VFX Generalist Reel (2021) 

Thanks man! :)

Lol would you like a tutorial on his career?

バカすぎw

I usually either render it together with the rest, that of course locks it in. Or if I want to be flexible in comp, I either render it separately with the same light sources and holdout geometry, or with black shaded geometry. Both allows me then to either merge it with the main render or to use it as a mask to drive a grade node. A combination of lift and slightly reducing the gain usually gives realistic results

Blender, Nuke and Substance painter mainly. Character Animation in Maya

perfect thanks brother

Thanks! I studied at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Switzerland

@@lukasbieri Thanks for the reply! :)

Thanks! I do most 3d tracking in Nuke

Thanks! It‘s a combination of multiple applications. Mainly Blender for 3D work, Substance Painter for texturing and Nuke for Compositing. You can find good tutorials on RU-vid, if you want to learn how to do this. It is now easier than ever :)

Thank you! For me, compositing is probably the most important basic skill. It kind of acts like glue, it connects everything and sometimes smoothes over some rough edges. And it is a very powerful skill even by itself. If you want to become a VFX artist, learning Compositing to a certain degree will be an important base for the whole process. It will train your eye, give you an understanding for the whole pipeline and allow you to create a lot of cool stuff pretty early on. So I recommend to learn AfterEffects and maybe dabble in some basic Blender tutorials on the side. After a while, you can make the switch from AfterEffects to Nuke (different way of comping, but the skills translate pretty well). Blender is a tool that will give you an understanding of generalist 3D skills. It will either become your main 3D software, a part of your workflow or give you an introduction to a single, more specific 3D skill that usually requires you to learn a more specialized software down the line. I hope that helps, all the best on your journey!

Thanks Lukas.. i have been using Davinci Resolve Studio for editing but never used for Compositing..

Thanks! For 3D work, I mainly use Blender and Substance Painter

It‘s Nuke and Blender mainly :)

@@lukasbieri thank you👍

Thanks! I usually use Nuke for projection mapping, as we already have the licenses necessary. But I did it in Blender a few times, it is a little bit more work to set up, but works pretty well in my opinion. Especially if you want to project onto multiple objects from one camera source, it is pretty nice to be able to adjust the geometry on the fly. If you haven‘t already, I recommend to look into the UV Project Modifier. Hope that helps!

@@lukasbieri That absolutely helps. Thank you so much! I've never heard of that modifier until not but it looks like just the thing I need so I'll definitely be trying it out. I've subscribed to you channel and look forward to more awesome FX work. Best of luck!

Thanks! I certainly went all out with dust and sand, that was part of the required look for the project :)

Oh that makes sense, was it for a film or just to show what you can do? But regardless you did a really good job with it. Is it all 3d scans?

Thanks! No, it is a scan I bought from Turbosquid. I‘d have loved to scan something myself, but time didn‘t allow for that

looks great either way@@lukasbieri

Yes, this is Lucerne in Switzerland

Blender, Nuke, Substance painter. Maya for the Character Animation

Depends on how you count. I used AfterEffects for years before, but most of the skills featured in the reel I leaned in a span of two to three years

@@lukasbieri Unreal? Nuke? C4D? All? I'm so intrigued these shots looks ridiculously fantastic!

@@jakecolefilms Thanks! It‘s Blender and Nuke mostly, some texturing in Substance painter and Maya for the character animation
