In a recent episode of Daniel Batal's riveting live stream, the dynamic duo of Casey Ferris and Byron Brightman sparked a fiery discussion about the possibility of incorporating shot tracers akin to those found in golf videos. Brightman, with a glint of enthusiasm in his eye, challenged the team to bring this vision to life, igniting a flame of determination within Batal. Undeterred by the complexity of the task at hand, Batal delved into the heart of the matter by dissecting footage sourced from the esteemed Storyblocks.
With the precision of a seasoned marksman, Batal embarked on the intricate process of adding a shot tracer using a paint node, carefully plotting points along the ball's trajectory. The devil, as they say, lies in the details, and Batal spared no effort in sculpting a curved line to match Brightman's lofty expectations. As the shot tracer took shape, Batal encountered the challenge of imbuing it with a tapering effect, a task that required finesse and technical prowess in equal measure.
To inject a sense of depth and perspective into the shot tracer, Batal deftly employed a transform node, transforming the canvas into a visual spectacle reminiscent of a bowling alley view. With each adjustment and modification, Batal inched closer to realizing Brightman's vision, meticulously refining the shot tracer's appearance to mirror the graceful arc of a golf ball in flight. Through a series of calculated maneuvers involving tracker nodes and transform adjustments, Batal ensured that the shot tracer seamlessly followed the ball's trajectory, culminating in a triumphant display of precision and artistry on the digital canvas.
