From the "Lupine the Third Cagliostro's Castle" "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" to "Ponyo on the Cliff" "Wind Standing", the characters of 11 feature films made by Hayao Miyazaki are plus Alpha in the same world Fan movies to be united likeTribute to Hayao Miyazaki"Was published more than a year ago. Skillfully made images have become popular works that will be played 3 million times, but I have revealed the details of how I made this, after dono's creator, one year has elapsed.

Go through the tunnel ... ....


Yuya "Oil shop" which is the stage of "Spirited Away of Spirit" was reached.


In front of an oil shop there is Chihiro and Kaonashi appearance.


Although it seems that they are talking about something, the camera does not stay there, slowly watching the state while going on to the next scene.


Theta is falling in front of Pasu.


As soon as the power of the flying stones disappeared, Theta's weight was restored. I'd like to watch over whether Pasu can be helped properly, but next time.


Moros and suns are on the cliffs, and even the kodama people.


In addition, May is playing with Totoro.


So far is the work for each piece, is it a video that links these materials together? It is a feeling, but from here it will start to mix more than one work. Polco is in the same store as a rat who was made a mouse.


Kiki flying near Holmes' house.


Laputa is flying far behind that Horikoshi Jiro stands.


Lupine & Goemon


Howl's castle crossing the mountain


Totoro will fly the sky with Mei and Satsuki.


May and Satsuki shout at Totoro 's imitation, flying over that flying boat of Polco.


Ponyo running in the sea near the oil shop. What is flying behind that ... ...


Haku and Chihiro.


Nausicaa's appearance as well.


Theta and Pasu passed flowers from robot soldiers.


Kiki will fly next to Howl and Sophie this time.


I was flying over the oil store. Everyone, including Chihiro, was gathering at the oil shop.


Many echoes were received in the image, and there were also many voices saying "I want you to tell me how I made it", so the making image was released in this way.

By saying "This is a making!", We will show off how uncanny it is made.


First of all, layout. Compared to the finished image, it was Tsuru in the oil shop, but first of all we will use the rough poly mesh model we created to create a layout of what kind of image to make.


At this point the characters are still trapped in the original video.


It is like this image putting a screen in front of an oil shop like this. Here, we will tailor the motion of the camera, the movement of the characters and the timing of the sound to be something that feels "pleasant".


Work isBlenderIt seems that it is very easy to look at Viewport.


Then edit it. I will connect scenes while checking with the sequencer's real-time preview.


"Spirited Away" followed by "Castle in the Sky". Here as well, the state that the main part image is placed on the rough poly mesh model which was still rough. You do not need to render at this point.


Step 3 is "rotoscoping".


Specify the outline of the character for each frame of video and cut it out.



This work can speed up by dividing each layer such as "right arm", "bangs" and so on, and that it can respond flexibly.



I was able to extract only characters from a series of images.


Step 4 is modeling and texturing. We have advanced the oil shops and so on of the stage with the low poly mesh so far.


However, switch to high poly mesh here and make a detail up.


At a stretch it became an atmosphere called "an oil shop!"


Texturing with BlenderGimpIt is said that it went by.



Step 5 is FX, effects. Fog and smoke are created by Blender's smoke modifier.


The sea where Ponyo was running is using ocean modifier and it is directly rendering with OpenGL.


In order to express waves, two kinds ofEXRI am using it.


Rendering in step 6 is GPU-based renderer ·OctaneRenderIn layers for each layer.


And the composite of the final step. Open source composite software ·NatronUse.


I will handle the light here and apply motion blur.


It is seen that processing is repeated at the end. Adjusted brightness ......


The characters are arranged ......


Dirt like feet dust is added.


Then, the light is slightly vague with the dust in the air.


One more step.


The low poly mesh at the time of the layout was a kore, but as if the final form is cut out it looks just like a scene of the main part.


Dono who produced the video seems to be doing CG jobs in freelance, and Blender uses it not only for these personal works but also for work. I love Miyazaki Hayao's director, but the reason I made this picture is "practice of modeling and texturing". However, Mr. dono who has built an oil shop in this way is feeling that it will make something further evolved.
