You're welcome!

[@jkillusionis]

Super bro

[@xandercrew6088]

Hey man great tutorial loved the simplicity of your video -- can you explain or show how to add clothing to your model or change details of your model? Let’s say I wanted to add a shirt and pants to the skeleton, how could I do that?

[@freehandboy]

Amazing tutorial amazing ❤

[@VFXStudioKoliba]

Thanks, glad you like it!

[@milind6455]

@@VFXStudioKoliba Question: What if I wanted to say....put a disney character, like say....Jack Skellington, and make him dance on a theater stage? How would I do that? What software would I use?

[@bg-xm3ms]

Niceee! yeah blender is a bit complicated. Would need to load it up and play with it.

[@BhondvaThem]

Thanks dear lovely sir❤❤❤

[@kushalkushal-sm7xd]

In tripod only .we can add 3d objects wothout motion tracking?

[@freebreaker3750]

how I render object and shadow separately ?on blender
could you please make more tutorial video about this type of video
you're legend boss

[@VFXStudioKoliba]

I explained it in this tutorial (at 5:33): ua-cam.com/video/qyRLBFrTmHI/v-deo.html
The second option is to use exr files with individual render passes, but working with them isn't as intuitive when you're just starting out.

[@EniFamily898]

halo how to make foto 2d to be 3d after that make 3d carakter move ? please help

[@Wisepathtech]

Pls do you have a course?

[@Filip.L]

Bratislavaa 😀😀

[@Dksupa94]

when I render my background isn't rendering just the object?

[@BrianHuether]

Hi, great video! What would your workflow be if the footage had moving camera?

[@VFXStudioKoliba]

I would first 3d track the camera and align the scene but the rest of the steps are basically the same.

[@BrianHuether]

@@VFXStudioKoliba Hi, I am including distortion in my camera solve, also the footage has motion blur. Do you know if unreal engine - based on imported camera - can automatically apply motion blur to the animation? Thanks!

[@VFXStudioKoliba]

I haven't been playing around with Unreal Engine that much but motion blur is added while rendering so if you set it up correctly (use the same shutter speed/shutter angle as the camera footage), then it shouldn't be a problem.

[@BrianHuether]

@@VFXStudioKoliba Ok, thanks, makes sense!

[@aquaworldsystemsjulio]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ricardoelias32]

Thank you, but don't you need to use camera tracking?

[@VFXStudioKoliba]

This was a static shot, so there was no need. I just added digital camera movement in post. But I also have tutorials with camera tracking.

[@ricardoelias32]

@@VFXStudioKoliba Thank you, I understand, could you give me the link to the tutorial with camera tracking?

[@VFXStudioKoliba]

Sure, you can find it in my previous blender tutorials. Here's one: ua-cam.com/video/spUhvxHhpQk/v-deo.htmlsi=ad9pvnIKJB0-svDL

[@eddy_creative]

Bro, so fucking useful! :))))

[@anuraagchandra2548]

I have a doubt. Can we use Blender's in-built compositor in the place of After Effects?

[@VFXStudioKoliba]

Yeah sure, for a simple scene like this Blender compositor should work just fine.

[@anuraagchandra2548]

@@VFXStudioKoliba Can you please make a tutorial on the same sir? Thanks in advance.

[@Foxtube5764]

Thanks but is there a way to do this on phone too??

[@EfternaGaming01]

No 😂

Ok then lol@@EfternaGaming01

[@tbs7543]

i can't upload character 3d:(((

[@anuraagchandra2548]

Is there a free alternative to After Effects that can do this?

[@VFXStudioKoliba]

Fusion in DaVinci Resolve, or Blender compositor is also an option.

[@anuraagchandra2548]

@@VFXStudioKoliba Can you please make a video on how to add the skeleton to the scene but using Blender's compositor? Thanks in advance.
