Show your 3D special effects!

You made the HDRI tests? I swear by god I've seen those before! I like the freaky girl too.

I do a lot in 3ds Max, but not as much character work as I'd like. Mostly it's mechanical animations and prototype desgn work for corporations. But it's all fun stuff! Good work, man!

i think its good, but mybe the texture didnt look alot like ice freeze.. i donno..
mybe the texture is correct but i feel theres something not right on the way it looks...
what do u guys think?

That's pretty good, what programs did you use?

aaronv2 · Post by **aaronv2** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 4:02 am

thats pretty damn good apart from lighting and improoving the texture... one question though... you have some sort of animated clip map and then an animated depth map what do you use the depth map for?

Job · Post by **Job** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 8:27 am

naflish, thx, the texture is indeed not the best, it needs let's nor ad less blue..

DEDFX: it's made with Icarus- free for tracking, blender-free for modelling, effects, and Final Cut Express, video editor to slap everything together/ on top of eachother.

Aaronv2: that's not a depth map, everything that white is ice and evrything black isn't. so it shows the ice becomes thicker.

Some shots from a fan film I was working on years ago. All the 3D was done in Bryce:

Quick 1min video from last year with a little bit 'o 3D for the canon and resulting heavy laser fire:

Just some old messing around with match moving to put my daughter in the cockpit of a Battlestar Galactica Viper:

Part of a martial arts training DVD I produced a few years ago w/some bullet time effects and a bit of 3D:

Have fun.

Job- Is there any way you could supply us with Icarus. I've been searching all over for it, and can't find it anywhere, and I understood it to be a free application? If you can help, that'd be great!

Icarus can be found here http://files.filefront.com/Icarus_209/; ... einfo.html

DEDFX · Post by **DEDFX** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 1:24 am

rep22 · Post by **rep22** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 3:40 am

Nice shot there Job.
Is this something you're doing for the CGSociety FX War?

Clarence · Post by **Clarence** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 5:42 pm

Job, that was sick! From seeing that you used FCE, I'll guess that Icarus works on Macintosh...yay!

Never could get the hang of blender...

yep, how do you guess?

this is a test, so this technic will i be using for the final movie
(which is done with other blenderpeoples)
btw, i made a tut about it: http://www.elysiun.com/forum/viewtopic. ... highlight=

anyone else has to show something? it should'nt become a 'Job' thread

clarence: FCE has nothing to do with Icarus, and Icarus is for PC and mac. Just check the link above for the pc version.
something i totally not understand is why people think blender is hard, i'm almost wondering how easy it will be when i've got maya lol

I've been watching the war boards and forming my team.
We'll start posting next week.

Yeah, I posted four clips, but my timing was off. It was just a couple posts after yours and no one cares.

Great stuff you've got going. Keep up the great work!
