[Shadow problem]

Yes I still have a light list for fill-in only the character.

 

from your suggestion I do many things.

This is original image used as rotoscope

 

retouch it.

 

shadow only from the image.

 

I try many ways with many tools to fit the shadow back to image in Choreography, but I can't do that.

 

"who needs a real shadow" Then I use new shadow image.

 

It's very good, but I did something errors like this.

[Shadow problem]

Did I do something wrong?

Why my shadow look like this?

 

 

[Shadow problem]

I get some ideas, thank you very much robcat2075.

I'll update next time.

[Shadow problem]

Thank you very much robcat2075.

My screen captured.

 

 

my target

1. I want to fake the shadow on the road hit the model.

2. I want 2 cuts for this scene with this rotoscope, first a long shot and second a medium shot.

I placed 2 cameras at same position but difference focal length, 29 and 145. (x5)

When use the focal length 145, I scale rotoscope = 500%

 

 

Every thing that what I want is very easy in A:M except the shadow on Front Projection.

A:M can add new Property. Can I add new Property "Darken Mode" to the Ground?

[Shadow problem]

I used Rotoscope and Front Projection, placed Transparency Map in front of Key Light for shadow on the model.

Used Light List to get shadow on the model but not on the Ground.

This is my Animated gif.

 

 

I can't find the way to fix(mix) shadow of model to the Front Projection, please tell me how to,

thank you very much.

[Panoramic Rotoscope]

I used image as a Rotoscope and the car move on the path.

I moved camera to view the car at the same perspective as the Roto at each frame.

(6 keyframes)

 

I use Kodak EasyShare Mini M200 and Hugin for make panorama.

I will try more thank you.

[Panoramic Rotoscope]

Thank you,

This is my test 02.

It needs more camera keyframes for proportion and perspective,

A big problem is how to make the shadow on the road hit on the car.

Thank you.

[Panoramic Rotoscope]

I made this panorama

 

and used it as Rotoscope

 

moved Rotoscope (right to left at 00:00:00 to 00:08:00)

put model moved on the path (left to right)

set camera keyframes to get good perspective (at 00:00:00/00:04:00/00:08:00)

created small ground and constraint > Transtate To model

set Option : Front Projection Target ON / Receive Shadow ON (for shadow)

and Render to Files. (3 Passes)

 

this is loop action

[Video to image sequence help]

You can use GIMP with Gimp GAP (Gimp Animation Plugin),

[ Menu: Video > Split Video into Frames > Extract Videorange ]

all free.

[How to freeze Sprite System?]

I used Sprtite System created leaves for a tree, it's easy and look very good.

 

I can use this technique in still images.

 

But in animation it ....

 

How can I freeze the sprite system?

Thank you very much.

[How do you make a ski lift work?]

I sorry, I can't explain detail in English.

When use Filter > Animation > Optimize... (for reduce file size),

GIMP auto set to combine. If I set to Replace it look like this.

[How do you make a ski lift work?]

Type delay between frames in Layers.

Thank you.

[Rolling coin action]

I did it in another way.

- created a spiral path, put the Coin move on the path.

- created two separate actions for the Coin, Action1_Spin and Action2_LayDown.

- put these 2 actions to the Coin and changed Action Blend Method to Add.

 

- adjust the high of spiral path to keep the Coin touch the Ground.

(frame by frame from start Action2_LayDown to end)

 

Camera view.

 

This is the Project file.

CoinTest_a02.prj

 

I think, I will Bake All Action and test with NewtonPhysics.

[Is it Toon Render?]

I captured these pictures from " Hezarfen the movie " for study how to render like this with A:M.

This is the linked.

 

How to render like this?

Is it a Toon Render with good painted Decal?

Did they use Fog? (notice at far distance)

Have AO in the scene or not?

 

I tested Toon with multiple lights and Fog without decals and AO/off.

It's not good enough. Please guide me how.

 

This is my test and my setting.

 

This is the project file.

[How do you make a ski lift work?]

This is my Try-out.

 

 

I used Distort and Constrain to Path and fixed Ease = 0% at first and last frames.

It's very difficult to write detail in English, This is the project file.

ski_lift_embed_all__2re01.prj

[How do you make a ski lift work?]

I get knowledge from Hash forum for a long time, but never ask or post because of my English language,

This is my first post, please forgive me if I do something wrong.

 

I get ... " ski_lift_embed_all.prj " ...used Dynamic Constraint, and here it is

 

 

I'm sorry I can't explain in English, this is the project file.
