More F/X test-y stuff - or such... comments

The droid looks scared Zap...

Am I the only one who started expecting that dancing stormtrooper to start stripping?

glad to see Jar-jar falling down allot more. You should have re-rigged him and created a clip of you killing him in multiple ways in multiple settings.

"This is me killing Jar-jar in the bathroom"

"This is me killing Jar-jar outside the garage...with a CG wood chipper "

Just ideas.

Oh Matt if you only knew... I this glorious mocap of people getting shot from all directions. Mouhahaha. *cough* hahahaha.

This is in no way the final thing and I might not even use the Jar Jar sequence at all, who knows, it was just me being flippant. As if that ever happened before

Zap, the mocap that you're talking about - the "shot from all sides, fall on front left" or whatever it is called... Is it me, or does that look really silly? The biped dances around way too much. It looks rather comical. e-motek.com rules!

 

Yeah it does look rather comical, but think of Jar Jar mowed down by 20 stormtroopers? *mouhahahaha couch splutter*

Zap, The image based lighting is wonderful. I think you have a nice product there.

I am humbled by your abilities.

 

great work master-zap...will you ever have a text based tutorial on how to use this when ever you sell this plug-in?

 

It's really a shame that the plugin you're writing can't be used with Bryce. Since that's the only package I can really afford to use nowadays, I'm kinda stuck there.

I am mighty impressed with the technique. It truly integrates the 3d object into the film. Really cool stuff.

Is there any way to apply those techniques in programs outside of Max?

 

Jar-jar vs. all the Orcs and Uruk-hai at helms deep

As bad as the bedroom shot could be looked at as, I like teh way you showed the lights going off and how the droid model reacted to the individual lights going off.

Nicely done Zap

 

SOLD!!!!!!

When might this be available?

Moonz

 

Lol, the look on your face Zap when you turn off the lights is priceless.

 

Actually my droid and me in the . . . . is correct. You wouldn't say "here's a picture of I in the garden" you'd say "a picture of me", or my droid and me, etc.

Anyway, great as usual.

 

This is my droid and I killing Jar-jar by stomping on his head repeatidly

-Matt

 

What will the price for this be anyway?

Need any beta testers ??

 

He mentioned that fanfilm community members may get a discount, but he may have been nbeing tongue in cheek.

 

Excellent video!
You really are the master of fx. I can't wait to see your next Kid Wars.

All the best,
Neil / Pred

 

Hey Zap... taking any request?
really... I'm looking at the big picture... all the corpses of every FXers and you at the top... looking good

 

Truly outstanding.
You sounded like Dr Evil at times.
Should've said
"here's me and my friggin droid...."
it would've made my day.

 

I sure hope the plug-in is available soon!!!
~I mean once it's available then everyone would have awesome CGI in their movies!
...right?

 

Zap: presumably this will be for 3D Studio only?

RE: grammar: actually, Zap's grammar is more correct than some of yours'. "My droid and I" is not correct, because if you remove the droid, you get "I in the garden....I in the woods" etc. (Easiest way to remember when to use what pronoun.)

Grammatically speaking, it's Zap's construction that is correct.

Hey Zap...you think Uncle George has seen your work?

 

you think Uncle George has seen your work?

I doubt it, well maybe Kid Wars but I would be unsuprised if it turns out somethign of mine has been viewed from within the Lucas empire; actually I have the web logs to prove it has

(But maybe that was Ryan )

As for Grammar, I subscribe to the Zeb Machahan school of Grammar, with triple negations like "That ain't no life for no woman" or quintuple negation "Ain't gonna take no sh%t from nobody no more, no sir".

lol
Hey Zap so when can we expect the availability this plug-in? and for how much? Will you include a tutorial for us 3dmax beginners?
~Rory

 

Yeah, I already explained the grammar, then Matt went ahead and used "I" in the very next post!

 

not bad! I liked it.

just need to tweak your animating skills and you will be ready for the big time
