Video Clips into to 3dsmax Animations

[adyy]

I saw a video clip where a person was acting to drive a car in front of a green screen. The artist took this video clip, and managed to put it into a 3ds max model/animation of a car moving down the street--> it was an awesome effect.

this is a simple technique.

what you want with your robot it's a little bit more complicated. does it have internal geometry your robot?

are you saying you want to place your head/face inside the robot? so when its walking around/destroying things, your face will appear in a helmet of some sort? or do you want it to look like a first person perspective and we see what the robot is seeing? not sure what you want, either way its pretty easy to acheive it. also, i think you should've posted this in the 3dsmax forum, might've gotten more of a response.. ;)

This is not hard. Go RENDER->ENvironment Map, where it says [NONE] click it, and click bitmap. Browse to your .avi file. This makes it renderable.

Then activate the veiwport you wish to work in. Go to Veiw and find Veiwport Backround. Click FILE and find your .avi file. Be sure to click animate backround, and match render output. (resizes things)

Integrating 2d/3d, VERY tough art im trying to learn right now. IE making shadows, reflections, caustics interact with the 3d scene. Anyone know good tutorials there lemme know.
