All language subtitles for 06. Refining the Distortion Projectile

hi everyone

welcome back to Lesson 5

in our course on creating high tech weaponry in nuke

uh this class

we're gonna uh

continue on with refining our uh

distortion bubble

so let's go ahead and refine it

so last class

we finished by creating the distortion effect

um we kind of roughly threw it in there

and this is what we have

so to refine this

we're just gonna do a few extra things

just to kinda make it look a bit prettier

so here is the frame where the distortion exits um

I like to kind of show that there's some motion to it

so I like to stretch it out a little bit

so to do that

we'll add um

a directional

actually we'll just add a regular blur

blur node

and we're gonna add this to the visible portion of this

so basically it's a two layered effect

we have the bottom layer

which is this eye distort node

which is distorting under it

and over on top of it

is this what we're seeing kind of on top of it

just to give it some visual appearance to the eyes

so you see actually see a little

something more than just the distortion of the plate

so for this portion here we'll just add a blur node

and for this we will

blur just the width and not the height

so we'll say maybe five

you can just kind of do this to your eyes

you know content whatever looks pleasing to you

and maybe something like this so if we view our comp

see that we don't see it very much

so we can increase the visibility of it if we want

maybe something like that

and then for the distortion portion

if you view our eye distort

kind of toggle between that

we'll see this is what we get

it can maybe distort it a bit more

so we'll just bring down the visibility

just a little bit more here

something like that

now we will also tint this

and give it a little bit of color

a little bit of pop so

this portion here will add um we'll add a glow node

and we will add a little color to it again

this is all arbitrary you can make whatever color kinda

I like to go with kind of like the blues

so maybe something like that

kind of glow it out a little bit more

show that it's some light

yeah probably even brighten it up a little not too much

maybe something like that

so if we play that

and kind of see where we're at with this

it's looking a little bright so we'll bring down the uh

it will bring down the intensity of

the brightness of the um

distortion bubble

okay

and also for this distortion

as we're seeing it's affecting the muzzle flash

so we're gonna wanna animate this off

drain those frames

there we go

there we go

so we now have a more refined distortion bubble

that exits our gun

it's looking pretty good

pretty happy with it

um I'd like to see it look

appear as if it's moving a bit faster

so I'm just going to move it further

towards the edge of the frame right here

it's gonna move

that this way

just to help sell the fact that there's some speed

with this let's try this now

take a look

alright there we go

so this is the end of this lesson

uh next lesson we will be jumping into

creating some distortion effects

that actually affect the entire plate

and that kind of helps sell the

the energy behind this muzzle flash gun effect

so thank you for joining us

and we'll see you next class thank you
