Tracking Exercise 01
For this tracking I used the 2d match move tracker. Later I realised that it would be nice to roto the checker board, since the original sign has rounded borders. Also, I realised my node graph was messed up, and organised it, respecting the B line that always goes down.
Match Color 02/03
My attempt here was to apply the last roto I did in two different videos I’ve got from an open source website. Match Color 02 Reviewing this match color exercise, I realised that the blacks were a little too blue in comparison with the black in the light sign to the right. So I fixed… Continue reading Match Color 02/03
Roto02 and Match Color 01
During this week I worked on a second rotoscoping project using another part of the same footage I used for my first roto project. After the roto was done, I applied the girl in two different still images and matched the colors.

Roto 01

Research Task
Making hair and fur in CGII caught myself thinking of using a jaguar texture on a model I was testing once, and I realized I didn’t know how to do it. Even though I could use a bump and displacement map, in some way it wouldn’t look so natural because it wouldn’t have actual fur… Continue reading Research Task
