I’ve been wanting to do some medical or material science animations, but I can’t wrap my head around how it would work. I can make a procedural landscape and make individual objects within an area, but how to you implement it onto an object you want to zoom into? I’ve been trying to find a tutorial, not just on how to do it but how it works as well. Here are some videos to show examples on what I mean:
This also extend onto Planets and landing a spaceship on a planet. There’s a lot of Planet tutorials, so I don’t mind that, but there’s no tutorial on how to make a landing animation from space onto a planet’s surface.
I have been doing zoom shots like those all day, and that is what I use for some of those. There are some video transitions in those movies you referenced.
is late with the answer,
here would be another singleshot in 3d of me ,
in the making of you can see the camera image in the upper left and the side view of the camera movement in the lower right.
All 3d, which helps is when you move into the picture spatially that you can see the detail what works in the distance then hidden in the camera-dof because it is mostly not possible to manage so much detail (geometry) data, even if it appears as one shot I was able to separate the scene into several small pieces.
Oh so it is all just one camera. And nice, I can see that the zoom in onto the carpet is mostly instances with only a small part actually rendered. And I didn’t know about splitting shots and later compositing it to make i t appear one shot. That should’ve been obvious to me lol. Thanks for the share!
