If you've never touched Blender or VFX then this tutorial is for you. We will explore a super beginner VFX workflow that will get you making amazing visual effects right from day 1 all for free. I've compiled together all of my vfx knowledge to walk you through a simple yet realistic vfx shot that anyone would think was real. VFX really is that simple if you know what you're doing and I'm hear to encourage you to start your journey off right. I see far too many beginner tutorials that go over the complete basics and fail to deliver a good result in the end. In my opinion, I learn best when applying knowledge and I'm more encouraged to learn more once I know I can achieve things I once thought impossible. My hope is that you surprise yourself with the quality you can make and will push you to continue to make amazing artwork in the future.

Such a nice tutorial, I started VFX session with your tutorial with the same subject you posted 3 month ago and I am repeating the basic things with this tutorial to make sure I do remember what I learned ! I want to make really shorts footage (under 10 sec) with Minecraft characters in that. Could you recommend any tutorial that I can learn about that ? I saw couple of add-on tutorial on RU-vid but still am not sure which add on I have to use. Thank you for your high quality tutorial. I really learned so many basic things through your vids. Thanks.

Hi, thank you very much for the perfect and clear content. I have followed the steps you provided, and the final result is similar. However, my object (a horse) is wobbling a bit. Could this be due to tracking issues? My tracking result is 0.27px. Should I consider using other software, like SynthEyes, to avoid the wobble that I don't want? The challenges I've encountered have left me feeling a bit frustrated, prompting me to reach out to you. Thank you once again. Additionally, I wonder why people don't use vertical videos instead of horizontal ones. Does the process remain the same for vertical videos, or are there differences? Can you shed some light on this?

@not227 7 месяцев назад

Hey, Do you have any idea how would go about water? Water is a very common shot. Say we wanted to composite a creature beneath the surface of live action water, the camera would still being above water. Seeing something underneath. OR how about a creature emerging from water? would be interested to see how Jacob would tackle that.

@Jacob_Zirkle 7 месяцев назад

If there’s something under the water, most of the times you can get away with using the color information of the footage to distort the CG under the water and using grading and depth passes we can make it realistic. If it’s on top of or interacting with the water, then there are many ways to go about it. From simulations to fancy distortion techniques, we can composite the CG with the water but it’s really a case by case. Water is one of the most challenging things to get right so that’s why you don’t see a lot of it unless it’s a higher budget production.

@yousuck5314 7 месяцев назад

Awesome! Is it possible to track a 360 camera movement? If so can you make a tutorial about it? I tried to track a 180 movement and the results weren't good. Thanks in advance!

@Jacob_Zirkle 7 месяцев назад

Yeah the only difference is you would have to continuously detect new markers throughout the footage and the other go off screen. So instead of just a few sets of markers there would be many more.

@ferrisatu1 7 месяцев назад

I watched your video before this one, what's the difference between the camera tracking method and using fspy + geotracking method ?

@Jacob_Zirkle 7 месяцев назад

Camera tracking is more widely used and accurate for most case scenarios. The fspy geotracker method was specific to that use case because I didn’t need ground interaction and it was a smooth movement. Hopefully that makes sense and always default to camera tracking.

@ahmad1080p 7 месяцев назад

agx unfortunately applies to the background images and alphas in the compositor, i tried convert colorspace node but i get wired colors, is there a method to exclude agx effect on other clips without exporting or using extremal apps ?

@Jacob_Zirkle 7 месяцев назад

Unfortunately with the way blender is set up, you have to render AGX passes first and then composite in standard. The same can be said about any compositing software though. Most of the times you are rendering from a 3d program into a compositing program so there are always conversions and colorspace issues you have to solve. It’s just part of the process and just think that you basically just want to have 2 projects if you want to stay in blender. One for the CGI and rendering and then the other for the final compositing. Hopefully that helps

@emrecanyarici1920 5 месяцев назад

Hello Jacob, your tutorial is very nice, but unfortunately I had a problem, 2 more people asked in the comments, but even though I did what you said, the problem was not solved. When I deleted the tracks as at 18:05, the slove error value went up to 180. Do you have any information on how I can solve this?

