Renders/NewFootage

I’m also including this bird’s eye view in my sequence. The shot was taken from an FXphd tutorial that I purchased and am licensed to use in a showreel. The shot was surprisingly easy to matchmove. I plan to include more geometry so some shadows can be cast, which will further “sell” the shot.

Here is a test render with some geometry flowing through the scene. This is just a rough reflection pass. This shot was a huge pain to match move. The match is close enough for what I’m going to do with it.

Since I was having such a difficult time the other shots, I went back to one of the locations and shot a few “cleaner” shots.

Jordan Rempel wrote a clever mel script that uses a particle system to generate curves and animation along those curves. I have been experimenting with his script. I hope to use some of this in my project.
