This was really helpful man. I like the simple yet in depth explanations. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! New stuff is coming next month, so stay stuned 😊
Dude! This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for for almost 3 years, I wanted to understand how to make set extensions because I'm a NOBUDGED aspiring filmmaker and this helps a lot! Wish you all success in the world pls keep posting ❤🙏🏼
Cool 😊 I‘m Really happy when this Helpful for you, because im an indie filmmaker myself and totally understand these troubles 😊 keep on doing stuff ✌️
same
this soo good!
wow, thanks, very cool tutorial!
You are welcome 😊
How do you only have 2.1k subs mate. This is AMAZING. thank you!
Thanks for your kind words 😊
Thanks so much for making these videos, Thies! It's a big help to me as a filmmaker.
Thanks for your kind words and all the best for your upcoming projects 😊
Thanks! 😊@@Thies_Gruenewald
thx, it worked :)
Neat workflow!
Thanks 🙋🏼♂️
Thanks! The blender and after effects workflow, is great. There isent much out there yet.
Thanks, but i still try to improve it! Maybe i will do another little scene in the near future 🤔
Seriously Amazing 😍😍
Thank you very much 🙂
Yo I thought you had to be a UA-cam titan with professional quality like that! What a good video!
Hey, thanks for your words 😊 maybe one Day the algorithm will find me 🤷♂️🤪
awesome thank you so much for this video🙏❤❤
You are Welcome 😊
Sick!
Great Video! :)
Dankeschön ✌️
seriously you are the goat
Haha I do not think so but thanks 😊
oh my god dude this is awesome.
Thank you 😊
😮 ohh thank you so much for this video 😊
Hope this will help you 😊
@@Thies_Gruenewald a lot no doubt 🧐☺️
Man this is awesome! Can you make a tutorial on how you got that colour grade?
I would no call this a real grade. But as a starting point: i normally overexpose the image about 1 stop and then (because i‘m using the bmpcc4k) apply a special conversion lut by robert hense (s21 it is called). Then adjust the scopes in lumetri and then for final touches add some grain with nitrate. All inside premiere in this case 🤷♂️
mind blowing
Thank you 😊
excellent work
Thank you 🙃
thanks
Thank you Sir😊
No Problem 😊
thank you
You are welcome 😊
A lot pf precious tips. Thanks man 😊
Hope it will help you! But remember that I totally missed out lens distortion! So eventough this is a solid 3d-Track, there is still some slippering 🤷♂️
@@Thies_Gruenewald I didn't know that plugin between AE and Blender. Looks like easy to use
@@giovannimontagnana6262 it is 😊
@@Thies_Gruenewald I just saw your channel and subscribed. Very cool stuff. Keep posting, you are going to grow fast :)
@@giovannimontagnana6262 thanks for your support 😊
😊 sehr nice
Really lovely work, My advice for you is to stabilize your shot AFTER the CG is done and well integrated into your shot that way you get a much better solve (that's because wrap stabilizer basically distorts the shot in order to stabilize it and therefore makes it harder to solve appropriately by the 3D tracker )
Thank you for sharing this piece of content mate your work is splendid :))
Thanks for your wise advice 😊 yeah, there is a lot of improvement needed. My biggest mistake is the lens distortion, so that the elements are sleepery, even with a perfect track. I will take care of your advice too, thanks once Again 🙋🏼♂️
@@Thies_Gruenewald you're welcome mate; yes you should've undistorted your shot before but I really didn't notice any major problem with that, I have no idea how you could do that in AE as I usually do my workflow around Nuke sorry :/ but the idea is to undistort track and do everything at the end of the chain you apply a REdistort to have that back good luck
It's not that hard actually. You would simply shoot a distortion grid, which you can find online and print out , with the lens you are planing to use. Bring the shot into the software you'll do your compositing and undistort the grid. In AE that could be done with the Optics compensation effect. Then copy the settings used to undistort the grid onto the shot you wanna use for your vfx and render it out. I would always recommend a .png sequence for tracking as some video codecs don't encode each and every frame the same way, which can throw your camera tracker off. In the last step of your compositing you can then reapply the distortion with inverted settings in the Optics compensation effect.
I would also suggest that you give the Blender camera tracker a try. When used properly it produces way better results than the AE tracker. You also don't get any weird scaling issues as can happen with AEBlend and imho it's in general better to stay inside one software when possible. Also you can completely skip the undistorting process often times as the Blender tracker is able to calculate the amount of distortion in your shot and gives you the option of rendering out your 3d animation with the distortion directly applied. @@madjidbouharis729
Dude, when I saw the Mask Prompter Plugin I was like HÄÄÄ WAS???? Thanks for the recommendation :D
Yeah its a neat little plugin for after Effects 😊
Impressive! Can you make a detailed tutorial about bringing aftereffects track into blender and adding cg objects to the scene?
