WWII,depth charges!

[byvfx]

im actually working on some depth charge explosions.. i will post at some point.

[Bruno Avellar]

cool. I used some simple effects to simulate them: -Omni lights blinking when the DC explode
-Particle systems
-A sphere that grows, simulating the blast radius, and then fades, with a explosion texture.
-A mesh bomb to destroy the DC object, scattering small pieces of the DC.


I still need a host to the animation. It is currently in the 5th version, now with motion blur, camera shake, and multiple DC backgropund explosions.

http://video.google.com is excellent, but it takes a while for them to verify it...about a day or so, so uploads arent immediate. once they are up though, its great! putfile is also a possibility.
isnt there a very similar tutorial in the 3dsmax6/7/8 reference? im almost sure there is! maybe you can get some tips from there?

[Bruno Avellar]

thanks man! I'm going to host it there, and then post it here.

yeah i would to check out your animation

[Bruno Avellar]

My first try to upload the animation (11MB) was useless. It took almost two hours to get to 7MB, and then, the upload failed. (600k connection).

yes, there is a similar tutorial, but my scene was made in a diferent way, and I didn't use any of the models used in the tutorial; anyway, they are, to a certain point, similar.

skip the submarine sound
skip the camera shakes(?) when the bombs explode
skip the sub fliping around when the bombs explode

re-think the explotions..

mmm... ok, the sound isnt very good yet, and I thnik I overdid the sub shake (but in reality it shakes). About the camera, I shaked it to improve the feeling, but if you have a suggestion I'd be glad to implement it.
