For this week, we had shot our live plate footage and start doing R&D for the effects. Here are the progress video for team Ducati.
My accomplishments for this week is updated the PreVis and R&D portal and light streak effects.
Nathan and I also had a meeting on Friday, and we decided how we want the effects to look like. After that, I updated the PreVis to match with the camera position and panning to the live plate we shoot, and also the effects. Here is the updated version of the PreVis.
While we are filming the live plate, we also did some tests with long exposure to get some references for the light streak effects.
R&D
Since I am still pretty new to particle and other effects in Houdini, I start my R&D by looking at a bunch of tutorials on YouTube. Therefore, I made these portal effects based on this Tutorial. They are not exactly what we want for our portal effects, but I still learned a lot. I will play around with this effect more to get the particles shoots more toward inside, and less circular motion to work more with our rectangle effects.
Here are some more references for the portal and lighting streak effects.
