Finaly started.
I'm gonna try to have my animations follow each others, so it makes one big animation. -

07 Aug 2006if anyone as a stick of dynamite, could you scan the label for me before you blow it up.
Ok here's an update I worked on the flame thanx to hype's technic, I just added a bend with a noise to make it shake, now I need to work on the particles.

07 Aug 2006thats quite cool, but imo, you should not use a mesh for that flame. i would do it withparticles, because with dynamite sticks, it burn in a really chaotic way, or you could add mre noise. how about making the wire fall like chunk of ash like cigarets?

Yes the flame is chaotic on a stick of dynamite a bit more then mine but I'm gonna add some particles, but the wire doesn't react like you say with ashes falling, it becomes red and twist. I have a good reference that I found on Google video.
I'm trying to get as close as possible to it with the bit of time I have, so of course I need to sacrifice here and there.

Ok I'm statisfied with this, I'll spend the rest of the time on the finish otherwise I will never finish.

10 Aug 2006Hey man,
Sorry I'm so late in responding....I haven't had much free time lately but now I've finally got a chance to drop in
Anywho....it's looking great! Love the little spark trail, and the coiling/twisting of the fuse is spot on.
The only thing that's catching my eye at the moment (and it's totally a minute thing) is that the little flame isn't casting any shadows. Since the flame is above the fuse, certainly directly below the fuse there'd be no shadows....but around it there's be all kinds of flickery, sharp, dark shadows being cast. Other than that it's looking great!
As for your noise question.....hehe...I had that same problem with my flame for the lip sync test I just posted the other day. Basically, if I understand your problem, you want something like this: a light with an intensity higher than zero (like 5), that flickers by a certain fact....but stays in the range of the inital value by that current factor as well...in other words, if you were to put a noise of .25 on that light, it would range in values from 4.75 to 5.25...but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that using the defualt noise controller, correct?
Well the solution I had was to create 2 lights. One has the inital value (let's say 5), and the other one flickers more or less by a certain factor to compensate (so you'd give the other one a noise float with a noise intensity of .25 above or below zero). That should do exactly what you want (and it worked in my scene too)
Hope that helps! -

12 Aug 2006Ok here's the final
http://www.arlutik.com/TEMP/Final.mov
I know everyone is expecting a "KABOOM" but it's not over I decided to have all my animations be part of one big animation so see this as scene 1, air elemental will be scene 2. -
12 Aug 2006wow...air and dynamite?
Can't wait to see what you have in mind
-
