How to create Oceans with Maya and Boss
How to create Oceans and large bodies of water with Maya and Boss.
I'm trying out a different format with this tutorial so it's a little more scripted. This will be a a quickfire look at creating quick and easy setups for large bodies of water using Maya's Bifrost Ocean Simulation System (BOSS).
For a more in depth look, the Maya learning channel has a four part series covering all the different tools available with BOSS:
ua-cam.com/video/RkkoHzI8644/v-deo.html
Worth checking out for things like boat wakes and foam, which I do not cover. This tutorial will be focussed on creating the caches as quickly as possible and getting them shaded in your scene.

Centurions 3D breakdown
Переглядів 6 тис.3 роки тому
Big thanks for all the support on the previous video - I wanted to do a longer breakdown video this time - one of the aims of the channel is sharing knowledge so in this video I'll give a sort of birds eye view of processes I use to create 3D models, animate them and add effects. Not so much a tutorial as more of a process video, though I think some of the techniques definitely warrant a couple...

Top 5 Reactor Plugins for Blackmagic Fusion
Переглядів 34 тис.3 роки тому
In this video I'll go over my top 5 Reactor plugins for Blackmagic Fusion; by no means an exhaustive list and these are simply the ones I find myself using a lot - there are in fact dozens of incredibly useful tools, but that would take a longer video! The focus of this video will be on using the aforementioned tools for CG renders and compositing. Here is where you can download Reactor: www.st...

Cloud Tank II
Переглядів 1,7 тис.3 роки тому
Cloud Tank II is a collection of experiments I started four years ago. Initially this began as a foray into the world of SFX, beginning with a fascination with the Trumbull Cloud Tank effect; a tank filled with water in two layers - a salt water lower layer and a fresh water top layer. When you spray inks, paints and dyes into this they bounce off the salt water layer and produce stunning cloud...
Carnewas and The Bedruthan Steps Cornwall (BMPCC 4K)
Переглядів 6093 роки тому
This is probably one of the most beautiful places in the UK. In the throes of windy autumnal weather my brother and I spent a few days photographing the stunning rock formations in the surf around the bays. The gusts were too powerful to fly a drone in initially but I had some luck towards the end of the trip; the mini wasn't that happy but it flew. The steps themselves have been damaged by roc...
How to Edit Photos in Davinci Resolve / Blackmagic Fusion
Переглядів 1,2 тис.3 роки тому
I've long since abandoned editing photos with Photoshop/Lightroom, they're great tools but I don't generally use them in my workflow. On the other hand, I have licenses for both Resolve and Fusion and use them almost everyday. With this in mind, this is how I generally approach editing photos these days, a quick and easy workflow with a lot of flexibility. If you have something like Filmconvert...
