All language subtitles for 09. Flaring Out the Plate

hi everyone

welcome back to our 8th class

in our course on creating high tech

projectile weaponry and nuke

in this class

we're going to create a lighting effect

that's going to affect the entire plate

similar to our plate distort that we did last week

so for this effect

it's not a complicated effect

doesn't take a lot of time to do um

again for you know

some of the effects that are going on in this shot

um they're not difficult

but they're all just layered up slowly upon each other

and they build and create that dynamic

dynamicism for the shot

so last week

we created our um

plate to store it

which is what you can see here

and so for our effect

we're going to be

placing that around the area of our muzzle flash

so if we go to the frame where we first see the

muzzle blast

muzzle flash

that's around frame 43 and frame 44

so what we're gonna do is we're gonna grab a grade node

we're gonna attach it to the bottom of our stream

this is currently our tree setup

I've gone ahead and added some backdrops

and labeled stuff

we started with our plate

we did our ejection shell removal

then we added our muzzle flashes

muzzle glows

then we did our distortion blast after that

with some interactive lighting

and our plate distort last week

so for this

we're going to um

basically flare out the plate

so if we view the grade

and we start gaining up the plate

we're gonna want to kind of

again go with the animation of the muzzle flash

so where the muzzle flash is smaller

we're gonna do a little less

where the muzzle flash is bigger

we're gonna add a little more

so right frame 43 we'll do something maybe

maybe like that and we'll set a key frame

go back set our key frame to 1

so it's not affecting frame 43 or 42 sorry

and frame 44 we're gonna increase it a bit more

now as you can see

we've kind of lost a lot of detail in our um

muzzle flower

so we'll kind of have to go back

and kind of ease off on that

and kind of balance the two

so if we go forward again

I'll turn this off

and that's that

so if we look at what we've done

we can kind of go back in our script

and adjust the sizing of the muzzle flash

so the muzzle flash is over here

so with that

what we're gonna do is we're going to just

decrease the size a bit

just until it kind of feels right

so maybe something like that will kind of do for now

the next one here do the same thing

I was actually adjusting the wrong rotor shape

but we're back to the right one

so for this we'll also make that smaller

so if we view what we've done and play it

so this effect

you know it's uh

it's an effect that some would say

well you don't need it

cause you have the interactive lighting

that's true

however you know

for these shots

you kind of wanna show that

you know I mean

it depends this isn't

this is something that you can add

or is it something you can leave away

you know depending on what you want for your shot

or what your supervisor or the client wants

this is something that

you know again

just helps add a little extra to the shot

which is kind of what we're going for here

so we have that

to me that's feeling pretty good

kind of go in and adjust it a little bit more

and by adjusting

I think what we'll do is

we will maybe ease off on this frame here

and see if we can get a little more detail back

it's gonna be hard

because of the background here being blue and whites

we're not gonna get that detail that we're looking for

so the frame before the value was 1.55

so let's see this is 2.25 we go down to 1.55

kind of go from there till we just lose detail

so I'd say maybe something like that

it's probably okay

it's kind of the line between where we lose all detail

and see a little bit of detail

so we'll say that

so it's pretty dramatic difference on both frames

alright one thing I think I'll also do is um

I'm going to move

the distortion blast a little over to the right

just to kind of give it a little bit more speed

and playback

or I guess the illusion of speed

so what we're gonna do is we're going to

just nudge it over with the transform node

so I'll put it

transform the first portion of the distortion blast

maybe just slide it over a little bit over here

then I will copy that transform mode

and add it over here

so let's play that and see what we got

we're not viewing the right portion of the tree

let me view the bottom here we go

so there you go

now we have added our um

plate lighting effect

um that kind of helps push the shot a little bit more

um thanks for joining us this class

and I'll see you next class thanks
