Pick a Grenade any Grenade!

Posted by on Jan 8, 2012 in Blog | 8 comments



As I was working on this new tutorial that involves a flying Grenade, I realized that I could create the entire tutorial without the use of any 3D software like Cinema 4D or 3D max. So that’s exactly what I did! Now if you looking to create some live action elements for compositing, the key is to try and match the lighting of your original shot. If you watch our recent video Shell Shocked, the sun is coming from the top left side of the frame, so I tried to match the look on the green-screen. This same principal applies in 3D animation if you want to composite that futuristic grenade too and I’ll be sure to include some tips for those interested in the 3D workflow! No matter which way you use, do your best to match the lighting and you can use After Effects to blend right in.  Stay tuned for the action packed tutorial!

    If apples weren’t green I’d use them instead of handgranates. The closest of a fruit I can think of coming close to a granate would be a kiwi or a pineapple without the topgreen. I know I’m kinda fruity sometimes.

    why all professional Vfx Artists using Maya and nuke and no body using 3ds max and after effects? is after effects really unable to do some visual effects that nuke can do..??
