Element 3D & After Effects UFO Tutorial
Another fantastic Element 3D tutorial from Film Riot on how to create a classic UFO scene with Element 3D and composite it into a shot using After Effects.
The tutorial begins with 3D tracking the footage and tips on how to do that with tricky sky footage. They then explain how to create that classic UFO look, by modeling and texturing the UFO entirely in Element 3D.
The next steps involve getting the HDRI lighting right and then some novel ways of adding volumetric cloud and smoke effects to the composite.
Finally, the tutorial ends with some useful color correction tips.
