wow , how i wish i can do this superb work!!! congrats sir mushroom to you and your team. galing nyo sir, astig. sobrang panalo ito!!! lakas nang rig nyo. maraming salamat for sharing your extraordinary project. mabuhay po kayo!!! (applause)...

astig, ganda ng pagkakagawa....tnx for sharing...

I love it...how i wish i can learn how to do those animations, and effects....

Thanks for sharing master mushroom..

Bat ngayon ko lang nakita ito...

Ganda pre, anggaling ng pagkagawa ninyo ng horizon. And the clouds too.

I wish meron syang Motion Blur.

keep it up sir!good job!

thanks guys.

@vertex - now that you mentioned it - i did forget to turn on the reelsmart motion blur

Yes, that's what we generally use too. Bu tbe careful sa quick cam moves - realsmart is kind off bopol when it comes to that. One tip kahit di ka nagtatanong, we normally separate layers and MBs in AF for foregrounds/backgrounds and elements that go past beyond the cams.

Kelan mo ako padadalhan ng trabaho? Dali! Nang makapunta na dyan!

lapit na po. anjan na sahog - lulutuin pa thanks for the tip btw - will try it in our next animation

Nicely done!

AMAZING!!! O_O

sir mushroom ganda ng clouds.. pano po yan? or i mean san na po gawa yun? AF na po bah? did some animation... pero ang ginawa ko is to create a dome and map it with a cloud diffuse nlng po... anyways.. all praises for your work. and a lot of things for me to learn. hope u can just share something.. tips or anything..

wow as in wow..ganda sir...

thanks sirs. yung clouds it's just a seamless sky map applied to a dome. diffuse map na me 100% self illumination (standard material).

there is a fake fog - this was done by rendering a separate pass (cylindrical mesh covering the horizon with a gradient ramp na opacity - basically all white diffuse) will post some samples soon. will take snapshots of the layers in after effects.

bow ako dito.. galing...

ok guys as promised - here're some quick tips on how the animation was composited.


base render - if you notice the horizon everything is still sharp and clear. normally at this distance the contrast should diminish.



fog layer - rendered pass applying a matte material to everything else except the fog mesh / material - normal blending mode, at 50% opacity



artificial vignette - done by applying a feathered, elliptical mask to a solid layer in AE - overlay blending mode



final comp - the rendered output

chromatic aberration - to simulate a crappy camera :p basically duplicate the comp 3x, apply "shift channels" effect to each with their corresponding channels turned on. (thanks to ryancoy for the tip)

green channel - as is



red channel - applied a fast blur and increased scale by 100.3% (blend mode: add)



blue channel - as is (blend mode: add)



final comp



there is an automator for this process similar to photoshop. i just chose to do it this way (manually) so i can have more control.

Mushroom, Great job with the camera movements! I really enjoyed it What kind of trees did you use?
