Graphical / Re: Question about background culling
« on: 2015-12-09 20:17:47 »
Hey! I just wanted to inform that messing around with Blender I was able to do exactly what I wanted using Blender and nothing else.
They key was to set the background as a textured plane facing the camera, with an exact size, and then create every object that can occlude the character by duplicating the plane, moving it closer to the camera, scaling it and then cutting it out.
It's cool because one of my main goals was to recreate the 3d space using just the picture and no additional info. It requires doing it by hand but it works pretty well just by using the picture, nothing else.
One of the things that made my so worried about the fact of just using the picture was for being able to extend it to real life pictures or drawings. Using this method you can also make a FF like scene from a real life picture.
I wanted to find a method not only to recreate FF but to also create FF like stuff. And at least for the scene reconstruction this suit my needs.
The whole process is explained in detail on my blog: http://namelivia.com/final-fantasy-vii-scene-reconstruction-using-blender-part-2/. However I'm considering making a video tutorial, because maybe my english writing skills are not that good and something it's not clear.
Thanks for helping me! Hope someone likes this or find it useful!
