The Secret for the “professional look”.
Hey Guys,
I’m working on a basic project where i try using some 3d compositing with 2D pictures to create a feelling that the watcher is ‘walking’ trough the movie. The kind you see everyday.. Well the problem is: when i make 2D designs they look quite good. But when i try it in 3D it looks someway ‘amaturistic’. Im porbably not the first person to stumble on this issue. I was wondering are there any trics, ofcourse besides ‘Time and Money’. To get the ‘pro’ effect. I was thinking about detailed backgrounds or even simple background animations and colours.
Well if anyone has any tips just shoot them at me! ( is that even a figure of speech?? :P)thanks!

Try this tutorial – 3D is about Space…Z space to be accurate.

Use cameas – 35 is decent and push through. Get to know you Bezier tools for adjusting speed and motion for the path. Use Easy Easy when possible (F9). Distort>OPtics Compensation>Reverse will add a bit as well.

add some lights. very often texture and lighting are overlooked.

Watch everything that moves and try to figure out what exactly about its movement makes it look the way it looks.
Whenever an ad or movie or tv show youre watching has something interesting try to pick it apart and figure out how they did it.Try stuff out even if it doesn’t work. Try every tutorial even if its not something you feel you want to do, often one small step in anotherwise usless tutorial (None of the tutorials here!!) will yeild a technique or a tool or a workflow idea you never would have figured out on your own.
Eventually even if you are a slow learner you will have figured it all out.
Also the more you learn the easier things become because you are building on a foundation of all your accumulated knowledge.
