    did a bit of research on prison prisoner management.
    the cornwall navy had a special paddle they used for discipline.  supposedly some commander dude saw it in africa and thought it would be good for the rough boys sent from prison to the navy.

    saw this in another thread, now I want to replicate some volumetric clouds on an invisible cylinder or cone

    no help to the poor DAZ studio user asking how crying

  • DartanbeckDartanbeck Posts: 21,583

    A popular Hollywood trick would be to make the cloud cyllinder a completely separate work of art - basically a still image. If it needs to move and evolve, use cartoon creation-like techniques to make the additional frames. Use the cloud elements that were used to 'paint' the cyllinder to put another layer over the lower portion of the figure after he or she was added in (composited). 

    Each layers lighting and glow, etc., can be manipulated individually, yet the final output can also recieve treatment. 

    Fusion is an amazing software to use for such things - and has been used for such things in many Hollywood motion pictures. I'm so glad that FifthElement turned me on to my now beloved Fusion!

    I touch on a bit of that in that video I made, Introducing Rosie, though I'm not sure how apparent it is. Some of the individual clips of Rosie in action were rendered in a Carrara scene, others were composited over scenes that I've rendered separately. Every tiny clip in that video, however, has run through Fusion for one reason or another - more often many. 

    That video was my first actual dabble into making something real using Fusion and DaVinci Resolve. I needed to do that in order to move forward - and it worked. Once we start to understand what we can do with many individual elements, we start seeing more clearly how we can solve seemingly impossible tasks.

  • DartanbeckDartanbeck Posts: 21,583

    Yep. I think I was correct. Take a look at the cloud that covers the lower part of the cloak. The figure does not hold back any light on the cloud that should be in his shadow.

    Such an adorable super hero! 

    I just can't get enough of this movie. I love the movie, but also just watching it again to soak up the incredible work that everybody did to bring it to life. Rosie got me The Art Of Alita Battle Angel hardcover for my birthday, and it is a wonderful walk through so many details - like the fact that they had a costume designer make real clothes for a real girl that had the same proportions as Alita, so that she could move around in them on camera for the animators to heed. A seemstress used Marvelous Designer to the take those patterns and construct the 3D clothing.

    Robert Rodriguez has a tutorial in the Digital Deluxe version of the movie on how he used a 3D printer and his own chocolate-making skills to make the chocolate that Alita falls in love with! So Cool!

    They als have some wonderful clips of different stages of a given sequence. One with the actual actors with their real set combined with some green screen, then the animation phase where they bring in the digital Alita, but with prop hair, and the final render as seen in the movie.

    This whole thing really inspired me to start using Filmmaker tools to help bring my project forward. I think this movie, along with my pals WendyLuvsCats, Garstor and evilproducer gently reminding me every few weeks that I have stuff to do! LOL

    After watching the movie as many times as I have, looking for little things - inspiration, it's cool to see how they did her hair. It is constrained, that's for sure. I mean, some of the things she does would certainly put a lot of hair in her face, but that just doesn't happen - and it works better that way. The eyes are the important thing. Kinda like explosion sounds in space. Scientists say that there's no atmosphere in space to carry the sound waves, so there just wouldn't be any sound. Well thank goodness that filmmakers don't heed such boring information!

    The shader/render work in this movie makes me somewhat jealous even though I was never going after total realism. The lighting and shading are just so spot-on!!!

    How they studied how Rosa Salazar's muscles would fire in her face for every little thing that she did - talking or not, really make Alita a real being in this film. Little quirks that happen even when we don't think we're doing anything. That was the big advantage of finding Rosa: she's incredibly expressive. You'll see in Alita's face that so many things happen to a mouth before and after speech. Just thinking, chewing and then come the words or a taste of a delicious orange... So sweet!
