How can I help you?

Vielen Dank fuers "Hallo" sagen und herzlich willkommen :)

Thank you very much! More content is in progress :)

Thank you so much!!! I will not stop :) It has been tough to find time to produce content recently plus I always want to make sure that everything I put out there is something meaningful - but I'll definitely continue :) Thanks again for your kind words!

@@SplitTheDiffGreat to hear, I can’t explain how valuable you and your videos are. 👌🏻👌🏻

That means a lot to me! Thank you so much@@FreyNekki !

Welcome aboard :) I really appreciate your feedback!

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your feedback. Regarding the matrix node. If you haven't watched it yet, you should check out my "Unleash The Node" episode about the Blur node. I'm explaining the concept of convolution with the help of a matrix. Maybe this will help you to better understand what happens under the hood. The values I'm using here are based on a Scharr operation (to detect edges based on gradients / derivatives). I understand that those a very complex topics, but you'll just need to invest some time to try to understand the process step by step (starting with researching about convolution). I used the shuffle nodes below to store the output of the horizontal edge detection in my red channel and the vertical edge detection in my green channel - creating some type of STmap (please do some research on STmaps too if that topic is unclear). My plan is to produce some more content about the matrix node (and matrices in general) in the future. So stay tuned :)

@@SplitTheDiff thanks! Will surely check all your videos out to understand it better 💯

Thank you very much for your feedback :) More expression content is definitely planned. Please stay tuned :)

@@SplitTheDiff I definitely will stay tuned with notifications on

@@SplitTheDiff I’ve got a folder on my computer for your tutorials cause they’re very helpful. Thank you once again.

Thank you so much :)

Hi! Thank you very much for your comment and apologies for the late reply. If you use the Bokeh - formerly PG Bokeh - node (now integrated in Nuke), you can simply set the "Bokeh Channels" dropdown knob to "all" and it should apply the effect to all included layers. I hope that helps.

Apologies for the late reply. Absolutely! In general, the intention for my tutorials is to (over)stimulate the brain a little bit with techniques and core knowledge that can then be used for something completely different. I know that someone used this approach already to create a Moiré effect for example. But I agree - Your suggestion is definitely the preferred method if it's about regraining. Thank you very much for your input :)

Thank you very much for reaching out :) The Grade node is treating the alpha channel only to shift the semi transparent into solid areas, so they can properly get dilated. Both those nodes are expression linked to the Group node I built, so the example with the setup broken down into individual nodes exactly resembles the result we get using the Group node. I'm traveling at the moment (for quite some time), but I will set a reminder to upload a script on my website that you can take a closer look at. Please bug me again in case I forget :)

@@SplitTheDiff Safe Travels -- these videos are great for patching up all the holes in my compositing knowledge!

Thanks for sharing :)

Thank you very much for your feedback :) I'm glad this turned out so fruitful :)

Hallo :) Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoy the content :) I started working as an intern in a small German VFX company in 2008 (while studying) - mostly working with Fusion. I got my first real jobs in 2010 in Germany and Ireland (finally working with Nuke), before moving around (London, Vancouver, Stuttgart, Munich, Vienna) and trying out different studios (DNEG, ILM, MPC, Trixter, Rise, Mackevision, Scanline, Digital Domain, Image Engine, ...) to figure out what 1.) I would like my career path to look like and 2.) which studio (size, vibe, country, ...) fits me and vice versa. For the last 7 years I've lived in Vancouver and have worked at Image Engine for the past 2 years (great, great company!!!). What about you?

Thank you :)

Thank you very much for your feedback :) One option could be to shuffle your Arnold Z channel into the depth.z channel (Shuffle Node). The other option is to change the expression so it properly points to the channel name Arnold stores the depth pass in. As an example: Let's say you have a layer that is called "normals", then you can use Bnormals.red to access the red channel of that layer. If your depth channel is stored in a layer called Z, you should be able to access it with BZ.red (or .green or .blue - depending on if the information is stored in all 3 channels or just 1).

@@SplitTheDiff Thank you for your help!! It works now! :D

@@mariio.sanchezz Great to hear :)

Thank you very much for your feedback Danilo :)

Hey Lucas, Thank you very much for your feedback! That's what I love about compositing. We can always have a mix of both approaches - technical as well as artistic setups. These days I feel like most of the major productions obviously want to go with a photorealistic look for their visual effects - at least at first. And then rules get bend and broken - which can be great. That's why I usually trust technical setups for solid first versions - so we can say that we did everything to match the photorealistic plate / look. At least we know the base is correct. And then we can go from there. The book I'm recommending in my video here is definitely an awesome resource - together with books I'm listing in the description. The next step would be indeed to dive a bit into math and physics. Since compositing is math anyways you will be surprised how many of the concepts we can actually easily bring into our work.

Thank you for coming by :)

Thank you so much :)

Thank you very much :) That is actually a very interesting suggestion. I'll keep it in mind :)

Hey :) Thank you very much for getting in touch and thanks for the reminder :) I was very busy over the last year and figured it was already too late to catch up with that project breakdown. I appreciate the interest though and I guess it could be a good idea to talk about this shot as my next video - and by that not necessarily going through the script node by node, but rather by talking about certain approaches and important techniques to push things into a photorealistic direction. Please stay tuned :)

@@SplitTheDiff Thanks man. Just a short breakdown will be very helpful! I can understand how busy you are. I am very thankful for those unleash the nodes videos. I pray and hope that you will stay healthy and motivated and keep these videos coming.

@@BigG4642 Thank you so much! Please stay healthy too.

My pleasure :) Thank you so much for the kind words!!!

That is very kind of you :) Thank you so much!

Danke meen Junge :)

Thank you :)

Awesome, Thanks :) I hope you will enjoy it (book AND video) :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching :)

Thanks Jakob :) Yes, definitely try to understand the full picture. It will enable some great new approaches.

Thank you so much. I agree - there is not enough of that out there currently.

Hahaha - unfortunately that's a limited edition for now (only 1 exists 🤣). But something to think about... 😜

Thank you very much David! I'm glad you like it :)

Great to have you back in the audience too :)

Happy New Year :) I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Dankeschön :)

Thank you very much :) I really appreciate that. I'm happy that it already triggered some ideas in your brain :)

@@SplitTheDiff had a new thought around use case. This approach could be used for creating a more photo realistic atmospheric falloff in general.

Very good. That was my intention haha :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it :) Read the book - it's great :)

I appreciate that a lot :) Thank you!

My pleasure :)

Do you mean the Gizmo that I built for this video or one of the nodes I'm showcasing towards the end? If you mean the Gizmo that I'm using to explain the technique I'm planning to upload it on my website splitthediff.com - I'm just a bit behind with publishing the blog post for this video but will most likely do it around the Christmas Holidays. So please check back around that time :)

Thank you for getting in touch. What jobs are you looking for? Comp? What is your current level and location? Please also feel free to either share your showreel here or via email: youtube@sebastianschutt.com and maybe I can help you with some feedback on that.

Thank you very much :) I really appreciate the feedback!

Thank you very much :)

Thank YOU :)

Thank you very much for your feedback 😊
