Starting with camera tracking, PFTrack allows analysis of the video sequence and taking subsequent actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the continuation of this series, we highlighted a few points and a checklist to follow before setting up a 3D scene based on the actual sequence.<br><br>After reading part 2, you will now be more accustomed to planning your scene with the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>HDRI for ambient light or directional light to emulate the presence of the sun.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hidden geometries used to cast or receive shadows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3D planes are used to both model the terrain elevation and understand where to locate 3D objects in space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does color match solely depend on the renderer? The answer is no, of course! As you&#8217;ve probably realized, the renderer gives you a great result, but the icing on the cake is up to the compositing software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several tools for adding post-processing effects and working in post-production. We&#8217;ll focus on After Effects, but if you feel more comfortable working with Nuke or any 3D software, go ahead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, by the way, this is the final sequence we&#8217;ll discuss in After Effects later. Watch it in 4K for a better definition!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ufOcX7cQJec?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-render-passes\"><span id=\"render-passes\">Render Passes<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When dealing with a 3D render, it&#8217;s common to work with render passes. But what are they, exactly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a nutshell, a render pass holds specific aspects of the scene by rendering them as a separate element. That means we might have several renders: one just for the specular reflections, one for the shadows, one for the <strong>ambient occlusion,<\/strong> and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, we mix them up and export the final render\u2014 also known as the &#8220;Beauty Pass.&#8221; The beauty pass combines the different compositional layers\u2014specular and diffuse reflections, ambient occlusion, shadows, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are undoubtedly many benefits of working with render passes. They help you isolate and correct single parts of the scene without affecting the entire render.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The previous images\u2014from a project I discuss in a tutorial\u2014show a few render passes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An ambient occlusion pass adds soft shadows in occluded areas, while an object ID pass allows you to isolate specific scene objects in compositing and work on them separately. And again, a specular pass considers the reflections, giving more control over their contribution to the final render.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can imagine, there are many elements we can isolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Considering the size of our hero car from the camera, we don&#8217;t necessarily need many passes.<br>We&#8217;ll see how just a few passes are acceptable for our purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-render-passes-do-we-need\"><span id=\"what-render-passes-do-we-need\">What Render Passes do we need?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before choosing the number of passes to render, think of your final composition to understand what you need. Generally, it&#8217;s an excellent habit to render different passes. This allows you to tweak your final image as you like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I saved different passes for the static renders of the car. However, for the related animations, there was no need to export many keys for a simple reason: Considering the size of our hero car from the camera, many surface details are barely visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I used the beauty pass with two additional passes for aerial renders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong>beauty pass<\/strong> renders the car animation with direct\/indirect specular reflections and direct\/indirect diffuse reflections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>shadow pass <\/strong>only catches shadows visible in the final video<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>ambient occlusion pass<\/strong> (AO) takes into account the contact shadows. This is useful for creating more integration with the environment. For instance, the attenuation of light when the car lies on the road is achieved by an AO pass.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, the specular reflections belong to the beauty pass and are not saved in a different render pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AveHyjReGwU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Starting from a render in Maya, I worked in After Effects to improve the final quality.

Refine the render in your 3D application as much as possible to have an excellent starting point during compositing. This implies fewer headaches while color matching and color correcting in post-production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working on robust lighting setups with accurate HDRIs, shadows, and additional lighting sources is extremely important and saves time afterward.

It&#8217;s a cheaper effect but much easier and faster to apply. Just remember not to boost the tint amount so much, otherwise, the subject is more likely to be affected by a color cast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-working-on-custom-reflections\"><span id=\"working-on-custom-reflections\">Working on custom Reflections<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike the other shots, reflections here are considered a separate render pass. In particular, we deal with two different types of reflection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The specular highlights from the lighting setup we built.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The fake reflections from the environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As long as you can access the shooting area and use light probes to capture 360-degree environment reflections, that&#8217;s perfect! However, most of the time, it&#8217;s impossible to shoot at the actual location, so you need to fake the reflections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But how?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider that most reflections are visible on the rear window and the car&#8217;s roof. So I decided to target specific <strong>planes<\/strong> towards those areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each plane reproduces an animated pre-elaborated clip to cover the car&#8217;s surface. The delicate plane movement, summed to the video clip playback, helps increase the sense of dynamism of the whole shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fake-reflections.jpg\" alt=\"Adding mockup reflections in Maya\" class=\"wp-image-176481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fake-reflections.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fake-reflections.jpg?resize=300,158 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fake-reflections.jpg?resize=768,404 768w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fake-reflections.jpg?resize=277,146 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fake-reflections.jpg?resize=359,189 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fake-reflections.jpg?resize=543,286 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fake-reflections.jpg?resize=865,455 865w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fake-reflections.jpg?resize=994,523 994w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fake-reflections.jpg?resize=560,295 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fake-reflections.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Each plane reproduces a pre-elaborated video reflected by the car<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VPgEO-Vraew?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>This Maya sequence shows that the planes move to cover the car<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A curious fact: if you observe the reflections on the rear window, you&#8217;ll notice a pre-elaborated version of the initial video clip, without the car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a certain point, you observe the road, the sky, and the bridge, with the idea to extend the same environment behind the car. Pretty cool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, remember to save the reflections pass for After Effects. For instance, if the reflections appear dull, you can always boost their intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lens-flare-effect\"><span id=\"lens-flare-effect\">Lens Flare Effect<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We add this kind of effect in post-production. If you observe the real vehicle, there is a strong reflection\u2014on the roof of the car\u2014that creates a pattern on the camera lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lens flare effect produces a glare that might improve your 3D integration sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nonetheless, consider using the lens flare effect sparingly.

As happened in the previous example, the effect is soft and less noticeable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Curves<\/strong>: By observing the curve profile, we mainly increase the brightness in the bright areas\u2014the roof of the car for instance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Camera LensBlur<\/strong>: Adds some blurriness to the car.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Unsharp Mask<\/strong>: Increases the contrast close to the edges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add Grain<\/strong>: Most of the time, real cameras introduce a grainy look to the image. This effect simulates that look.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, here is the video showing a few post-processing effects used in AE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
