A bit more on the ink in water animation – a scene and explanation

admin — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:53:53 +0000

Some people have been asking me about that scene, so here it is.

The way its done is:

do the FumeFX sim. Look at my setup for a start point
make a Particle Flow , use the FumeFX birth and follow nodes to make particles dance with the sim
use Krakatoa to render. Partition a lot to get a smooth effect
blur slightly in post to blend them in

That’s it! Any questions – write below

Turns out radial glass break-in is quite easy to do with Rayfire and some additional steps. Might make a tutorial some day.

Creeping cracks effect

admin — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 09:31:58 +0000

I started making the chimney demolition scene for the blur challenge, and I developed a creeping cracks effect, which I’ve wanted to do for some time. I used Rayfire and Thinking particles, which gave me the possibility to make it quite flexible. I paint the main crack with Rayfire’s draw fragment, then create a spline over it, and drive particles along it. I create the secondary fractures with Rayfire too, then use TP’s object as particles to make the closest ones to the central crack recess most, and the farthest to recess least. I create the crumbling pieces with size based on distance to the central crack too, which is cool Enjoy!

A different take on the welder

admin — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 23:08:12 +0000

Another shot at that – lots of sparks, better comp, etc. I aimed to make that more cool then realistic.
