HUD concentric circles V1
June 30, 2020
Inspiration #1: https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-22888744 #2 I have attempted to create something resembling the above examples in 3D program Blender. 2D HUD objects flat on XY plane don’t look good in renders. May need to solidify and view at an angle. Source Files concentricV1_001.blend concentricV1_002.blend Note: file was saved with [ / ] active. press […]

FFmpeg
June 26, 2020
Blender versus FFMPEG Using FFmpeg is preferred over Blender Video Sequence Editor (VSE) as it runs mean and lean from a command prompt, does not need to render images prior to encoding, encodes multi-processor and offers many encoding options. Use Blender VSE for multi track video editing.

Blender camera tracking (video)
June 21, 2020
Some great tutorials for inspiration. Note this is somewhat different from placing green/blue screen opacity masked real video footage into a rich 3D environment. Here we are simply adding single 3D elements to an existing video. Having said that, both scenarios require camera tracking. Here is an example of green screen footage […]
Blender / fSpy camera matching (still image)
June 21, 2020

This allows you to place 3D objects as if they were part of the background image. fSpy is an open source still image camera matching utility. Here’s an outline […]

VertexWeight + Mask modifier
June 18, 2020
Source Files mods_vertexweight_mask.blend Render Notes The downside of using vertices > weight painting > mask to create a dissolve / appear effect is that the effect requires a serious subdivision amount to look hi-res. An animated shader is better suited for this task. Empty.001 Suzanne.001 Create vertex group ‘Gradient’ Subdivision modifier Render: 4-6 Viewport: […]
