DEADLINE: Wednesday 3rd December
FORMAT: Video - Maximum length 30 seconds 1080p, Quicktime (H.264) or MP4
STEP 1: 2D TO 3D
Take a photo! Be creative and think about how this image will interact with your fluid simulation.
Help!
For help converting your photo to 3D, check out this tutorial by Greyscalegorilla in which Cinema 4D's Camera Calibrator is used to turn a photograph of a garage into a digital matte for a 3D animation.
Software/Program
Cinema 4D Broadcast, Visualize or Studio
Camera Calibration, Camera Mapping and/or Projection Man has to be utilized to turn 2D into 3D
For those who want to take the simulation to the next level, Cinema 4D's Projection Man can be used to patch the matte when necessary (for example when missing texture information is becoming apparent due to certain camera movements)
STEP 2: JUST ADD WATER!
... or honey, or oil, or blood... you decide!
