When working on personal projects, do you prefer to use placeholders or add random names to fill in your designs? This still is from my ongoing personal title sequence project, “Horns”. The sequence is being built in After Effects, with Cinema 4D used for the horn models (repurposed stock asset) and Redshift’s environment tools for the lighting. Magic Bullet Looks helps fine-tune the color grade through multiple tests. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on how you handle placeholder text during design work. What’s your approach? #MotionGraphics #TitleSequence #DesignTips #AfterEffects #Cinema4D #ColorGrading

I discovered a really cool new tool to create 3D mesh! Using Spline I was able to generate the perfect little panda for my animated disco scene. And it couldn’t have been more simple. If you work in 3D or motion design I highly recommend you playing around with this. I think next I’ll show how I rigged this model! #Blender #cg #cinema4d #nvidia #fyp #ae #b3d #aftereffects #motiondesign #spline #spline3d

Hey everyone! This is a short, real-time cinematic I made in unreal engine using lumen. I used Davinci Resolve for color grading and the final edit. #unreal #lumen #cinematic #lighting #ue5

New Tutorial 💫 💡 Hey Guys! In this tutorial, we’ll learn to rebuild beauty passes, work with AOVs, adjust colors, add atmosphere, and polish our render to achieve the final look in Nuke. Suitable for all levels! I regularly share CGI content on my YouTube channel. If you enjoy my tutorials, your support means a lot!

Before and After the VFX of 'Naples - New York'. This before-and-after shot captures the transformation of a scene onboard the ship, filmed in Rijeka, Croatia, with the open sea seamlessly added in post-production using VFX. On location, we had access to only two cranes, each holding 6x9m framed bluescreens suspended from land. This posed significant challenges in framing shots for a ship of this scale, requiring precise planning and execution to ensure the bluescreens covered the necessary areas for post-production. The open sea, entirely created in VFX, was added to replace the bluescreen, integrating natural light reflections, water movement, and atmospheric depth to make the scene feel real. The horizon line was calculated using camera metadata and trigonometry, aligning perfectly with the lens and sensor characteristics to maintain consistency across shots. This sequence highlights the ingenuity required in combining practical and digital elements. By leveraging limited resources on set and meticulous compositing in post, the scene creates the illusion of a vast, open sea surrounding the ship, immersing the audience in the characters’ journey. #vfx #visualeffects #cgi #cg #compositing #comp #victorperez #film #movie #beforeandafter #behindthescenes #fellini

The scene, the animation and the emotion is just superb.

This video gives a condensed overview of how I create concept art. I build a polygon model based on design sketches, set up a scene in Unreal Engine and give it the finishing touches and paintover in Photoshop.

Something a bit more creative from my latest portfolio piece! While it perhaps doesn't give true focus to the main assets, I was really happy to learn a new technique to create an engaging cinematic. I created a spline path blueprint for my Butterfly and a camera rigrail to follow the action as it leads into a focal shot of the main throne (Audio as before).
