Technical Direction for Compositing - Project 3

3/2/25

First pass of animation in the scene, along with the HDRI!

I've decided with keeping the comic theme, and found this thor frog model from Sketchfab!

3/1/25

HDRI is all set up, chrome ball to check the lighting is in the right place, projection of the texture is on the K.

2/28/25

Made the K for the box! I was having a bit of trouble with setting up the boolean correctly for the box inside, so I had to remake the mesh and retopologize it.

2/25/25

I retracked my plate, and found a good amount of sucess! I took a cube in nuke after usiung the Camera Tracker and put it in, to see if the track was working and here it is!

Heres also the concept super roughly drawn out, that the letter would peel up and reveal a critter

2/23/25

I reshot my plates after discussing going about what I actually wanted to do in my shot, and that I found I was having a lot of slipping with the track; which as I was able to I reshoot rather then having to fight the plate. I also have a few different versions of the plate, but I would like to work with this one for now.

Another few versions I could use if the one I picked doesnt work out

2/22/25

Finished the model of the box for now!
