    nice tuturial, helped me a lot, and it was very funny to watch. but for those of you, who got the same problem that i had: when after tracking the object floats around somewhere in the scene, not really alligned to anything, just select three trackers, on the ground, go to orientation tab on the left and click on floor. That way, you will define where the base lies and you will have alignment to the ground of your scene

    Pretty nice! Personally I would want to pick a model that could be rendered more realistically and probably clean up the mask a lot (if you look close you can see the rough edges) to try something like this, but I'm glad how Blender is becoming more and more of an accessible program for more complicated VFX work like this.

    You mixed your laptop's mic array with the external mic and that caused the phasing in the final mix. The robotic voice effect is also due to this setup, it's just that the delay between your laptop's mic and the external mic is slightly bigger (~25ms will give you a 50hz robotic sound). So unless you have pre-mixing control over the internal mic and the external one and you're able to perfectly sync them, just use only one mic. Other than that, that cow looked so realistic. Good job.

I could just go into my blender assets folder and grab a car slap it in there... grab a character from my blender assets folder slap that in there ...and then I have a driving scene I just gotta animate a couple things... yeah true I totally pimped the default cube startup file...😀

    Great video. MSI gave their laptop to the right person to show some real CREATIVITY.
    I was trying to follow the video and do something on my own. But I have no cows, so that's it for me ;-)

    I got one of those 360 cameras to capture HDRi just like you show in this video. It really changes the game.