Do you have any specific question? :)
What plugin do you use?@@Thies_Gruenewald
@@Pulixe do you mean „BlenderAE“ ? You can get it at aescripts. Check out my description below the Video 😊
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
sir please make a complete course on how to add cgi to live footage
I have an idea for an upcoming Video! There will be the missing information that you are seeking for! Until then use this series as a starting Point 😊
can i ask, how you set the render setting?
and how u deploy result of render blender to the video?
thanks
Because this was a „Day-shot“ the render settings were not that crazy. Cycles, Samples between 512-1024, noise threshold at 0,01 and motion blur enabled ;)
Normally i would render out different Passes (Beauty, shadow, Mist, AO), but because I was playing around with the z-depth pass in davinci, i ended up render out only the beauty pass 😉
May I ask that after you animate the drone in blender, did you render it out as png seq and import in AE for final compositing or you did something else? Thanks
Yep correct! I rendered out the drone with the shadow Catcher (PNG, RGBA, 16Bit, uncompressed) and Composite all the different passes in AE. Maybe Not the cleanest workflow, but it works 👍
Thank u bro u the best. Do i need a beast pc to run this?
🫡😊 no Not Really! I think with 16 gb of ram, maybe a solid graphic Card (gtx 1080 and higher) and an i7 or i9 processor (im a Windows guy ) this is no problem
It will be better to export your PNG sequence at 50% in blender to read your scenes easily
Ex: 4k in 2k or less
Thats True! Thanks for your advice 😊
@@Thies_Gruenewald thank you for your sharing 🙏
Lot's love From 🇮🇳❤

Can't find the short film on your channel
Its this one:

i need a drone !
No! Better a good friend with the same passion for film 😉
I subd
Thank you so much for your support 🙂
halo sir, your video very healpful, can you make totorial making 2D TO be 3D and than making the 3D move, becous i want put my toy as a caracter in the my video . thank you sir
Puh thats a complicated one! Maybe you can try grease pencil for that 🤔 as a starting Point for example take some mocap data from mixamo and paint over your character to match the movement. Kind of like a rotoscoping technique 🤷♂️😊 or try one of the many ai tools making 2d images into 3d 😉
@@Thies_Gruenewald thnak you sir for your reply, i am very aprisite, i had try making 2d to be 3d with ai and that work
But why it looks so unreal? The composited objects are so highlighted. how can I composite the objects using render passes??
Check out www.youtube.com/@CGStirk for more in-depth stuff. :)
how u set mask at 6:33
Press F4 to toggle the Switches and than there should / will be the drop down menue! And than play around with the different mask (Alpha matte, luma matte or inverted) until you get the result that you are After 😊
thanks@@Thies_Gruenewald
u have earn my respect for fast reply@@Thies_Gruenewald
@@Virtual_edits its sunday, so I have time ✌️
4:01 what software?
Substance painter ✌️
@@Thies_Gruenewald
Thanks bro!!! 🤜
Paid plugin for Mask Depth in after effect ;) free on the Davinci side
True, but only for the paid Version of davinci 🤪
@@Thies_Gruenewald back at you I was wondering what you did not use the mist pass in blender instead ? I am asking just trying to learn the composition side ;) slowly ;)
@@samduss4193 i was using davinci because of the the z-depth data of the original video footage. But maybe (based on the tracking data and the scene in blender), it is possible to only use a mist pass 🤔 give it a try and please keep me updated. But you will need a dummy 3d-person-kind element (with a similar movement of the real actor) as a cut out so that the mist pass can be Composited correctly i guess. Oh and for the trees as well 🤷♂️
@@Thies_Gruenewald thank you for answer, did mist and actually got the data but it wont get data from the main footage so.. I understand now.
I wonder today I like work flow of after effet and blender i just discover that :)
the thing is about color grading i watch a tutorial about Davinci I really feel like it makes all magic :)
actually I wonder the work flow, track aftereffect -> blender CGI -> Motion graphics after effect -> colorize Davinci -> premiere ???
what would you do as ideal work flow for project ? ( hahha sorry to bother, have a hard time to get info ).... .. thanks thanks
@@samduss4193 no problem , im still searching for the ideal workflow myself ;) your workflow sounds good, but no need for premiere, because you can edit and sounddesign your stuff in davinci 🤷♂️ good luck for your production 👍
Not air pro 2. Its mavic 2 pro.
Haha mea culpa 😅
nice workflow, but you should improve your grading skill, I mean your composite still fake :(
Thanks, i‘ll put it onto My List 🫣
Blender + UE + houdini = 🔥 🔥
At the Moment it is more like Blender-ue and embergen 😉
Please make more advanced VFX Tutorials bro
I will! Thanks for your Support 😉
