Sure did!

I’m considering doing a short course covering VFX workflow in blender yeah 👍 but it’ll take some time

@Graphicalninja thank you so much 😁

I duplicated the regular mesh and pushed it out so it enveloped all the venom growth stuff

@Graphicalninja I don't understand, how you convert into Cage and scale up that way so model is inside of the cage mesh

@UMARQURESHI it’s a duplicate of the mesh which is pushed outward (displace modifier or sculpt brush) and then you use that mesh in the mesh deform modifier

You’re right about the edges - the system doesn’t work well with those, and it also re-seeds itself if mesh is animated. What you should do is have an alternate static version of your mesh, you could even add a solidify and bevel to make the edges nice, grow the tendrils over that, and then mesh deform them to attach to the animated mesh.

@@Graphicalninja Hey thanks for the reply- I got everything you mentioned to work up until the mesh deform. When I bind the tendrils to the animated mesh, nothing changes.

What do you mean by reference cam? I used after effects for the camera tracks since I needed them fast 👌

It scans the whole thing yeah

I explain how to swap out models in this video, there’s a few steps because you have to copy some modifiers. Then it should work with any model yes!

@@Graphicalninja so doing more experimentation, it does seem no matter what model I slot into A, it works fine as long as the venom model thats in this tutorial is used. As soon as I try slotting a custom model into B (to replace venom), it becomes completely invisible and setting any growth will not make it appear. All the tendrils and other functions work, just not the morphing. I have a blend file I saved at where I left off, if it is something you’d want to take a look at to see if you can find out why a custom model won’t work in the B slot?

Hey there @Graphicalninja, just wanted to see if you had a chance to look into this or know why a custom model would do this. Thanks!

It’s a complicated system, make sure you follow all the steps and have the right version of blender. Make sure your character model has good topology as well. I just used the system in my new venom video and it still works with the latest version of blender.

@ ok thx

Thanks man, worked on it night and day lol!

That sounds like fun! I’ve always thought the force field effect from wandavision was cool, it had a cool magical/tech look with the moire and chroma stuff

@ id love to see ur take on those effects, plus theres no tutorials online to make custom wandavision like effects. Only blackscreen vids

You set the export to Blender and then the objects just appear in your open blender scene. But I heard rumors that bridge has turned into something else called ‘Fab’ and I haven’t used it yet.

Yes I plan to release an advanced VFX video on how to add CG into real footage, it might be a course because it is a lengthy topic. I did the POV effect in nuke using some of its built in filtering nodes

@@Graphicalninja I would definitely pay for a course.

@@Graphicalninja Brother, if you make a comprehensive VFX course on adding CG into real footage, and other things, mainly focusing on using Blender and Nuke, then I can guarantee you that I'm gonna buy it. Especially if it's made by someone with your skills. Maybe a course that focuses on a variety of cool ass shots like this video and others. Oh sweet jesus I'd buy a course like that multiple times just to give you more incentive to make it.

Thanks!

I used After Effects camera tracker, it did a pretty good job - I also shot it brighter than I needed and then cranked up the contrast later.

I did…and then tweaked it a little to be more creepy and fluid like 👍

Thanks! Worked day and night night on it 😂

​@Graphicalninja you are so good mate. I tried to download asura for you. But it got stuck at 54 percent. Btw have you ever thought of making courses?

I’ve got a few different venom tutorials about making the tendrils and venom morph, and I’m planning on making new advanced VFX training based on this project in the future 😎

Coming in a few weeks!

Thanks! I’ve worked at a small studio for 7 years, which is why I got to learn almost everything in the VFX pipeline.

I’ve technically worked for marvel 😎 I worked on Legion the TV show a few years back

I started with Cartesian caramel’s mimic tutorial and tweaked it a little

@@Graphicalninja Thank you!!

Thanks! I have a new blender VFX video coming out in a few weeks, working hard on finishing it!
