jetplane - HELP

and the animation file:

(scale and shadows need work)

Luminance won't light things up without Radiosity, I'd put some lights in there too.

Nice model, btw.

[station75]

thx model is nice with that light but when You look at the mesh is hmm... tragic... i don't have time to model it right.

but i want to get effects sht like warm air above the road in warm day. and i don't know how to do it.

[knight42]

From what people have said before about heat-shimmering it's best done as a post effect, otherwise you'd probably have to use a transparent object which would slow rendering down.

Someone else will now correct me. :)

[station75]

:( i don't have software like AE to do this in posteffect, :((
and i'try with transparent object (+emitter) and effect is much worse than without this...

Marcin - don't know if they sell this magazine where you are, but the next issue of Digit will include a full particle app called Particle Illusion LE which might help you with your project

You can't expect to be doing 3D animation without a compositing app. I always tell people that if they want to get into 3D animation they should get and learn a 2D animation package first. It's simply essential.

To the main question, I think you should try using a combination of volumetric and visible lights for the engine blast. Nice job so far, looking good. :thumbsup:

i know AE nad Premiere - i can use it - but i don't have it - now i'm working as freelancer (since 2 years) and i don't have money for all soft i want to have :) - so i ask You to simulate this effect in cinema

thx i'll try the volumetrics light.

i live in Poland and sometimes polish version of papers like Digit doesn't include full version :( but thx for help both of You.

'powodzenia' - that's cool sebek :D

[flingster]

two parallel lights.....high brightness and custom colours...visible and noise....soft shadows...works a treat.
:thumbsup:

[station75]

filngster like You wish :)

To create the heat distortion use a plane with 100% invisible material, high defraction, and no specular. Give it a Bhodunut Noise bumpmap, stretched in the Y direction, and animate the noise. Add a compositing tag and uncheck cast and receive shadows. You might also want to put the bump in a fusion and use a falloff mask.

AdamT is a cool idea
i'll try it later, but now i must go back to work :(

thx all of You for help.

[station75]

I found the best solution of my problem (thx AdamT), a long time ago on CD Treff i found a sample scene that show how to simulate warm air. You need 3 objects:
- Metaballs
- emitter
- sphere

and material - look some post before AdamT describe that material.

put the emitter belowe metaballs and sphere below emitter, assign material to metaballs and animate.

it produce the best (i think) effect in the shortes time (of course i used the volumetric lights and glow materials too).

now i'm rendering the animation so when finish it i'll post it.

cheers

here the final effects:

[squidinc]

cool :thumbsup: that;s a pretty convincing heat effect, I'll have to remember that one, nice work :)

one thing though, how are the wings attached to the ships?

[AdamT]

That came out very nicely! :thumbsup:

[station75]

squidinc: the ship is still WIP - so wing are 'disconnected' - i haven't time to correct that :)

i think that some work on metalballs properties will enhanced possibilty of that effect. thx everyone for help.

Hi Station 75, do yo hav a small demo file or a driect link to the tutorial on C4d Treff?


Thanks

Whoopee! You rock! :buttrock:
