In these strange Covid19 times, I wanted to pimp the visual aspect of the MS Teams and Zoom meetings I typically sit through these days.
Using OBSstudio and a kinect2, you can use custom videos as a greenkey background for all your videoconf stuff (through virtualcam) which makes for more interesting eyecandy than your usual static boring backgrounds.
Through modelling, animation and rendering with #B3D Blender (fantastic program, love EEVEE btw) and the use of several movie 3D assets, I created a video that should look familiar to anyone that visited the VRT site once and it certainly is a very familiar sight for my working colleagues. Ofcourse, I also learned a thing or two about blender along the way ;-).
At the same time it is also a nice roundup of several SciFi movies that will always keep me inspired….. Can you guess all the moviereferences ?
In the end, I also added a bit of sound effects to a couple of the smaller videofragments through premiere. It’s quite clear that these SFX give the videos some real “ooomph” ;-).
