Roberto,
can i please have the balloon?
Thanks
Does it have to be falling, or can it be a slo-mo pin prick like in a lot of the reference videos you linked to?
Roberto, I tried to import balloon.obj file but it didn’t import in 3ds max9 and giving me error.
plz someone else Max user confirm it?
Roberto Would you allow for two entry: Becoz as always i am thinking to do two type of entry. one High speed balloon burst shot and one with commision entry ( if i will get time I will got with live action footage for commision shot.)
Roberto, when i imported this file in max,balloon mesh made of every single poly which aren’t connected. can u post in any other format like .3ds? that would be fine. i will use this balloon mesh for commision shot for a falling balloon.
Confirmed, using Maya’s import OBJ to bring in water ballon, didn’t work. Trying to see if any of the other file formats work.
Hi Guys finally done!