@swetlanastoyanowa9930 Месяц назад

I think its a bug or something ,try changing the tracking model or just tweak some settings or delete/add new takers. just change something /then you can return to your original settings/. That is of course your fcurves of the trackers seems to be fine without any peaks

@charithevfx 6 месяцев назад

bro how can i track camera when the footage has sky scene. my sky tracking always fails because sky doesnt have enough features to track. so please make a tutorial for it

@Jacob_Zirkle 6 месяцев назад

Unless there are a lot of details or things on the ground to use as reference, it’s really tough to track just a blank sky. When filming it’s always important to know that you’re going to camera track so you can film the shot with a lot of tracking features in mind. Hopefully this helps

@bobbystarks 7 месяцев назад

Why do all that in compositing when you can just render out exr files and tell it to render separate passes.

@Jacob_Zirkle 7 месяцев назад

Because for normal multipass exr files the shadow pass won’t include the shadow behind the object only the stuff visible from the camera. This way we have the entire shadow so we can use it for compositing. For the CG you could get away with it but for a simple scene like this, I didn’t think we’d need all of those different passes to keep it simple.

@bobbystarks 7 месяцев назад

@@Jacob_Zirkle Thanks for writing back. That makes sence. I guess I just use all the passes when I bring in into Ae.

@josipasimic3245 6 месяцев назад

Hii Jacob , Im having a small issue with the solve error - the first time I do it it turns out great under 0.3 but then once I clean tracks and resolve the camera motion it goes crazy to 80px ... do you know why would that be happening, cause I dont think Im doing anything different from the tutorial :/ thank you!

@Jacob_Zirkle 6 месяцев назад

That happens sometimes in blender and it’s because blender isn’t that fantastic at camera tracking. Try cleaning it up a few more times and it usually shoots back down. If that doesn’t work, it might be due to you deleting too many markers that the average goes back up because there’s not enough information. Hopefully this helps and keep on trying!

@Tudemir3 7 месяцев назад

One question: What is the purpose of converting a video into frames when the compression you obtain from those individual frames have the issues of intra compression conversion (macroblockins, ...)? Not ironic. Serious question. Thank You

@Jacob_Zirkle 7 месяцев назад

PNG is lossless and we do it because not every program treats video codecs the same so there are more issues when using the same footage between different programs. Nuke for example is written for sequences in mind and is much more friendly when it comes to VFX. Also it’s nice to not be tied down to a specific frame rate which you would have to make sure is correctly set in each program if you were using a video sequence.

Does camera tracking not work for some videos? I recorded a video woth my phone, and its portrait 9:16 ratio, and the video has a day time, road with moving cars and a building, But I am unable to achieve a good motion track, I have watched a ton of your videos too and doing everything and have tried multiple times, I am able tk get a good solve error(0.2-0.3-0.5) but the actual tracking doesnt work, like if I add an object,

@Jacob_Zirkle 7 месяцев назад

Portrait videos are a little weird in blender. I believe someone had said before that you have to go into the side menu by pressing N and then make the camera sensor vertical for it to work. Unfortunately I haven’t messed around with it so I can’t tell you exactly what to do but hopefully that helps

@gamepoint619xd6 6 месяцев назад

@bilalmoten8855 7 месяцев назад

At 18:15, did your solve error increase for once after deleting some points and solving again?? I dont know how that is possible but its happening with me like a few time, and if I just cleanup some more points and re solve, the error goes down, is it a bug or something??

@Jacob_Zirkle 7 месяцев назад

Yeah Blender camera tracking isn’t the best when it comes to solve errors. That’s why I do my own camera tracking for non-tutorials in SynthEyes. The reason it jumped for me was because I had deleted too many markers and so it shot up. You can either try to resolve it a couple more times and I find it’ll eventually go back down after cleaning it again or just undo you deletion and try selecting less. Very finicky and the main reason I don’t use it any more.

"some data failed to reconstruct" What could be the problem?

@Jacob_Zirkle 7 месяцев назад

Unless your blue line at the bottom of the tracking window shows any red, you should be fine. Sometimes that could just mean that some of the refinements couldn’t be calculated or anything like that. The most important thing is that you get a solve error that’s low enough and consistent through the duration of the footage. Hope that helps!
