There are several kind of software’s
are available to create required visual effects like Auto desk 3ds, Autodesk
Maya, Adobe Photoshop, Silhouette etc.,
The processes in the software’s considered as tools based on the needs
of the workflow which is fulfilled by tools Rotoscopy, Adobe After Effect,
Digital painting, Compositing, Design, Previsualization, Motion capture,
cleanup Model, UVs Shaders, textures, Skinning, rigging, Matte paintings, Camera
extraction, 3D data transfer, Animation, Simulation, Lighting, Rendering, Pre-comp,
Composite Finishing, conform Editing Grade etc.,
Rotoscoping :
Rotoscoping is a vital process
within the visual effects pipeline.
In traditionally, to tracing over live action footage frame by frame for use in
animated films.
Tool – Adobe After Effect :
It is a digital effects, motion
graphics, compositing application developed by Adobe systems & used in the
post-production process for Film making & Tv production.
Digital painting : ( Filling up
adding details)
Set Extensions tools like Photo
Shop, Gimp, Maya,Nuke
Compositing
:
It means Software + Art
mixing used as tools Photo shop, After effects, Nuke,3D compositing .
Create advanced graphics, color
grade, or perform high-speed 2D and 3D compositing.
Expand layer-based timeline effects
with a single click into a customizable, schematic view.
Maintain total control over lighting
in your project.
Tracking/Match
moving : (Creating 3D camera matching to real one)
Matchmoving, which is also
referred to as motion tracking, is important for any VFX artist to understand... This process of matching the movement of the live action footage with a
virtual camera is called matchmoving, because you are trying to match the
motions of the camera.
ONE
KIND OF THE EXAMPLE - USE OF SILHOUETTE
SOFTWARE IN VFX :
Rotoscopy
This focuses on the significant
updates to the UI, Trackers and Roto toolset. This is about fully articulated Rotoscoping.
Fast.
Paint
Set up your Paint Node to work
quickly between different tools and brushes. Then use Auto Paint to do the rest
of the work for you.
Warping
and Morphing
The new Morph Node opens up a whole
world of opportunities. We start with fundamentals before making a cat talk and
use an extreme morph example to show the concepts and practice.
S3D
Node
Generate 2D-3D Conversions with
enormous speed, flexibility and control. Use Silhouette's many tools and Nodes
to make dimensionalization a snap compared with other techniques.
For tracking tools for CG artists
Such as F track, Cage, Scenios,
Shotgun
Ftrack
offers a wide range of tools to manage VFX and CG projects of any size,
Ftrack
is primarily designed to manage the VFX on feature films, from assets to
artists. But it does scale well, and so I've used it for much smaller jobs
involving five or six artists.
With
Ftrack, producers can schedule and assign shots to artists and get notified
when the artist has finished a version, which can then be shared with the
client, all from a web-based interface.
Senior
artist and supervisors can add instructions to shots too. This means that when
an artist starts their day, it's clear what they need to do and they can easily
create dialogues with others on the team, which is all handled through Ftrack.
Cage is an excellent tracking tool for standalone artists
who work both with stills and animation.
Scenios
Scenios offers a wide range
of products to manage your project from shoot to delivery.
Shotgun
Shotgun offers desktop and iOS apps to help keep you abreast
of your project while mobile
In many ways, Shotgun and Ftrack perform the same task.
They'e similar in price, and Shotgun has recently adopted an interface that's
as easy to navigate as the newer Ftrack. Where the main difference lies,
though, is in Shotgun's new range of dedicated apps for mobile devices as well
as applications for your desktop.
