Making a Monumental Burger (w/ burger asset)

Douglas Steele

I'm fairly certain most of the pipeline structures are just cubes with wire modifiers applied and then UV projected onto with a Cube projection

could you do a timelaspe of you making a structure with the pipes near the end?

Would love to see a detailed rigging walk through. I can never seem to get my armatures/weights quite right. Leaves me feelin' sillier than a train-conducting goose in a caboose.

Ah! I think they have a few different plans? The one I use is free to get the program, but (weirdly) you have to pay for the amount of data you put into it. If you do a ton of high res pictures, you have to pay more, so I usually try to compress mine fairly small to save money :D

Hi Ian, I have a question, we owe my bad English, I do not know if I understood correctly. Did you say that creating the 3d model of the hambugersa with the REality Capture software only costs $1? I was looking at their website and it seems that they only have payment plans that start at $19 a month You can tell me if that's the case or if there's a cheaper way to do it Thank you

Ian Hubert

AH! Thanks for that Javifer! :D

Maybe it's pretty obvious, but when you import a clip on the sequence editor, the number at the end of the name in the strip is the last frame, I use that to adjust the end frame. But! if you trim the clip the number in the strip name will not adjust accordingly, then I just grab the strip, and then, on the edges of the strip it will display the start and end frames. (hope it was useful for someone...)

This tutorial is completely nuts, thanks a lot!

Now I'm hungry

... just when you think you've had enough default cube jokes... Ian pulls you back in!

it's that guy!

I gotta say, I *love* this hypothetical scenario where you have to scan 50 burgers for some reason But yes, RealityCapture's pricing system is really annoying

Ian Hubert

Ah yeah!! I'll get that uploaded in the next day here! :D

Ian Hubert

That's true. Although, I just scan one burger and copy and duplicate it 50 times. Burger King hates it!

i think i am in love with this image

Ian, is videobashing a secret technique of yours or this is something done regularly in the industry?

Really enjoy seeing different parts of your workflow! Would love to check out the splash screen blend file btw :)

More then a dollar reality capture has lost it..if I have to scan 50 burgers I have to pay 50$ ...that's too much

Ian Hubert

We had an ad-lib in one episode where someone yelled, "Meat is illegal!" and I thought it was funny, but now I'm cross referencing everything and being like, "Wait COULD it be illegal though?" Like, if meat were illegal for 30 years or something, ads wouldn't say, "It's a Vegeburger"- it'd just be "A Burger", right? Also for some reason the meat texture looks purple, so I'm just gonna say it's eggplant :P

Ian Hubert

Hey Elijah!! Thanks for being here! And hah! Yeah, I've actually been working on literally exactly that for the past couple hours, but it's 3am and my brain is mush, so I'm going to pick it back up tomorrow! :D

First time commenting! Hi guys! Haha, Ian I just wanted to aka if it was possible to one day maybe do a video about creating the atmospheric backgrounds to your scenes! Really bringing them to life

One of those worker dudes is going on strike... he's vegan.

Jan van den Hemel

Waiter, I'll have what he's having!

I agree to this, a tutorial about lighting would be really helpful

Awesome! Thanks man! It would be very useful someday to make a tutorial on photorealistic light, your scenes are breathtaking!

Oh no.. on Friday we had our once-a-month donuts - of course I didn't scan them. Well, they go on the list. Has potential for conflicts though: "Yeah, let's grab some donuts. Before we eat though, let me scan them real quick.." :D

Mark Miller

Waiter! There's a default cube in my burger!

Ian Hubert

Hahaha! yeah usually when I'm aggressively filming a cheeseburger on the back porch.

Ian Hubert

Woo! Haha, yeah! I feel like I've been pushing 3d scanning pretty hard lately, but it's like- this dream workflow of just being able to snag real life bits and combine them with CG, and vice-versa, until it doesn't even matter; it's been so fun. It's like photo-collaging in photoshop, but with full 3d environments.

Erich Stenzel

Ha ha! This is awesome! Boy, what the heck is going on inside of the mind of Ian? Do people have to just take a step back from you at times and say, "Whoa, dude?"

Maxime Gérardin

This is the straw that broke the camel's back haha! Now I want to photos an everything around me and make a CG world entirely from real life world
