3D tracking VFX test - 3d tank - Boujou, 3ds max, Adobe After effects

[3Dsmaxcb]

is it vray?

[Dirk0Zijlstra]

it looks good you just need to add an effect simulating the smoke i forgot its name

[084148]

Shadows on a overcast day does not look like the one you have for your tank.

[cruisingcody]

you should teach me, I plan on making a WWII/WWIII fighter plane movie

[johanzuk1]

awwws so small tank :)

[MisteroMikey]

Yes because a tank shell is going to make a bullet hole in a camera. LOL JK

[AL00ZER]

I know how hard it is to do that, especially trying pull off the realistic feel. Congrats!! :)

[TheCtk97]

was this hard?

[OxSADEKxO]

great videO!

[lolukeehh]

Looks fucking awesome, but the shadow doesn't really suit the environment but that's only a minor problem.

[HinkikProductions]

Thumbs up if blinked.

[ReconSniperGuy]

could you plz teach me?

[nellizer]

it could be better if the wheel track of the tanks were also in motion...

[Seather2]

i cant get the tracking programs to work right :( what ever i do, it still gets noisy and bumpy :(

[thegameisover22]

very nicey done but your tank looked a bit to clean and flat colour but other than that awsome

[und3rc0v3rbr0ther]

0:16

tank gunner: da fuck u looking at?!! :D

[metroid557]

i shit myself

[borisaefx]

Great tracking!

The only thing I would change is the speed of that shot, you could have made it more interesting very simply by adding some smoke, maybe even the projectile...

Anyway, good work!

[hiQer]

people offiously dont understand what a concept is.. well people this is a concept!'

I have the same when i test a conept song on internet.. they should look at the overal look/sound and not to the details.. I think you did a great job with the tracking! keep it up-

[LiquidOrb]

Nicely tracked...Nearly flawless just need to add some movement to them chains.

[aghaanantyab]

what tracker program did you used to track the position of camera?

can 3d max work in mac?

tutorial please.....

[gpgpgp13322]

omg fake!

[PennyBank3]

@gpgpgp13322 HAHAHAHAHHA

[gpgpgp13322]

@PennyBank3 lol i was waiting for some noob to say of cause its fake u idiot or something lol

[elegezogan]

WAUVVV



[MrSenseofReason]

Hovertank shoots holes in your glass face.

[THEOLLIE228]

@AK47extra learn to spell you retard.

[AK47extra]

u can see that tank is face

[wsthoj]

the chain and wheel is not moving its floating

[alexkfridges]

@wsthoj true! haha i couldn't be bothered animating/rigging it, since thiwas mainly a test for match moving from boujou to 3ds and ae. i've rigged it now though, so if i ever use this tank in future the wheels will actually roll

[onelaststand1]

@alexkfridges the shadows look weird.

[usmceflips]

@wsthoj easy to say hard to do fuckface

[wsthoj]

@usmceflips Well I'm sorry of your concern.

[monguiller]

@wsthoj high tech! hover tank

[Milkshakman]

lighting was kind of weird and you should've rendered the shadow as a separate set of footage with the same setup so you could've blended it better, then precomped that and throw in the fog effect.

[QUATR00]

now the tank didn't really need to have those dark opaque sharp shadows as there are none in the environment. Some simple ambient occlusion would have looked a lot better :)

Some digital noise and a slight 1-2px blur on the tank element would make it blend in a bit more.Some color-correction would also be good as the environment has a blue tint to it, so you need to match that :)

I hope this helps :)

..one last thing - the end was VERY unrealistic :D

[alexkfridges]

@QUATR00 thanks for the tips. this video was never meant to be super realistic, obviously if i was compositing for a project i would do it properly. this was a basic match moving test, and i just happened to have a tank model lying around

also i made this in less than an hour. but thanks for the tips again, they will help for future.

:)

[QUATR00]

@alexkfridges no problem, it's always good to see a person who can take critique seriously and not go all "fuck you, man! Let's see you do better!" (and indeed I can, but whatever) :D

I hope some of the tips will truly help you. Keep it up man :)

[speedomike747]

Can i have the project files? id like to try this scene myself

[CartoonFreaky]

ITS all epic but i got a couple of questions :P my friend is into 3DS , and i wanna ask how did you do the shadows? and is it possible to to make the tank jump abit with the cannon shot??

thanks, and a Thumps Up.

[GraphiteGum]

The cannon shot made me jump! L0L!!

Nice motion tracking!

[dlevanchuk]

Very very nice. Id add little bit more of a blur and tiny bit of digital noise to the tank, so it would stick out of the footage, but blend in more

[alexkfridges]

@dlevanchuk thanks for the advice! also i would need to animate the wheels to move haha

[folioinjello]

Dude. Fukin. Props.

[lucaness1]

YOU ARE A SPEACIAL EFFECTS GOD!!! I WILL GIVE YOU ALL MY BELONGINGS

[alexkfridges]

@lucaness1

why thank you.

[lsm234]

nice, but the lighting on the tank was a bit weird.

[alexkfridges]

@lsm234 yeah i know hahah, the shadow's like massive even tho there are no shadows in the footage. but i just wanted to see what the shadow would look like.

[lsm234]

@alexkfridges oh. anyway keep it up!

[espanhol0000]

@alexkfridges for outside scenes the best render you can use is mental ray with final gather (my opinion)

great scene by the way! and incredible sound effects!
