VFX Hut December Update

First of all! – Thank you to each and everyone that has either bought from our store or signed up for one of our plans. Content-wise we may seem to be slower than usual but what have we been upto, well I’m glad you asked:

  • Lens Dirt Fx Pack consisting of 61 Images (Released)
  • Surface Scanning / Collecting
  • Surface Creation (Expected to release another 18 by Jan 2022)
  • Working BTS to improve our Future VDB Products
  • Big Changes to VFX Store and Membership site
  • The idea of where we see the brand going forward
  • Potential of Base Mesh 3D Models as part of our offering again
  • Talks but not a promise of Other VFX Assets (Pre-rendered VDBS)

Resolution:

Our Surface Imperfections vary in resolution depending on what we are capturing. Most maps will be between 4K and 3.5K, but none should be under 2K - allowing for maximum quality as captured within the real world.

Type:

We currently have two types of imperfection maps, Still (Imperfections) and Video (Motion Imperfections). Our Motion Imperfections are captured at 8K using a RED V-RAPTOR Camera.

Motion Imperfections:

We provide a 120fps processed MOV & Standard speed processed in PNG Sequences, HQ MP4 and MP4. If they are too slow feel free to speed them up using the 120fps footage.

Please Note: Most Motion Imperfections will not be seamless

Resolution:

Most VDB Volumes are Low to Medium Resolution, meaning they are designed for Mid to Wide shots.

This is to allow all users of GPU Renderers to add volumes into their scenes. Also it helps keep the file size down.

VDB Volumes labeled [L] are our legacy volumes (Early Volume Creations) (Wide Shots)

VDB Volumes labeled [SQ] are resolution designed for wide shots (Wide-Mid)

VDB Volumes labeled [MQ] are the optimal resolution for file size or asset type (Mid)

VDB Volumes labeled [HQ] are 2-3x the resolution of non-HQ files (Mid to Close)

VDB Volumes labeled [HQ2] require a single GPU with more than 11GB VRAM (Close up)
