  • Using physics simulation to animate a realistic FPV camera in Blender! | AD: Right now, the first 500 people to use my link will get a one-month free trial of Skillshare: skl.sh/polyfjord11231
    In this video we'll be using Blender's Rigid Body tools to drive a physics simulation that animates a realistic FPV drone camera in Blender! This tutorial covers the entire process from start to finish, with an extra in-depth segment about how Blender's compositor can be used to add a vintage digital camera look to our render.

    You can also add positive force field to the trees so your drone auto avoids crashing into them

  • @Shattered3582
    @Shattered3582 4 місяці тому

    what i love about this method is how flexible it is. i will try out the example first, but i can really see myself using this for other camera shots as well. i am a blender noob and i love how your videos are a more trial and error style tutorial, which gives some trouble shooting practice.

    As an FPV racer, it is so awesome to see stuff like this! Love it
    What would be the cherry on top is to add the digital OSD screen that is used by almost all FPV drones, called the betaflight OSD to the final file - this would make it practically indistinguishable to an uninformed viewer haha

    The only thing missing is some roll movement because the drone is always horizontally flat.

  • @dts_user1389
    @dts_user1389 3 місяці тому

    I think you've watched very little FPV from looking at this motion. Usually, the drone tilts in to the direction of the yaw. That way, it can use the propellors a lot more efficiently and turn faster.
    A drone that's sitting horizontal can only yaw slowly as it works by differential speeds of the counterrotating propellers. The actual thrust is wasted. At an angle, a difference in thrust can actually be used. 👍
    Edit: Criticism aside, I do appreciate all your expertise and sharing these awesome tutorials with the community. Cheers!

  • @hobby2547
    @hobby2547 6 місяців тому

    Amazing technique. I tried it, and it looks fantastic. I also experimented with adding some tilt to the curve. Together with a copy rotation constraint on the camera and a locked Y-axis, it makes the effect even more convincing due to the added shakiness of the camera. I always wanted to fly an FPV drone, and now I can somewhat.

    • @Polyfjord
      @Polyfjord  6 місяців тому +1

      Nice!!! Yes the Y-axis motion really helps for this effect!! I had to leave it out to simplify the tutorial a bit, but I’m glad to hear you’re experimenting!
