Awesome Video: "Deserted" - 3D Camera Mapping Still Images


The video "Deserted" follows this commentary on the techniques it employs. 

---------------------------

Hello,

I'm completely inspired recently by my rediscovery of Blender 3D.  http://www.blender.org/

In the years since I first used it...both the software and the innovation in the 3D field have been exploding...and what you can accomplish with this FREE program is astounding.

Today I watched a video tutorial by Andrew Price of Blender Guru, showing how to take a photograph...a still image...and by using camera mapping in Blender you can make it appear as though it is video footage with a camera moving through and around it.

If you're familiar with this technique then you already know the power that it can give animators and film-makers...virtually allowing "HUGE BUDGET" looking scenes to be created with only a measure of patience and a lot of creative elbow grease.

It's exciting for me to consider the possibilities of using this for my own video projects.

Here's a link to Andrew's camera mapping tutorial if you are interested in learning more about how it is done:  http://www.blenderguru.com/videos/camera-mapping-tutorial-v2/

A Few Proccess Steps From Camera Mapping Tutorial By Andrew Price


Andrew mentions a video he said was a great example of this camera mapping technique...and when I saw it I was truly impressed

"Deserted" was created by Bernd and Frank Montag using Cinema 4D software...but the principles and techniques are the same used in Blender.
 
I hope it will inspire you too:





Thanks as always for stopping by!
