Long time

Hey all!

This week's vlog!

GOD is beyond words!!! Just wow!!

- Re-Rendering a lot...of the same, haha

Like the last time I got to vlog, these weeks contained a lot of re-rendering. With the new 10-layer method, it means that some scenes have too many artifacts... I tried rendering some shots with it to get a much sharper result, but honestly, some shots are only going to be as good as they are with the methods I currently have at my disposal. A lot of re-rendering has occurred these weeks. On...

Week of the ReRender

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Thursday, February 22, 2018, In : WIP

Hey all!

This week's vlog!

GOD is so wonderful!!

- Re-Rendering a lot

Like I mentioned in the video, after seeing the issues with the upscaling (after noise reduction and even doing them together), I re-rendered the shot like GOD wanted in the first place. HE did give me leave to keep it as-is and just noise reduce and later upscale, but you really lose out on quality... It's like the smear between DVD and VHS - it's really obvious - not indetail, but in overall finish.

Which leads me to my...

- Rendering to video

After finishing the vlog, I wanted to create the thumbnail for the video and of course, every week I use something from that week to make it and I found nothing in the 2DHD folder when I looked in it in Gimp and when I double checked the rendering itself, guess what, it was rendering to video at only 6000kbps!!!!!!! I had missed switching it back from doing the OpenGL tests (which I render straight to video - no...

- Broken legs no more

Last week during recording, GOD gave me a solution to the frog problem - that I shared with you guys. This week, HE gave me another one as it relates to random frog rotation. With the first fix - the legs remain perfect, but they can only go in one direction. The fix in the week fixed the legs and they can go in any direction. Both fixes have their place. The first one allows you to have all your frogs go in the same direction....

Broken legs

Hey all!

This week's vlog!

GOD is beyond words!!! Just wow!!

- Broken legs?!

I am happy to say that I am not talking about my own legs here, haha. Whenever the frogs jumped in the floor footage, their IK's would lag behind and because of overall rotation, the legs would break and unbreak with every jump. This week I'm aiming to fix it, because just after the recording, GOD gave me the solution and I edited it in. So keep an eye out for that!

- Shot finally done and wow!

For the last few wee...

- Eevee toon shader update

I am happy to say that I didn't even touch these this week. I did however find a problem with the documentation page. It kept breaking and I didn't know why until GOD showed me something very interesting. I started looking at the formatting and the images and as I scrolled down the page, I saw that the one image was broken halfway down - the brownish anisotropic toon shader example. The moment I removed th...

A speech

Hey all!

This week's vlog!

GOD is so good!! Thank YOU!

- Eevee toon shader update

I am so thankful to be on this project! It does take up a lot of time, but in the end all that time will be more than made up with the much faster render time - not to mention the multiplied decades saved for other users as well!

This week I got to kick off with the release of v2 for the Eevee toon shaders. I'll be honest, I thought that it would end there and that my part would be done, but nope, hahaha. I go...

3D on YouTube

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Thursday, September 28, 2017, In : WIP

Hey all!
This week's vlog!

GOD is so cool!!!

- Posting 3D content from Blender on YouTube (Tutorial video)
Last week I mentioned that I would like to do a video on this very tricky and prickly topic and included a lot of technical info on it in the post itself:
http://bibleanimations.yolasite.com/blog/a-single-shot

I recommend that if you are someone interested in uploading Stereoscopic 3D (Side-By-Side), it is certainly worth checking out!

Note: For some reason it does not want to display 3D ...

Hey all!
This week's vlog!

GOD is beyond words!!! Just wow!!

- Posting 3D content from Blender on YouTube (requires a middle step)
This has been a very sore point of contention for me! Wow! I never knew that something so simple could frustrate me to such an extent! I believe the reason it frustrated me so has to do with the call on this project. When you're called to sing and you have to sit in a workshop fixing watches or be in a law firm, you will be so down and so irritated (or just plai...

Color grading and process

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Thursday, September 14, 2017, In : WIP

Hey all!
This week's vlog!

GOD is so great!

- Color Grading
I watched an amazing presentation on color grading a while back. An absolutely brilliant colorist spoke about using various equipment to color grade and how you can actually grade something with much much higher accuracy if you look first at the equipment and know what you're going for. It kinda works like a read-out that shows you where everything is at and how strong everything is and where there is room for improvement. You coul...

Defocus on the fringe

Hey all!

Today's vlog!

GOD is so wonderful!

- Question the medium: 3D
Simon from DSLR Guide said something a few weeks ago about the whole VR camera and medium, and it was: "Question the medium". What that means is that the medium has to add something to the story, or it's not useful in the first place.
Before watching that video, I felt that way, but didn't quite know how to define it until watching his video (GOD is so good - always provides the answers!). So my goal was to have 3D actually...

Hey all!

This week's vlog!!

GOD is so awesome!

- Moses, motion and a stick
Let's kick off this week with my fav part of the week - walking around with a stick! As silly as that sounds, it has been one of the most helpful practical things I have ever done for an animation. When GOD told me to do it, I didn't think much of it. In fact, I didn't expect what would happen. I found that I would lean on it, hang on it, point with it, play with it while standing around, spin it, throw things with it,...

Hey all!

Oh yes, that time of the week again! Update time! Without further ado, here is this week's vlog:

GOD is so amazing!!

Honestly, I thought that I was going to be updating about this project once a month, because the videos take so long to make and edit, and ironically, it takes about the same amount of time as blogging does, hahaha. The only difference is that I can show you all more video and tests than I could if I had to upload everything individually. Vlogging is very very versatile! ...

New videos announcement!

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Saturday, September 3, 2016, In : WIP

Hey all!

Now, I want to clarify the title before going any further. Two videos - a tutorial and a vlog.

- The Vlog:
As you all know, a vlog is simply a video blog, where you document something pertaining to the way you do life or whatever. For me, it will be a much easier way of communicating progress to you guys on upcoming videos, so they will appear here on this blog as well as on the YouTube channel, so if you want to be the first to get the vlogs, hit that subscribe button on YouTube! :D
You...
