商品描述

Put the essential concepts and techniques of digital compositing to work for you without the need of a single mathematical equation. Compositing Visual Effects is lavishly illustrated with hundreds of film shots, figures, illustrations, and diagrams to help the visual reader gain a valuable vocabulary and understanding of the full range of visual effects, in which digital compositing plays a key role.

Beginning with an inspirational tour of the scope and magnitude of digital compositing, you get a solid overview of the kinds of digital effects routinely executed today. See how CGI is composited with live action, how set extensions are done, and what a match-move shot is. Following that you learn each of the key applications of digital compositing, which include bluescreen compositing, bullet-time shots, motion tracking, and rotoscoping. The subsequent chapters dig down into each of the major digital compositing applications, introducing the fundamental concepts, and processes behind them. Learn what is easy and hard, possible and impossible, and what to expect when working on a job that entails digital compositing. New to this edition are 4 new chapters on: * 3D compositing, with lessons on what camera tracking is, how it is used to put CGI into a live-action plate, as well as live action into a 3D scene. * Stereo compositing, with descriptions of key stereoscopic terms and concepts, lessons on compositing shots that were filmed in stereo (both bluescreen and CGI), as well as the stereo conversion process when a flat 2D movie is converted to a stereo 3D movie * RED and Digital Capture with Log Images, including log image formats. This is a very hot topic these days. Colleges hang around video because it is cheaper. Film is still big in the real world of production. * Tracking an entire project from start to finish This is in addition to robust updates on topics such as: * planar tracking, Z compositing, working with Anamorphic HD formats, mocap, and more

This edition also includes a companion website with images from the book for you to work with in your own compositing exercises.

  • An accessible introduction to a complex subject for novice and aspiring compositors, from experienced author and compositing whose compositing credits include Night at the Museum 2, Shutter Island, Solaris, Traffic, and more
  • Full color presentation illustrating the art and techniques of the practice, provides inspiration along with instruction
  • New to this edition is a companion website, new chapters on 3D compositing, stereo compositing, RED and digital capture with log images, and more will have you understanding the latest in compositing technology in no time

商品描述(中文翻譯)

將數字合成的基本概念和技巧應用於您的工作中,而無需使用任何數學方程式。《合成視覺效果》以豐富的插圖、數百張電影截圖、圖表和示意圖進行說明,幫助視覺讀者建立寶貴的詞彙和對數字合成在視覺效果的全範圍中所扮演的關鍵角色的理解。

從對數字合成的範圍和規模的啟發性導覽開始,您將獲得對當今常見的數字效果類型的全面概述。了解CGI如何與實景合成,如何進行場景擴展,以及什麼是匹配移動鏡頭。接著,您將學習數字合成的每個關鍵應用,包括藍幕合成、子彈時間拍攝、運動追蹤和剪影。隨後的章節將深入介紹每個主要的數字合成應用,介紹其背後的基本概念和過程。了解哪些是容易和困難的,可能和不可能的,以及在從事數字合成的工作時應該期望什麼。本版新增了四個新章節,包括:

- 3D合成,介紹了相機追蹤的概念和用途,以及將CGI放入實景片段或將實景放入3D場景的方法。
- 立體合成,介紹了立體術語和概念,以及合成立體拍攝的片段(包括藍幕和CGI),以及將平面2D電影轉換為立體3D電影的過程。
- 使用Log圖像的RED和數字捕捉,包括Log圖像格式。這是當今非常熱門的話題。學院更傾向於使用視頻,因為它更便宜。在實際的製作世界中,電影仍然佔據重要地位。
- 從頭到尾追蹤整個項目。此外,還對計劃追蹤、Z合成、使用Anamorphic HD格式、動作捕捉等主題進行了全面更新。

本版還包括一個附帶網站,供您在自己的合成練習中使用書中的圖像。

- 對於初學者和有抱負的合成師來說,這是一個複雜主題的易於理解的介紹,作者是一位經驗豐富的合成師,他的合成作品包括《博物館驚魂夜2》、《鬼島驚魂》、《太陽曆》、《交通》等。
- 全彩色呈現,以插圖展示實踐的藝術和技巧,提供啟發和指導。
- 本版新增了一個附帶網站,新增了關於3D合成、立體合成、使用Log圖像的RED和數字捕捉等章節,讓您迅速了解最新的合成技術。
- 附帶網站compositingvfx.com提供示範視頻和其他額外資料。
