Since everyone is so mad about the over-used matrix effect I figured I would do one more!

Haha.. And I'm aware of the sucky muzzle flash I did.

This is the file [840kb]

I think the shot would be 1,000,000 times better if you cut away as soon as the bullet 'hits' the camera. Then it would be fantastic!

Nice one

Try and do muzzle flashes in something like Photoshop if possible. That way you can get smoother edges and more control.

I was going to do them in combustion. But since I didn't care to use more then 15 minutes (including shooting) on this thing I just didn't care to

has anyone seen the second matrix? it's a good movie. I can't wait until the third one.

hanasand, liked the clip. What did you do the bullet in? 3D studio ?

Haven't seen Matrix 2 yet. Going to see it next week probably. It looks good and the reviews are good. Looking forward to it. If makes me smile like the lobby scene did when I saw the first film then it will be money well spent !

I was disappointed with The Matrix: Reloaded. I have so many grievances that I could sit here for an hour and type out everything... ARGH!!! Hopefully Revolutions will be better (but that wouldn't make sense now would it...).

Really nice effect. Agree with Ornsack about the cutting away and adding a flash

Did you model that bullit and cartrige yourself or did you download it from some where else.

either way is there any way that I could get my gruby little paws on it as 3D modeling is compleately beond me at present, and not that I want to copy youre stuff but..... I really want to copy stuff.

PS. this would only be for educational purposes only and I promise not to take any credit for it.

Matt: 3d Studio Max 5.0 all the way

Jack I've got a Lightwave model of a bullet if you want. It has the Hollow Point logo embossed on the back but you can remove easily. Again if you just want the shell casing thaat can be done.

Jack · Post by **Jack** » Fri May 23, 2003 3:52 pm

That would be great if you could e-mail it to me at jasqueal@hotmail.com
Would I need light wave to make it work?
and how can I get my hands on a copy of lightwave or 3Ds max?
remember Im talking no budget style.

I don't think Matt will like it if we talk too much about piracy software. Think he can get in trouble for that

Jack · Post by **Jack** » Sat May 24, 2003 11:35 am

I supose it was a bit stupid of me ask (soz matt)
but would it still be alright if you could e-mail me youre bullet, it would really help if you could.

Jack · Post by **Jack** » Sat May 24, 2003 12:27 pm

Now all I need to know is how to use it.
please help dude.

Post by **Matt** » Sat May 24, 2003 12:49 pm

hanasand, your right about pirate software. Obviously I can't stop people downloading stuff from iMesh, Kazaa, Directconnect, eDonkey etc but the forum can't support or encourage it.

Everyone must be responsable for aquiring their own software according to the relevant laws in their country.

As for tutorials, I haven't got any links at the moment but there are plenty out there on the net. I've found tutorials for 3D studio max using google etc. If anyone has got any good ones in their 'favourites' then post them here ...

Nicely worded reply dude.

matrix 2 was cr**, the start of it was like a dodgie porno movie........big disapointment....

as for the visual effects.......Oh My God!

dose any one have any vids of bullet time they made.... im talking spining around prople, i just want to see what they look like.

hanasand · Post by **hanasand** » Wed May 28, 2003 1:56 pm

I think you just didn't get it. Every single person Ive talked to that didn't like the movie had not understood the whole thing when I asked them to check..

Go here and maybe you'll understand how brilliant it is: Internet Movie Data Base, look up the matrix reloaded forum..

I can't remember who said this, may have been James Cameron, but I'm not sure. Anyway, it was a big Hollywood director or producer... He said that in order for people to think a sequel is as good as the original movie, it (the sequel) has to be twice as good as the original. Raised expectations and all that. I think he was right.

I just saw it and quite enjoyed it

I was a little distracted by the severe a*** pain I gained whilst sat in the worst cinema in Bristol but I still enjoyed it.

Loads of things annoyed me though, like the odd closeups which cut off their foreheads... And they way the whole cast pretty much wisper to each other all the time! Still, if I could do better I would

that clip was really good. i don't mean to be pickey but shell casings or spent brass should be the color of brass, kind of gold tinted, not shiny silver. Very good effect though, I know I wouldn't even know where to start when it comes to stuff like that so hats off to ya!
