Another sketch and a clip

[Eisner]

Continuing my sketching practice I made this image today and then couldn't wait to finish it so I camera mapped it as well. Check out the movie. It's nothing to great but fun.

Looks like you had fun. Could you show us a screenshot of the mesh onto which you projected your sketch???

[nisus]

wow, great! I must admit I prefer the motion in the uposite direction, because it's revealing the scene in a more interesting way... But why do the birds fly backwards? ;-p

At what size did you make the sketch? I'd like to see the mesh too! ,-)

It's a little weak, because I rushed to the finish but it was enough to map. I actually made the model first and use this first frame of the animation as a guide to paint with. Then I took the sketch back into 3D (Cinema4D).

Wow, at first I wasn't sure how well the sketch would work mapped onto geometry but it looks very nice! I'm still trying to grasp camera mapping in 3ds Max.

Nice job 8)

Eisner,

Thanks for posting a shot of the wireframe, it's always interesting to see how people have worked out solutions to problems. As for looking weak, I didn't think so. It did the job, impressive result!

Looks like there were some buildings in the valley at one point. Did you originally have a village in there?

Thanks for the comments. I did have a village in there but I didn't paint it in. I wanted to get straight to the camera mapping..to excited.

You should look at Janine Pauke's tutorial in the tutorial section, I used this, it's relativley easy. Try making a sketch then a rough model, then work back onto the model in photoshop that's what I did. It makes the mapping easier.

nice test, looks cool. :D

Annis, here's an example with your matte.

amazing job man :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

woooouuuu

explaint making , the tutorial, step by step from the beginning.

please.

i want create somthing like this in 3d studio max. but I don t know


cool work.

If I have time I'll make a tut up, but the best tut for Cinema users I know of is the one Janine Pauke did at 3dfluff.com. I was just trying to show the principles here.

I think most people get confused with what a camera mapped or projected texture means. It's just a different application than the usual modes of texture mapping.

Most 3D apps support it. So far I use Maya and Cinema, I'm afraid I don't know Max but there are some tuts out there for it.

thanks for your comments guys.

GERSITH,
here I tried to explain a bit how to do projo in max:

but I guess you already saw it ;)

Eisner,
Awesome job!
