Projection and 3d Camerra Mapping

[Kirk Lauterbach]

Nevermind. I think I am going to play with Cinema 4d for now. I just learned you could use it with SV. My other question though IS
what might my workflow look like to make my text move. I specifically want to make it look like it is falling out of the sky.
Do I use masking??

Wow, Cinema 4D cost $3,695.00. You must have deep pockets if you can just decide to use it like that. I have a very old copy that I picked up on eBay for $99 (Version 7) and I think it’s the easiest 3D application to learn but I just can’t afford to buy the new version.

No, I would render with an alpha channel with whatever 3D application that you use Then just tell Vegas Pro to use the alpha channel and all will be left is your animation floating over the video.

I watched the previous video and you could do something similar in Vegas Pro using Boris Continuum Complete 3D Objects with BCC Extruded Text. What you won’t get is the shadow on your scene which is what really sells the shot.

Yeah, i really love Cinema 4D, But expensive yes, not to mention
creating believable modeling concepts and rendering, time
consuming man.
Yet its the easiest to learn and get a grip on, more than the other
3D applications on the market.

WOW, that’s disappointing to know the cost. I don’t have it and did not realize it was so expensive. I was reading up on it though and apparently they have a free student version. They just have to verify my enrollment. I think right now I am more focused on learning to correct colors and getting the correct exposure.

I just always thought that was a neat effect and was curious about doing it.

Thanks John

You could always use Blender which is free and very powerful. Not anywhere as easy to learn and use as Cinema 4D but the price is right. 😉

Thank You!

Easy to Use…..Im starting to enjoy that term more.

Blender can do many things and in skillful hands, can output
models as good as Maya and 3DMax.
