you seem to know everything there is about cg compositing, and was wondering where shake comes into the compositing process, or if it does at all?

[procgtutorials]

Shake is a non-linear compositor, it works similar to afx and combustion but with one advantage,it's nodal based and not stacked. Stacked files you have to open up with small cursors. With shake you can have multiple output channels to view different takes on one scene. So if you had one comb style and another, you can switch back and forth between them. These are relatively simple comps so I keep it within combustion or afx. If i was making King Kong, I'd use shake.

Great work, never knew about the velocity pass!

What's up with the BFX intro music?

[caspianfilms1]

Great work. I'm only wondering what did you use combustion for? Wouldn't just after effects do the job?

[TheDM75]

Can you do this with 3D Max? Or is Maya better?

Great Video.

Hey bud I was wondering if you could show me how to get that into a real footage I have been trying so hard but I have no clue. And also make it move if you can get me goring in the right direction I think I should be OK for though key points thanks bud.

same intro as sxephil, cool

[AtlantiXYL]

light is the hardest thing. i use 3d max and vray. one thing i found out that is very important is that. you must match the frame rate of your 3d footage and real footage. and the light need to be tested over and over.

[TheBlackOrchid]

yes, stolen from sxephil

[matherman]

I was thinking the same thing Ae!
