseWiiSantos]

[dodgydavec]

Oh, wow. Mike, you are the best!! Share your talent with me please :D:D 5 stars

[EggYolk]

LAWL NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE some of your best work Mpan, I love it. the reflectivity on the windshield kinda gives it away though.

[NeoNinja7]

damh that was sickkkkkk....

[mpan3]

My first CG/live composite test, for a high resolution version, go to blenderartistsDOTorg/forum/sho­wpost.php?p=894758&postcount=1­1

[Lozoot64]

Thats great.  I have one question though. Is there a way to insert footage into blender, and use your footage as reference when you animate? If not, how did you make the animation seem so perfect?

[mikezenox2]

You might be able to do a little of that in the sequence editor but it lags alot =\.
