Project Files: Autodesk Maya files for every
chapter to follow along including all assets, Autodesk Composite files, the
original video plate, syntheyes solves and after effects files. What is not
included are the final exported Open EXR files due to the extremely large
filesize of over 30GB. These can easily be rendered out from the maya scenes
provided as seen in the video.
In this DVD, Instructor Matt Skonicki takes you through the entire process of
compositing 2 HD Shots with 3D integration. The best part of this tutorial is it
uses Autodesk Composite for compositing which ships free with Autodesk Maya
2011. Matt starts off by taking you On Location to demonstrate the capturing of
the raw plate and HDRI images. From there he goes through creating the final
HDRI image in Photoshop. The next chapters include detailed tracking in
SynthEyes, setting up the scene in Maya, creating masks in After Effects,
Animation of the 3D objects in Maya, adding particle effects, lighting, and
render layers. Last, Matt composites the final scenes in Autodesk Composite.
This tutorial is perfect for those who want an "Out of the Box"
comprehensive tutorial on compositing 3D into your own camera footage primarily
using Autodesk Maya and Composite.
