He also put together a nice breakdown video showing how he accomplished the effects.

Jajajajajja!!!! very good job!
Wow !!! amazing !!
I really like it.
Congrats.
A little bit of camera movement and some tracking would have made it more impressive. The effects are nice though
Nice!
hahahahaha. if using Gi more better. but is a very cute clip +100
Nice FX ... but why using the tomato branch for a locked-off shot ? There's no camera tracking needed here ...
when he got hit it looked like he just lay down anyways great job!
WOOOW!!!...:-))) Great concept and realization!...Five stars!!!
how come you used "tomato branch" but... then again you didn't have anything to track... is there any features that you showed on this video that aren't in the regular blender?
Is it green screen or video footage mixed with cg?
Very nice effects, but really, why no camera movement? You could have done all this without tomato at all.
To all those who are asking why he used the tomato branch or if he used greenscreens... just watch the breakdown. It's all explained there.
I think it's really great work. You can always improve things but so far its really neat stuff.
yeah i watched it but i mean, there's no features that the "regular" blender version doesn't bring, so why use "tomato branch"...
he did state his reasons for using the tomato branch. Anyhow, this is neat. Though i have very little personal experience using Nuke, i,m liking the minor comparisons made with regards to the blender compositor. The results here are fantastic if not overall perfect.
Wow! Thanks for all of the positive comments, everyone!
For those of you asking why I used the tomato branch, it has improved movie clip libraries...especially in the node editor for reading in movies (There's a whole new node dedicated to "movie clip"). You CAN import movie clips, etc, into regular blender, but it just doesn't seem to run as fluidly.
@Magiciandude >>> exactly and very well said!...(and let me congratulate you on the result,once more...:-))
Ha meu filho, isso é Avata demais, tá muito louco. Parabéns!!!
