Class Listing

Class 1: Silhouette Refresh, Part 1 – Paint

This first class will serve as a paint refresher including shot workflows using Sessions, updates and essential items regarding preferences for several window types and feature modules, how to extrapolate a track when using auto paint, a new way to lock layers, how to use mattes as holdouts for painting, the new Stabilization sub menu, Paint Presets, what to do when you forget to paint in the alpha, and regraining.

Class 2: Silhouette Refresh, Part 2 – Roto

This second part will be a refresh on Roto Preferences and selection tools for roto shapes, Auto Colour, how to roto for motion blur with the Roto Overlay tool, how to ensure motion blur on start and end frames, Reflect Shape, Roto Review, Templates, Compound Nodes and the Collect Files feature.

Class 3: Introduction to AI and Machine Learning Roto, Part 1

Dive into an exploration of the newer automatic matte creation tools, including ML workflows with Roto, EZ Mask, Mask ML and Face ML nodes, and propagation techniques with the Matte Assist ML node. In addition, we will cover how to use the Cryptomatte node to isolate shapes for special edge treatment options, including Matte Refine ML and Matte Repair.

Class 4: Introduction to AI and Machine Learning Roto, Part 2

This class covers ML matting for hard-surface objects, some prompting practice, and implementing two methods using the Motion Blur ML node to produce realistic motion blur with Optical Flow ML motion vectors.

Class 5: Beauty Work, Part 1

In Part 1, we devise a shot approach with precomps, learn how to use the unwarp/warp workflow with the Powermesh Warp node and a cleanplate to remove forehead creases. Plus, all matting will be machine-learning-based, using Mask ML in Mocha Pro and Face ML in Silhouette.

Class 6: Beauty Work, Part 2

In Part 2, we tackle targeted face slimming using the Morph node for shape-based warping and show how easy and flexible this feature is. A little touch-up paint, using both procedural and manual methods, wraps up this class.

Class 7: Beauty Work, Part 3

Part 3 uses the Inpaint node, Paint, tracking, and auto-paint to perform blemish removal in the most procedural way possible. Updated workflows with newer combinations of nodes greatly speed up the process.

Class 8: Beauty Work, Part 4

Part 4 brings it all together with the new, powerful Face ML and Cryptomatte nodes. The final composition is created, and the remaining tasks are completed, including selective colour correction, skin smoothing, teeth whitening, and other details.

Class 9: Soft Surface Plate Reconstruction, Part 1

Tackle the impossible shot with this two-part class on soft surface plate reconstruction. In the first class, we will learn to create an oversized cleanplate using the DOD node. Explore the new Photoshop brushes as well. Various tracking options will be explored before settling on Mocha Pro Powermesh.

Class 10: Soft Surface Plate Reconstruction, Part 2

In this part, one will learn how to incorporate Powermesh tracking in two separate workflows to composite the cleanplate. Then see how the new Remap Reference Frame tool lets you sync a painted frame that differs from the tracking start frame. Lots of practical troubleshooting help guide this shot to the finish line, including a tricky regrain.

Class 11: Camera Solve Intro with Roto and Paint

Using two shots, we’ll explore the integrated 3D tracking feature powered by SynthEyes.
Learn how to do a camera solve with the Syntheyes tracker in the 3D Scene node, how to create a card from points, and then how to convert a card to layers with two different options, how to use the data for roto shapes, and how to use the data for auto paint in two different shots. It’s a non-destructive workflow that allows the artist to paint on an unprojected image in a stabilised viewer.

Class 12: Camera Solve Plate Reconstruction

We will explore the second paint workflow for integrating 3D tracking. The Unproject/Reproject workflow will be constructed. Foreground objects will be restored using ML matting. We will gain additional experience using the Syntheyes Camera Solver in Silhouette to create a tracking solution for plate reconstruction.
