Use 3D camera tracking and lighting to match the scene and create 3D animation.
Compositing a Spaceship 1/5: 3D Model Import
Learn how to work with external models, textures, and animations.
Advanced Shadow Extraction from 3D Renderer
Extract a 2D shadow pass from 3D for 2d manipulation. Or project soft shadows back into a 3D scene for use with the OpenGL renderer.
Use Bump Maps to Create Realistic Materials
Bump maps and height maps can be used to simulate 3D displacement in materials. Use it to create rough textures and fine depth detail surfaces without the need to use an extreme number of subdivisions.
Image Plane 3D vs Projectors – Bringing Images into 3D
Use Camera Projection, attach images to 3D objects or use Image Plane 3D. Learn about the differences and apply the correct method in DaVinci Resolve & Fusion.
Understanding Materials
Attach materials to your Text3d or load 3D Models with textures. Use Blinn, Phong, Cook-Torrance, Ward and more.
