What Have I Been Doing In Blender Lately?

Blender is still in my main pipeline, and it is doing good.

This last week I have been doing a commercial for one of Thor Media‘s new apps.  Solar Power, which was released last week.  I suggest that you go pick up a copy, it’s awesome.  I will be doing a post about it soon enough, if you wish to wait for some details on it.

Here are a few screens of the composite.  Guaranteed to make your brain overload.

As you see in the picture, the compositing is a little… Involved.  And I have to say, for this kind of work, Blender is capable, but not the most efficient.  A program, like Adobe After Effects would be more ideal for this kind of situation.  But, it seems that every time I use the compositor in Blender.  I learn something new.  So I stick with it, on most of my projects.

This one is actually kind of a mess.  Simply because I don’t have it optimized for the sequence editor.  This isn’t a big issue, it just makes it a little messy, and a bit harder to do small adjustments.  But everything from keying the green screen to color correction is done is a single run, which is a huge plus for Blender.  Not having to jump between a bunch of separate programs is a blessing, in that there is only one interface and set of controls needed to be learned.
