EP3 Space Battle FX Test

Heh, that's OK lol.

ANy updates Cryptite?

 

Hey criptyte, i dont need the music anymore, but could you export the 3ds files i requested then email them to me please. The only reason i can use sci-fi 3d is because i use Anim8or, not 3d max.

 

help I'm making a dogfight scene in 3ds max but dont know how to make the ship disapire when it is fired upon.

 

Please don't post the same question in several threads at a time. The mods could punish you for that.

I'm sure there are 3ds max forums on the net. Just try to search them in Google. If you're a beginner, they will help you learning the program and improving your abilities, like certain C4D forum did for me.

As said in the other thread, good luck with it.

 

Nice going man!Where did you get the coursant backgroud?

 

I'm not a max user, but I think i can answer your question anyway, key framing, if you just want it to go away, on let's say, frame 23 (totally random example), create a keyframe on frame 22 and 23, once you do that, move the object out from in front of the camera, it will just go away, perfectly clean. Course, if you don't know how to create keyframes, I can't help you, as I said, I'm not a max user

 

Been awhile eh?

Anyway, just thought i'd chime in and inform you fellers that I'm going to (and truly try to carry through with it, this time) remaster this trailer.

Basically, i'm gonna take all the stuff i've learned since that trailer and now, and apply it to basically make the trailer look waay better. With the compositing genius help of ye olde Pixelmagic, the trailer should end up looking more like I had intended it to in the beginning. Only now I think I can actually do it.

I'll keep you guys informed with sparkly screenshots and whatnot showing before and afters.

Here's to bringing an old thread back to life! *Raises mug*

 

Indeed. I've been following your WIP/Collaborative thread at CGtalk about your other project. Last I read the project was on a long hold or something? Am I right?>

 

Yeah, that's basically on indefinite hold. It was a cool idea at the time but I don't think i'll ever get around to it with CG projects and school these days. So I pulled the plug on it before I got too many people wanting to help. Gotta make sure I graduate college good stuff like that before I can go crazy again. :/

 

Hmm. What do you guys think. Remaster the trailer with just better effects or add some new camera angles. I have in mind some shots I think I wanna pull off that are pretty Battlestar Galactica-esque.

 

Do whatever you think you can do in the time you want to take to do it. If it would be nice to have new stuff but don't overload.

 

I hate BG camera work. Too shaky/zoomy.

 

Bah. I love it.

No statement could be more logical and true to me than that. I already have the first BG shot style done anyway,

 

Bourne Supremacy wishes it was Battlestar Galactica.

And yeah, i actually was checking in quite often on this, and i'm surprised and pleased to hear that we'll see a new and improved version.

 

Well, that's all well and good, but my opinions are more important than yours.

 

Disagree.

 

Agree to disagree.

 

So it's been a month. Any new news on this? Is it actually getting updated or are you going to continue to torture us?

 

I think he's working on another project at the moment

Oooooh, and I see that you changed your website host, Cryptite!

At last I'll be able to observe what you are working on... again...

 

Heh it's slowly moving along. Basically i've been agroed by school lately and this is my exams week. There're a couple new shots already done for the redo, but most of the work has yet to be done. I'll have alot of free time over x-mas break to work on it. Basically i'll just be rendering overnight while I work on ToD shots during the day . Anyway, I gotta fix my ftp.exe or something on my computer (keep getting access denied's ) before the latest render stuff works again.

But alas, yeah, new host and it's wonderful. I'll of course keep you guys posted.

Well I did recently slap out a half demo-reel for an interview i had this morning. I guess I could put it on my server, not that you guys would want to see it though...
