To anyone who wants to tell me that the people are too small, I did that on purpose. 🤡 This is a very quick behind the scenes look at the process behind creating my last VFX heavy short. I am pretty much a beginner in Blender and After Effects. I try to learn as I go and dependant on what I need for the project I am currently working on. For 3D scanning I used the Polycam app on my iPhone, it makes it super easy to create realistic 3D models of real world objects. I’m obsessed. The plug-in i used to create a huge crowd is called Procedural Crowds, it’s very cool and makes it super easy. Honestly, everything I did is pretty basic and preliminary as far as the potential of Blender so if you want to learn Blender and After Effects workflows, just know that it doesn’t take as long as you make think #blendertutorial #vfx #vfxtutorial #Blender3d #videoedinting #progress #Blenderprogress

This is how I create 3D models out of real life objects. This technique has been around forever. It’s called Photogrammetry. My favourite app to use is called PhotoCatch on my desktop because it’s free, I think there is also a mobile version but I’ve never used it. For mobile, Polycam is cool too, but it’s paid after your first 5 renders. I use Blender for my 3D work. There’s tons of great tutorials on YouTube about Blender and Photogrammetry if you want to learn more. #blender3d #photogrammetry #3dscanning #3Dmodeling #polycam #photocatch #blenderrender #3Dart #vfx #3denvironment #3dmodel
