G2-Update2
The Effect
The final video will have a person walking into a scene and then using his hands to create fluid motion in the scene. After the person leaves, the scene keep swirling and then stops, showing a completely different view.
Progress since Update 1:
1. Fluid Solver
- Fluid Solver code completed for use in project.
- Code reduced to only essential fluid procedures.
- Gauss-Seidel pressure projection method replaced with more effective conjugate gradient solver.
- Addition of bitmap image loading into system.
- Addition of bitmap frame writing completed.
- TODO: write image to disk each frame of the fluid simulation.
- TODO: create vector motion input from file (a kind of vector field script reader for new and different motions at different points in time)
2. Locations and Footage DONE
- Locations mapped out for final production.
- Photos taken of site.
- Video footage shot of site from various angles.
- motion footage with actor.
- actor approaching scene.
3. Motion Capture
4. Image Morphing
- Currently searching for the best image morphing software to shift between two moving fluid fields.
- TODO: use software to merge two videos together to create seemless image transitions.
5. Problems to Fix
- HD footage looks washed out
- How to segment rail out of the shot
- Still need to figure out image morphing
