Smart Volume Meter is now working. Sorry for the trouble. If you find something not working please let me know. I was moving files to a new server and there might be some bugs because of that.

Thanks for your appreciation. Cheers!

Since Christmas are coming I thought it’s a good time to share some thoughts with you about making snow. What’s cool my newest experiment will show you how to make the snow stick to objects.

This sounds quite easy to do. Try creating a panoramic image with your digital camera, or a few still frames from your camcoder, just to have image wide enough not to see the repetitions. Then apply directional blur to the panorama and then apply the Offset filter and loop the keyframes. Try it out. You’ll know what I’m talking about.

WHen I’ll be ready to do another tutorial I’ll make sure to record a test footage for this. Maybe I’ll figure out some clever way to do it otherwise.

Btw… wouldn’t it be easier just to drive a few block in a car and record what’s outside a window?

Heres my text tutorial. Very easy and short, like a quick tip,
but still I think it might be useful for some of you guys.

Once again. It’s me. I see no one else writes in this thread anymore. Sad… snifff

Here is my next tutorial. Maybe not very exciting from a visual point of view,
but if you’re thinking about AE more like a video processing tool you’re gonna love this.

Hey hey hey! Guess what? I’ve got a new tutorial for you guys!
This time it’s a review of a FXhome MuzzlePlug along with a tutorial on how to
create your own 3D Muzzle Flash Generator.

I was even so crazy to include a pre-build 3D Muzzle Flash Generator so you
can start shooting aliens instantly.
