Lights, Camera, 3D: Week Four's Cinematic Symphony
In our fourth week of this exhilarating cinematic endeavor, we're thrilled to announce that our live-action plate has received the stamp of approval from our mentors. The new previsualization has sparked admiration, setting the stage for the meticulous work ahead.
In my dual role as a match move and compositing artist, the fourth week of our cinematic endeavor ushered in a shift of focus towards the intricate task of tracking the scene in 3D Equalizer. This marked a crucial step in the creation of our third shot, where the hero product takes center stage.
The resulting track, a testament to meticulous precision, boasts commendable solidity, with a minimal error margin of just 0.2. This foundational work sets the stage for the hero product's grand entrance, ensuring a seamless integration with the further pipeline

With the foundation laid, I imported the camera into Maya, marking the genesis point where our hero product will materialize.
In tandem with the team's ongoing efforts to fine-tune adjustments in the previsualization and shaders, we also delved into the creation of the 3D scan for our rabbits. This scan serves as the backbone for the FX, playing a crucial role in Houdini where objects will be mated to it, allowing particles to rotate around it dynamically. The precise alignment of rabbits and eggs is particularly important, influencing the accurate casting of shadows in the scene.
Taking a significant leap forward, the FBX camera export has seamlessly transitioned to our FX artist. Simultaneously, our team is deeply immersed in the intricate process of modeling the cloth within the scene. With an eye on the anticipated interplay of particles casting shadows, we are committed to achieving a meticulous representation that captures everything of the visual narrative.

The fourth week marks a pivotal milestone in our journey, where each meticulous step is a brushstroke, contributing to the masterpiece we're collectively crafting. Stay tuned as we venture deeper into the realms of modeling, lighting, and the seamless integration of CGI elements, bringing our vision to life with unparalleled precision and artistry.
