This is a bit of an oldie, but a goodie for any Blenderheads out there...a Camera Mapping in Blender (http://www.peerlessproductions.com/tuts.html) video tutorial. Does a nice job of explaining how to achieve camera mapping effects in Blender.

Here is everything I've put together on 'stitch-free' stitching of panoramic photos in 3D space. I used Maya, but you could probably even use After Effects...

[Suirebit]

a basic article about set extension http://www.tiberius-viris.com/tut1.html

[Suirebit]

I did a small tutorial explaining how depth, contrast and value work in 'real world', and how you can mimic them (what are the rules). Quite basic stuff, but might be useful for beginners :)

Click me (http://www.vfxdojo.com/free/tut.php?no=170)

I would really like your feedback, so that I can improve things in future tutorials - feel free to comment there or send a PM here.

[JJASSO]

very cool tutorial , I'm sure people will learn the basics in atmospherics and depth, great man !

[vENTANA]

Wow, Suirebit. great job. I know it will help me as I struggle in that area. Now all I need to do is get it from my head to the screen. thanks again. I

[Suirebit]

Thanks guys :) When I get more time I'll do other topics aswell, feel free to suggest!

[jorust]

Excellent tutorial Suirebit. Thanks! :thumbsup:

[Eagle66]

When I get more time I'll do other topics aswell, feel free to suggest!

Thanks for this basics. I suggest the the Matte Painting with realistic integrated VUE Elements like this:

Final shot

My problem is realistic.....

[Suirebit]

Eagle, I doubt there's any Vue in the example you shown, but it's a good idea for a tutorial.

[Eagle66]

Eagle, I doubt there's any Vue in the example you shown, but it's a good idea for a tutorial.
It is Mattepainting with VUE and its not a still Photo it is a movie :thumbsup:
http://www.fxguide.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=572

But there is no realistic Mattepainting with VUE tutorial on the web....

[Suirebit]

In the specific example you shown, there is no Vue involved. Trust my eye :)

Take a look at the Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus if you want to see some good examples of how Vue can be used; That movie is heavy with Vue scenes

[TheGoozah]

Are there more tutorials? Especially for beginners?

Cause alot of the links provided here are dead... Or are boanded to a specific
topic.

Thx in advance guys!

[everlite]

Yes, and dont forget to tell them that vue only takes you 60% of the way at best, then it comes down to classic photoshopping. Vue still has a Loooooonnggg way to go! ...

[Eagle66]

I also seraching a long time for VUE use in VFX Tutorials for realistic Terrains, Plants to use in Mattepainting with realistic movie footage!
All you found are Fantasystyle or cheating colors in still images but nothing for movies like i posted above....

There is a lot of Post, but the VUE Results must able to use in Post.

[Suirebit]

Hey guys,

Got something new for you - well not really a tutorial, but didn't want to open a new thread for it :)

There's a new free stock section on vfxdojo where David (everlite), me and several other guys are posting photos that you can use in your projects.

Head on to http://www.vfxdojo.com/stock.php

I am waiting for ONE realistic VFX Film Mattepainting tutorial. All tutorials you show are futuristic, concept art, digital illustration or superficial basics with unrealistic results and using Photos and no Film- or Videoscences.

The workflow of Film VFX Mattepainting for use as Camerprojection need Motionblur, Filmgrain or Videonoise and work seamless with the original Footage without cheating colors and washed out Details.
