I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

  1. Maybe you should have had some reflections on the table. Like the reflections of the candles in the background.

  2. this is great! Admittedly the track isn't perfect, but that could be tweaked if necessary :D I think you lost something in colour correction though, the fortress before was closer to photorealism in my opinion, maybe if you corrected the background footage instead? Awesome work though, inspired me to give it a try! :)

      Color-correction is such a strange idea to me.  I mean, what if the incorrect looking color was really the actual color of the real thing?

       You don't need a tutorial.
      Just track it, put the object on the ground, and then make a new render layer with solid black background, solid reflective plane, and have the object (with its visibility hidden for that render layer), so you get ONLY the reflection. Then screen or multiply it over in post before you put the object on the background.

      • Hey!! Thanks for your answer,, in this case I'm going to reflex the object on the background  but what about if my object is a mirror or metallic and I want to see the environment reflecting my object..
        Thanks Again !!

  3. Impossible! The sliding inner roof elements would intersect with the inner corner towers.

    Hehe this reminds me of that mobile castle in Final Fantasy 3! Except those gears had a monster clogging them up:) All you need now is a Chocobo to run out of it once it's fully expanded!
