sweet tracking! -
08 Aug 2006basically all this is going to be is a kind of establishing type shot of a plane crash, those are bits of a boeing 767 smashed up on the side of that mountain. I've got a bit of painting to do yet, and some tweaking to the flames and smoke, but i'll get it up on here yet.

08 Aug 2006Update. I have been neglecting this one a bit because I was having troubles with the fluids stuff getting it to look right. But after alot of tweaking and slamming my face down, I think I have it in the neighborhood. With a couple more small tweaks to the dynamics and such, I think I'll be ready to render and comp this bad dawg and start on the next one. Yeah right, I'm scared i'll never finish this one.
Here's a link to an updated playblast,
and it wouldn't be an update without a slightly treated ROUGH composite.
You havent heard the last of me!!!!!!!!!!

08 Aug 2006Hey man,
Nice progress! One thing that still looks off to me though is the fact that the smoke is drifting straight up. Normally there are a lot of high winds on mountain peaks and such, and it would be nice to see some drifting
Hate to have to use this as a reference, but here's what I mean:

08 Aug 2006Dude, I am so on it already you never saw it comin...
You are absolutely right though, that has been the biggest problem with this simulation, having the fluids module interact with the dynamics one. They are two separate menu sets that are supposed to play nice. (getting the smoke to be all nice and tight down at the bottom and dissipate towards the top. I know exactly how to do it with particles, but I wanted to play around with fluids and learn how much pain they cause.
That's the one thing about fluids that sucks. Once you get things the way you want, it takes forever to build a preview, then when you dont get it right, it's all about, "im going to bed now, this is what the children shall eat tonight." But thanks for the input, I love every minute of it.
Είμαι sucker μιας αίγας σήμερα για την προσπάθεια να εξηγηθεί αυτό σε σας. Αυτή η αίγα δοκιμάζει του παλαιών τυριού και του παππού.

Crumbs~
