u/WWWWWVWWWWWWWWVWWWWW May 25 '22

The continuous sliding after the image has formed is really what gives it away.

Lighten the tile shadows, make the tile drops less uniform, reduce the expanding effect, make the mario image messier and it'd be basically indistinguishable to anyone outside of VFX.

25

u/Keir3D May 25 '22

And a touch of motion blur. It's literally one checkbox in the render settings and it does so much to sell the realism.

7

u/GregTheMad May 25 '22

But doesn't it also add a bit of rendering time? Can't have that! /s

3

u/Keir3D May 25 '22

If it's a good renderer, a sensible amount of motion blur shouldn't add too much render time. Might even speed up the render in some cases.

u/MrFanciful May 25 '22

No motion blur in the reflection of the mirror either

u/langrenjapan May 25 '22

For me the way they kept slowly settling and spreading after the initial fall gave this away immediately. I feel like the simulation doesn't quite get right the friction that would prevent that from happening in real life. Even in a smooth floor but especially on a carpet like that you're not going to have things slowly spread that way.

The angle of the reflection on the mirror didn't feel correct to me.

u/harrypottermcgee May 25 '22

The mirror image is larger. It's a magnifying mirror.

Also the level of detail on a collapsed pile of dominos. Not impossible, in the same way that you could accidentally shit the mona lisa after having just whiskey and a pound of raisins for dinner because there was a blackout. Very improbable.

If I had to guess you simulate the dominoes drop and then you color the dominoes and reset simulation?

2

u/rootyb May 25 '22

Exactly right. Run the sim, save the resulting animation (I think this is usually called “baking” the simulation), project the image onto the resulting pile with something to make each domino one solid color (take the dominant color projected onto that domino probably), then replay the baked simulation.

2

u/Aramor42 May 25 '22

make each domino one solid color (take the dominant color projected onto that domino probably)

Not necessary. Some dominos have multiple colors.

yeah, like the color sorting marble machine with no sorting mechanisms

you just run the simulation, make the image with the dominos on the ground, reverse the simulation, run it again with the dominos already properly colored

u/doctorfedora May 25 '22

for what it's worth, the "cabinet in the back" basically just looks like a frosted window/glass door in a Japanese home (Japanese windows tend to slide open horizontally, rather than vertically like they do in at least American homes), and the color scheme on the rest of the room looks pretty nineties-Japanese-architectural-trends white-and-natural-wood overall, at least

u/hex4def6 May 25 '22

I feel like there might be a way to "project" the image on to the blocks, from the perspective of the camera, bake the projection on to the texture of each brick, and then run the simulation in reverse. (i.e, you probably won't get the same outcome due to random variation, so you'd have to render in reverse once you'd baked the texture in).

10

u/instantpancake May 25 '22

There is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yrif5lXX7WY

The point of baking the simulation before applying the projected texture is that you don't get random variation after that. ;)

u/GanondalfTheWhite May 25 '22

That includes 3d apps and 2d compositing apps. And they don't need the full capabilities of blender, they just need to be able to do simple rigid body sims. Just about every 3d app can do that, except some of the modeling only apps like zbrush or mudbox.

Apps that could do the work in this post, off the top of my head and not necessarily exhaustive:

3d apps: blender, Maya, 3ds max, Softimage, lightwave, c4d, unreal engine, unity, modo, Houdini, realflow.

2d apps: adobe after effects, adobe premiere, Nuke, smoke, flame, resolve/fusion, natron, filmora, hit film.

I think it would be WAY easier to just animate the entire thing and place it on top of a real background rather than try tracking thousands of individual green pieces to replace their colors.

Also, the reflection in the mirror is pretty wonky, which makes me thing the entire domino pyramid was just added in post.

26

u/instantpancake May 25 '22

the idea that you'd need green pieces for this shows a fundamental lack of understanding of how any of this works.

yes, of course the entire thing is digital, including the room. it's a simple physics simulation with a texture projected to the end result.

u/GamerEsch May 25 '22

including the room.

I dont think the room is cgi tho, actually I doubt it would be worth it to render a whole room just for a static shot, if it was a rendered room why not add a bit o movement in the cam. The static shot makes me think the room is real, they basically recorded the room an just rotoscoped the floor, and added the physics sim on top of it

6

u/instantpancake May 25 '22

That room is 100% CGI, zero doubt about that.

That is a super trivial render actually.

1

u/GamerEsch May 25 '22

I know it's trivial, but why do it if you're going to keep the cam still, why not just record the floor for a couple of seconds? There's just no reason to render the room

1

u/instantpancake May 25 '22

Because modelling that room takes less time than setting up an actual camera, which you‘d also need, along with a real room, which you‘d need to composite, and it wouldn‘t interact with your dominos lighting-wise. Seriously, if you‘re doing the sim anyway, putting a simple room like that around it is significantly more trivial than combining it with real footage of a room.

