Grass Field with Trapcode Particular

I am currently working on the new reel for imago and while digging in the project archives I came across this this test render for One Man Show – a piece I made back in 2008. Using Trapcode Particular and three Photoshop layers I created a large scale meadow that, honestly speaking, didn’t get enough exposure in the finished piece.

If you were hoping for the new QubaHQ tutorial this weekend, you will need to wait just a bit more. I am bit busy with the projects at the moment, plus it’s over 32°C and humid in here at the moment, making my brain melt from the heat.

Did the depth of field get narrower at the end because it was getting near the edge of the field?

Quba Michalski

Nope – the DoF is static in this piece. The effect becomes more pronounced simply because the camera pans down and gets some really close grass blades in the frame.

The field is actually quite huge, with the set falloff, so that the computer won’t die trying to render too much distance.

is there a tutorial for this? :O i really like it

Quba Michalski

I never made the tutorial for this – maybe sometime I will. The whole setup is quite simple, and not really multi-purpose so I am not sure this is something worth “tutorializing”.

leo

- AE64
  AE64 is a tribute to the demoscene and to the legacy of world’s most popular microcomputer: Commodore 64.
  
  While this video was created using the typical contemporary arsenal of tools (mainly After Effects and Cinema 4D), it conforms to most of the basic graphical limitations of the C64 such as a limited 16-color palette, low resolution, use of the overscan area etc. To maintain the spirit of the demo, I also created most of the effects using various scripts and code snippets, procedurally automating many of the tasks typically animated using keyframes.
- Tutorial: UFO Trolling
  In this tutorial I will teach you how to create your own UFO troll video using After Effects and Mocha – a process that should take you no longer than 30 minutes from the moment you grab a camera, to the time you are ready for upload.
- Quba Michalski: Creative Free Agent
  I am the creative free agent, and I want you to work with me.
- Preset+Tutorial: Floaties
  In this tutorial I will demonstrate the use of a new free preset from QubaHQ.com – Floaties. Floaties is a text animator based fake particle simulator allowing you to create floating specs of dust, glitters, bokeh-style out of focus abstract backgrounds and other visual elements.
- Preset+Tutorial: Stop Motion Kit
  In this tutorial I will show you how to quickly simulate stop motion aesthetic using my After Effects Stop Motion Kit. This collection of presets will allow you to easily add subtle imperfections to the movement of objects in your scene, emulating animator errors that are a staple of stop motion animation. Using 6 different expression sets, you will be able to apply and control glitches in movement, rotation and timing of your objects as well as simulate changes in camera position and exposure.

  Here is my personal reel for June 2011, featuring pieces I have directed, edited, animated and designed in the recent years.
