camera projection - Maya

camera projection - Maya from Michael Gardiner on Vimeo.

I took an image from the internet in order to save time on creating a matte painting as the aim of this exercise was to get a better understanding of the camera projection process.

I broke the image up into layers and then cloned in extra information on certain layers so that the final shot camera in Maya would be able to rotate slightly.

I then placed the image at the back of the camera in Maya to use as reference for modelling. I then projected the Photoshop layers onto the corresponding geometry in Maya along with the layers alpha channel. After rendering from Maya I added a slight camera shake using After Effects.

Below I have included a wireframe render of the first and last frames of the camera move in Maya, along with the separated layers of the image which correspond to the separate layers of the Maya model which are needed to create parralax.

2d exercises - day for night, sky replacement, extension
