Conquer Your Fear of Spiders

dude I was just trying to find a model last night I was like starting to get a little sick I'm just looking at the spider I know you're playing with me but like some primal part of me just panicked oh dude look at this look at that wallpaper I just from posting on the runner subreddit so if you want this as

your

wallpaper check it out today is the first one because we're starting the visuals on our first quarter video of the year and I'm actually really excited for it to be It's been about a month and a half since I really dove into some visual effects, so let's get into it.

They spent the last few days editing this sequence that they filmed over the weekend. It was actually quite fun. At this point, you probably know the concept. uh, shoots webs out of his butt. There are several effects here. I think there are at least a dozen, so not many, but a couple of them will be a little challenging. We'll have to do some string simulations. There are several shots. where I have to add like this censored mosaic effect over her butt, here's the thing, although I don't like

spiders

and that's an understatement. I've resisted doing any kind of spider effects my whole life because they make me sick. like the classic Spider-Man shot where the spider is hanging from the lens, the lens is pointing down and I realized it wasn't as bad as last night, that Brett, I'm dizzy, now the viewers might not believe me.

I have permission to laugh with you Dubai. I actually have to find a high-quality spider model, which I don't want to do at all, and then also animate the legs, another thing I've

fear

ed my whole life, and then render it as real as I am. Can I just type spider? I'm, I'm, it's just that even a 3D model that looks like a real man, I mean, it's a pretty well detailed video, you know how you're supposed to face

your

fear

s by watching it. The picture, can we just pause it for a moment please, pretty twisted man?

Now I'm having flashbacks of similar moments in my life. There was a time when I was building a house and I picked up a rubber boot and a black widow crawled out. Right out of it and over my hand and I dropped it and went home here's a hundred dollar black widow, it's really high detail, really high detail, it even has hair, yeah, this one doesn't bother me that much, we'll have a black widow effect we can do red sorry sorry ren so funny so funny everyone here is white look at this it's the easiest simulation you can do because I have 3ds max open right now and if I just make a box then I make a plane just makes a great play a plane is like a flat box press the t-shirt button move it up and up then i press the play button you basically make a cloth simulation and then render a web texture on top of that Using the spider web is also an opacity map, so it is transparent in places where the spider web is black, but anywhere where the spider web is white it is opaque, that is, the spider web, although it is a web that is being simulated about something you're just seeing. web pattern and you're seeing through everything that's not the web, so it looks like there's just a spider web covering Jake, while it's actually a blanket.

What I did was simulate the blanket. I had gravity going this way. The blankets are wrapped. around it, then I turn off the gravity, turn up the wind turbulence a little, pin the blankets to the wall, and place plaques in various places around it, which becomes like the little shaking effect from the original footage that has like a silly rope everywhere and that kind of just helps add some parts to it so you can see the spider web, so yeah, that's a jake on the wall. I'm still going to put things like blur to match the shot and blur just crushes the detail the extra high detail you get from the render basically the sharper your 3D render looks the less realistic it looks look that's what I am hypersensitive to these things right now just because I'm nervous, so one of the reasons I have this big fear is because when I was a kid I lived in Louisiana and they have what are called banana

spiders

.

I don't know what their real name is, but they are literally that big. You have these abdomens that are like fucking bananas, they're huge and they like to spread webs between cities, so you're walking and suddenly you have a huge spider, this big, right in your face, trying to rip my eyes out. Google, let's complete the story, oh, look at the hand, yes, yes, oh, there's a spider in a banana bag. I have to get some air. Let's set your background as a spider. I apologize for this intentional infliction of emotional distress, but it's worth it.

With this segment over, I'll move on to something that doesn't look like a spider for a moment. It's easy for me when there isn't a real one there or a picture of one. I will focus on creating all the project files. and starting with making webs and stuff, I'm looking forward to doing a rope simulation, I just want to get that spider thing out of the way, man, Clint, it's so fucking fun, yeah, like I was saying, I'm actually really excited to get started With these effects, where did you do? By the way, get that desk.

You can change it? I don't want it, I don't want to change it, so money. No, where did you save the original render? I can not find it. Thank you very much for having to animate the legs. the shot is literally the spider falling, so what do spiders do when their legs fall? They just hang there and spread out and stuff, so it's like I have to animate those legs. Fortunately, the model came with some really good controls. I was able to move my legs very easily, but I still had to do it. Hi Carmichael, I finished all the effects except this one and the money shot which is kind of like a clock simulation windup.

It's not real. I've learned that you all are idiots. I've learned that Gabe just laughs. I never did anything. This is what I'm not so afraid of. These little ones like I used to have them. And by these little ones I specifically mean this black one. widow model if there is a real black wood on my desk, that would be a completely different story. A crazy fucking spider bit me and I got all my powers from him. I just found out I have another ticket for tonight's show, so what happened after that?
