Due to Christmas and new year being a very busy period at my shop where I work, I have been having to put in extra shifts to help out in store to deal with the high amount of customers, so … Continue reading
I have tried to use tracking a few times before, but it has always never turned out right, so I have tried to practice using some different types of tracking.
For this post I will be looking at 2D or 1 point tracking.
First, I Inserted stock footage into the project and created a null object. This will be used to add the tracking information.
once I had added the footage and the null object, I could start adding some tracking.
animation > track motion
With the tracking , it is best t choose a contrasting point, dark area next to light area so that the computer can track that area easier. After this, you press play and the software automatically tracks that spot, although this doesnt always work, which is where my previous projects had gone wrong.
Above is the tracking data, which I then added to the Null Object.
Then I created some text and added it to the null object, so that it would follow the tracking points.
I just used “tracking practice” to see if it had worked, and luckily it did, so then I added another tracker to end up with this.
My next VFX project is turning my dog into “the Flash”, despite him being lazy and running really slow. I downloaded a lightning pack online to use for this project. The lighting is attached to Woodys shoulder using an origin … Continue reading
Over the summer, I have tried to sketch as much as I can, however I worked the majority of the summer so it was difficult trying to get the time in to do some work. I would have liked to … Continue reading
Drewbert is a corgi that is well known by a lot of dog fans on the internet, including facebook and instagram.
I decided to draw one of the photos taken of Drewbert that was posted onto his facebook page.
First photo taken
Again, like many of my other drawings, I keep forgetting to take photos between the process of the drawing.
This is a piece of art I worked on a while ago now but forgot to actually upload it anywhere.
I made this using a program called Paint Tool. Sai. The main dog was created using the paintbrush tool, the pen tool, the airbrush tool and a texture called “fur” to create the fur like feeling. Im not too keen on the way he came out to be honest, as it looks weird. This was mainly due to my graphics tablet not cooperating the majority of the time that I was doing this.
The background and the eyes was my favourite part of the painting. This was done using the airbrush and blur tools to make the colours blend into one another, then using a texture called “Wave13” that I added onto the software to help me create more texture types in the paint.
A few days ago, I went out on a walk to try and find a few things to draw to practice my life drawing. During the walk I found a few geese and decided to sit and sketch a … Continue reading