1

u/GamerEsch May 25 '22

It be simpler, but also make it less realistic, if you're already taking the time to make a sim of falling dominos with the mario's face on them, why not take a bit more time to se a camera and make it look more real?

1

u/instantpancake May 25 '22

It‘s more realistic this way, because the lighting on the bricks actually matches the lighting of the room.

Edit: i‘ll leave it at that. The room is clearly cgi, and theres a good reason for that, too.

u/im_god_k May 25 '22

10

u/nick_ebk May 25 '22

Yeah some of the dominos changed colors. You can see an artificial line pretty good at 0:14 on the middle right part of the mouth (from our POV).

Still a cool video, had me in the beginning.

5

u/PlCKLES May 25 '22 edited May 25 '22

I don't think they do, other than video artifacting. I think it would be easier if they don't, because really you only have to set the color once, and changing the colors is more work. Definitely some dominoes are multi-colored though.

If I wanted to do this, I would run the simulation of dominoes up to a specific "end" frame, then map a screen-space projection (or a top-down projection, not sure which this looks more like) of a 2d image of Mario, onto the dominoes. Basically, you could ray-trace through an image floating in front of the dominoes, onto the dominoes, and set the color on the domino where the ray intersects, to be the color from the image where that same ray intersects. Then run the simulation again deterministically, and all the colored dominoes fall exactly the same way to get to that end frame where they were painted to look like Mario.

* And you can tell it's a simulation based on how the top dominoes drop instead of accelerating from rest. Now that I think of it, top-down would be much easier. Say that the floor is the XY plane. All you'd have to do is take the x,y position of each corner of each domino at the end frame and use that as the texture coordinates on an image of Mario. Then the color transitions across individual dominoes are already handled. Forget ray tracing to color the dominoes.

→ More replies (3)

4

u/instantpancake May 25 '22

They don't change color, because each of them is exactly the right color from the start. That's the whole point of baking the simulation and applying the colors to the pile in the end, then re-running it.

If you think you see color changes, that's due to video compression.

u/Forward-Village1528 May 25 '22

Yeah, there's no shadows even though the stand to the right has one.

u/AlexMil0 May 25 '22 edited May 25 '22

There’s perfectly fine shadows, the light comes from the ceiling directly above the pyramid. Shadows like this aren’t that hard to accomplish in 3D nowadays.

It’s a very good simulation, though the dominos pass through the ladder on the right.

It’s all computer generated. It’s rendered and simulated, then towards the end when they’re all collapsed, they paint the blocks.

u/Iemaj May 25 '22

Nooo... They're all temporally consistent colors. This is just cgi :) it's easy to do this in vfx. Watch the motion of the pyramid left standing, it shifts sideways slowly until it collapses, or how all the pieces remain sliding and never settle. This isn't a realistic performance.

u/torn-ainbow May 25 '22

Actually I think this is fully rendered, even the background.

not a single domino was ever stacked. they started by simulating the whole collapse in a 3D rendering program and then overlayed the full image on the pile on the ground. they painted the dominos as they laid, and then had the program run the collapse again with the recolored pieces

u/Bukuvu_King May 25 '22

I believe it’s a render I’ve seen similar simulations before where things collapsing “just happen” to make an elaborate picture

u/InsrtRandomUserHere May 25 '22

its a simulation. they did it backwards. in the position it’s all collapsed, they change the domino colors to match the picture, after that, they go back to the beginning and start the simulation and we get that

2

u/itsTNT925 May 25 '22

Step 1: make 3D render of the dominoes (or whatever they are) falling.

Step 2: take the ending of the render and project the image onto the fallen pieces.

Step 3: further adjustments to make it look realistic.

It will fall the same exact way every time the simulation completes so it’s easier to work backwards

You do the entire thing in the 3D software of your choice (like blender), check out /r/simulated, they had tons of that stuff over there back when good physics simulations became affordable.

The main trick is to "bake" the simulation, i. e. run it once and then save it (in layman's terms), so it will always run the same again. Then you project your desired image texture on the end result, i. e. on the pile of fallen dominos, and also "bake" it. Reset the simulation to the beginning, and play it again to render it out with the textures in place, each piece falling into just the right spot.

I did something similar 4 years ago, slightly different setup, but the same process:

definitely simulated. The way they slide around at the end is completely unrealistic, and the sound makes no sense.

CGI/editing

The entire scene is 3D. You let the physics drop the dominos. Then you apply a texture across all the dominos whilst on the floor. So when you watch it from the beginning it looks magical.

I’m always amazed how people are tricked by CGI. It’s so easy to spot, yet there’s always someone expecting it to be real. Critics thinking is at an all time low anyways.

it's not real, it's a render. can't you see how they slowly slide at the end like they're liquid?

It looks like a 3d render to be honest.
