Hard Assets: More progress...test animation and cryptomattes

n this video we discuss some options in turning what we've done into something interesting. The discussion of Cinema goes for the first 5.5 minutes. After that I put the Cinema render into nuke and demonstrate the power of cryptomattes which
allows one to take an animation and put whatever background is desired. Finally at minute 10 or so I bring the "coin" into Houdini and mention what can be done there (I haven't explored that yet...the idea might be using both particles and perhaps
destruction?) Hopefully you'll see some of what I learned in working with these tools.
Note that all these tools have their strengths. Nuke is a compositing tool,, Cinema 4d is very versatile and while it isn't a VFX tool has a number of items like effecters, fields and forces that allow for a number of interesting things. Houdini shines in VFX but you can also do procedural models (ie. our "pot".)
