VPN alright so in this video I'm going to show you how to own a lot of Bugattis sounds nice
right all right so in today's video I'm going to show you how to realistically integrate 3D cars
into your scene so here's what we've done I had ends away recording with the Panasonic s1h so we
capture High detailed prores footage to capture all the details so it's easier for trekking and
he is walking backwards while I'm doing my talk and we just act like there are going to be a
bunch of cars and then we also need a 360 image of location because this is the most important
thing for cars cars are highly reflective so they often look very fake when you're trying
to achieve them in 3D one of the biggest problems is because you don't see the realistic Reflections
from the environment captured on your car or the lighting is off so we are going to capture
a 360 image using the insta360 one X2 this captures a 360 image at multiple exposures
through the app I can control that so I take a bunch of photos underexposed midexposed normal
exposed higher exposed Overexposed then import it in Photoshop merge them together as an AGR
image which if I export it translates into an hdri which is an HDR environment
I think but it's I and environment is with e so I don't know maybe I'm wrong so I went
to Spain recently and I was already following a series here in Belgium on Netflix unfortunately
when I arrived in Spain I couldn't follow that series anymore because it wasn't available on
Netflix pane so luckily I had surf shark VPN that allowed me to log in from another location in the
world which was in this case Belgium once I did that and logged back in in Netflix I was able to
continue and watch my series relaxed so that's one of the biggest reasons why you would want
a VPN and also for the security of everything that you do online third-party Trekkers can't
follow anymore what you're doing online they also have a no log policy so everything you do
isn't logged anywhere and is completely in your control you can check out more with the link in
the description and if you use my coupon code Indians which you see right now on screen or
if you would scan in the QR code code then you will be able to buy a 24 months plan with three
months for free and an 83 discount which is insane and if that isn't good enough you also get a 30
days money back guarantee check it out link is in the description and let's get back with the video
anyway you have an Agri you can now import that in your 3D software so we're going to use that later
so I'm going to import my footage in Adobe After Effects and then I'm going to use the mask tool
to mask myself out roughly so the reason why I did that is so now we can apply the 3D camera tracker
to our footage and it won't look at those pixels so it won't be misinformed with a moving object
that is supposed to be static so then we're going to apply the 3D camera tracker and also enable
Advanced analysis this is going to leave us with a 3D camera track of our footage then I'm going
over to a place which I will consider the center point of my scene and I'm going to set ground and
origin Point here in After Effects then I'm going going to create a bunch of solids all over my
um yeah location just so I kind of get a grasp of the size of the location and then I'm going over
to file export and Export this for Max and Cinema 4D and then I'm going to import this in Cinema 4D
and I'm going to search online for a Bugatti 3D model I found this 3D model right here and
I imported that in cinema apart from that I did some small tweaks to this model because I thought
it wasn't High detail enough but I could have spent a lot more time to creating an even higher
quality model so it also kind of matters how you have modeled the entire car if it's high detail
High poly it's often going to look a lot more realistic than a low poly car that you're probably
downloading for a game let's say so make sure that you are working with a high quality product and if
not so you might need to tweak it in 3D here and there by the way if you're really interested in
learning more regarding the effects we're actually going to be launching our epic VFX Academy once
again and I know you've all been waiting for this but it's finally here this October we're going to
open the doors to a handful of students to join the Epic VFX Academy here you will learn epic VFX
from A to Z After Effects Cinema 4D type of stuff and you're going to join a Discord group server
with all of the students and you can also discuss problems and share your work for feedback we will
also organize weekly Zoom calls where my team and I will be supporting you answering questions
or giving feedback on your work to finally reach that next level if this sounds something for you
definitely check out Link in the description below sign up for the wait list before it's too late and
you'll hear from us alright let's get back to the video then I also textured this completely using a
redshift and here is the cool part you can either texture this completely on your own using a bunch
of techniques or you can use grayscale gorillas Hub and just use their material library to texture
your car and actually they have so many materials that I didn't have to touch anything or have some
small tweaks here and there so I searched their car paint materials I searched their Chrome their
metals and their rubbers the black Plastics all this kind of stuff that you would see in a car
Glass Tinted glass emission a red emission white emission for the lights in the front and then just
start texturing your entire car then I'm going to create a dome light and import my hdri here
into my scene after texturing one Bugatti you can start copying it over the entire location and it's
really as easy as that and just and changing out the materials making different looks one important
thing here that I've done is open up a bunch of Bugattis that are Street photographed just to get
an idea of how they look in real life anyway I use the redshift render engine here to render out my
cars and I thought they gave me a really nice and realistic result I also added a big plane that is
going to be my ground and added a redshift object tag and create a matte object in cast shadow shows
this is going to be our shadow catcher so it allows all the Shadows to be caught but not show
anything on the surface another really important thing is that I'm going to project my original
video onto this plane but you're not going to see this because of this matte that we just created
but we need to apply it anyway because it's still going to be caught up in the information of the
reflections so what I want to do is create a new material and add a camera mapping node here I'm
going to import my video make sure to go over to animation and detect all the frames and then
apply this into the diffuse color of your material then apply this material to your ground plane and
you will see that your video is now projected completely towards the camera also make sure to
drag in your camera though in the camera mapping as the camera otherwise it's not going to work by
the way we quickly want to thank Corsair they did not sponsor this video but from time to time we
receive products to support our work let me tell you we need some serious power to create visual
effects for you guys so luckily corsairs and over their rm750x80 plus gold modular power supply this
power supply is just what you expect from Corsair very nice build quality reliable and looks pretty
check out more with the link in the description below and let's continue with the video you can
even cast Reflections onto your ground again if you want to but for this type of shot it wasn't
really necessary because it wasn't overcast day and we didn't see any Reflections for any car on
the spot but let's say you would have a wet floor it's possible alright so I'm going to export this
to After Effects and do some final tweaking very important is usually it exports a very crisp image
of a car or a 3D render of a car and it's usually too sharp so I'm going to add in a fast box blur
here also add in some grain some distortions things like that and match the colors of your
shot so look around at the highest highlight of your shot and then look at the highest highlight
on on your cars and try to match those then look at the shadows in your shot and then look at the
shadows of your cars and in the info tab just try to match those numbers after that you're
left with a realistic car render and you look like you own a bunch of Bugattis that brings
us to this final result enjoy everyone always asks what color is your Bugatti well you tell me
thank you
