Compositing a Spaceship 5/5: Finishing Touches

This is the final part of the tutorial series. Last week we brought everything together in one big multipass composite. Now, it’s time for some finishing touches.

In the video below, you see some final adjustments to the shadows in 2D and 3D as well as some effects that should improve the integration of the render. A light wrap, some careful edge blur, and a few added stock effects to finish the shot.

I hope you enjoyed the series! Here is again the complete outline and the final part below:

1. Model import
2. 3D camera tracking, lighting, and animation
3. Paintwork and planar tracking
