Final Product What You'll Be Creating

This entry is part 1 of 2 in the series Pipboy Touch Screen

Pipboy Touch Screen

In Day 1 we’ll go over how to set up the shot to add a CG screen on a cell phone, GPS, or anything with a screen. It really looks cool when you do it on something portable though. We’re making a pipboy so we’ll go over how to mimick the pipboy look as far as style, color, and feel. So get ready to build build build!

    This is truly awesome

  • Konstantine

    This is very cool, but will you show in the next part of the lesson, how to track this pboy screen image to the the real screen like it was in th preview? Anyway thank a lot fraet tut

    • http://www.ricardojorge.net Ricardo Jorge

      Agreed. I would also like to know how you placed the image on the device so well. I wouldn’t be able to tell the image was placed there. Its very good

  • Mike

    Nice!

  • Anthony Breslin

    I love this game so much bro. This tutorial looks brilliant. Can’t wait.

    Thanks a bunch for this!!

  • Adam

    I haven’t watched the tut yet because I want to know if it is actually an interactive, working display, or is it timed? Looks awesome though!

    • Adam

      … it’s video… what do you mean “interactive?” It’s a shot composited into pre-filmed footage, and I would assume that the screen switch happens at a set interval. If you want interactivity, go to activetuts.

      • Adam

        That said though, it’s an awesome tutorial and I love the look. I may have color corrected the plate footage though, to give it a more fallout feel.

  • Andrew

    Great idea for a tutorial! Looks great and very professional. Looking forward to Day 2!

  • Kemet

    very useful….

  • http://www.tophateffects.com Ran Ben Avraham

    That was a very nice preview.
    I’ll watch the tutorial later.

    New Vegas is coming out this year cant wait :)

    Great Stuff!!

  • Jeff

    Very Cool! But, coming from a hardcore Fallout fan, this really should be on his wrist.

  • Loay Emad

    Thanks

  • Tam duong

    Hey, to fix your problem with the text tool, play around with the setting panel of the character box . It will set the default anchor point every time you make a new text later.

    Good post and straight to the point. I don’t know if this is actually the best place to ask but do you people have any ideea where to employ some professional writers? Thanks in advance :)

    This is Really awesome tut !

  • frankyframe

    720X540 = 4:3 ?
    you did not check the checkerbox and said: ” you see here, this is a 4:3 aspect ratio ”
    please do some research for that. This not true PAL or NTSC

  • Brian D

    For those of you looking how to track these elements…There is a great mocha tracking tut at creative cow. Mocha also lets you mask out where the guys thumb covers the screen.

  • js

    Is there a part three because part 2 does end rather abruptly??

    • JL

      this page only contains the videos of day 1, the third part you’re looking for is in day two :)

  • Reeks

    Awesome Parts 1 & 2, but where is part 3?? The effect of his thumb touching the screen. I thought only complete tutorials were supposed to be posted?? Kinda sux that I spent three hours getting only 75% done…

  • Zac

    haha i looked it up and March 15, 1945 was a thursday… so only off by one day… nice job :)
    (Oh yeah, awesome tut aswell ;) )
