Plate : shot with a DJI Phantom 3 Pro
Matchmove and photogrammetry : Reality Capture, and I made a small Python script to convert the 451 registered camera (1 per frame), exported in a .csv file, into the path of 1 unique "render cam" into Nuke (and then exported it back as Alembic into Maya)
Modeling and Texturing of the Castle : Maya and Mari. It is not finished yet. This is more a proof of concept for the time being.
Cleaning of the plate and sky replacement : I have used Nuke, based on the camera movement exported from Reality Capture, and cleaned most of the plate (removing houses, antennas etc.) using cards and painting over them new vegetation from projections). For the closest buildings, I have made a forest based on 10 pines exported from SpeedTree and rendered in Maya with Arnold.
NEXT : I need to build a city, put 5000 soldiers and cavalry with cloud of dust, put some ships on the sea and splash sims... and why not Dragons !!
