Post tutorials

[Dave Buckley]

any good tuts on adding things like grass in post, or should i say any good tutorials on any aspect of post production?

 

if any of you guys work in industry then please could you detail which aspects of your work are done in 3d and which aspects are done in post?

I worked in kids TV for 7yrs and we used Combustion for all simple post tasks. It integrates with max beautifully. If used correctly lighting and textures can be modified without need for a re-render. The 3d aspect of the package allows for realtime placement of effects like fire, smoke swaying grass etc. Not cheap but a fantastic PC package.

Sorry i meant which aspects of a final image are done in post??

 

For example from what i can see, most people do the actual buildings etc in the 3d application, then vegetation and people and skies/backdrops are added in post??

 

Am i right??

You're on the ball there. My workflow is to do as much work in post if its just a simple still. If you have to do multiple angles then you might have trouble doing alot in post.

 

Basically i insert people, vegetation, backdrops, lens effects, colour correction...etc. in post.

 

Good use of matte passes can save you alot of time in useless tweaking that you might do in your 3d package.

 

I suggest you check out the set of tutorials here

 

You have to sign up but there are some great tutorials there.
