Good evening or afternoon or morning depending where you are in the world :slight_smile: I have a bunch of really bad sunglasses reflections sent to me as VFX didn’t want them! Haha What do you guys tend to do? Some of these have pretty much every crew member and their dogs in them! Others have sh…

The definitive answer is: It Depends! I generally stabilize for the glasses (doing a planar track for the frames of the glasses and the areas of skin around usually works) and then once you have it stabilized you can paint/comp in over the areas that you need to remove. I’m guessing a desert envir…

I think these are going to have to be full on replacements. How can I create that warpy look of the lens? She moves around alot and I have it tracked I just need to warp it a little.

You can try a median blur. Should keep the motion of the reflections but make everything indistinguishable. :sunglasses:

Well, it depends. How do you have a tracked? As flat surfaces? As geo?

And do you have it Camera tracked, object tracked, or just surfaces?

At the moment I don’t have a camera track as luckily they are pretty much locked off. Just A tracer for the lens

@Ben had to a bunch these a little while ago and pretty straight forward once you get one of them working. first would be to do a 3d perspective track. expand out a matte of each lens bigger than the glass, blur the matte and multiply that back over the original matte so you’re left with a gradient …

Thanks for the tips guys, really appreciated! I actually did a slightly different method before o read this where I projected the reflection on to a curved surface, did a CC and a few keyframes to match the horizon level in the original. I then used a pixel spread to stretch the result lens, this …
