  • 3D model to have different versions of 2D?!

    Posted by Adrian Chircu on March 20, 2017 at 3:20 pm

    Hello, I`m doing a 2.5D video [parallax effect] KIND OF, because so far I have only one picture that actually gives the feeling of movement the rest are completely still and only have camera movement to them. [Its for a music video]

    Now for the chorus part of my song which is kinda rocky, I`d like to have a table in the middle of a room and silhouettes of people blown away by an explosion I will add with the help of Action Essentials.

    Problem is I want free pictures, and sadly I cannot find any satisfactory silhouettes, at least not in the required positions so I thought about having a 3D model of a man or a silhouette [that would be great] that I can just move and position just the way I like, and then save it as a 2D png format picture so I could cut it afterwards in Photoshop and add them in my Scene in After Effects.

    What I`d like from you guys is some advice, like if this is a good method of achieving what I just told you or if there`s a better way and —>

    Recommend some websites that have free 3D models of men, cars, etc. and before anyone calls me lazy, I DID search for free 3D models, but all the sites I found had paid models, no free ones. If anyone here can help me with a 3d model of a man or better yet a silhouette of a man and tell me WHERE I can find one for free preferably CC0 license for commercial purposes I would be forever grateful !

    Thanks a lot and sorry for the long read. ????

    I don’t know of any. Unless you’re experienced in 3D, drawing (or shooting like Dave suggests) your own silhouettes would probably be easier than trying to setup a 3D model the way you want.
