FXWARS: THE RACE! Mathew Foscarini

#101

Thanks guys,

Well, I won’t be doing any updates for the next deadline. I just started a new job here in Toronto as a TD for a studio. So I’m busy working 9-5 again. Which is great! :slight_smile:

I wish everyone luck. When I get a chance I’ll render out something special for the voting thread.

I’m not sure what I want to work on next. I’m thinking my website needs some updating, and then after that I’m feeling for some old school character animation. I don’t know at this point if I’ll do it in Maya or Max.

Anyway, I think the next FXWars sounds very interesting.

How did you accomplish the impression of rubber being layed down by the bike tires while braking. Really good animation btw…I especially liked the detailed facial expressions. :thumbsup:

This is a script which will create a spline from the motion of an object.

For the motorcycle skid marks I attached a dummy object to the bike located where the tire touches the road. Ran the above script which creates a spline. Created a new spline the width of the tire marks, and used loft to create the geometry of the skid mark.

Then I applied a slice modifier to the skid mark, and animated the slide modifier to follow the tire. As the slice modifier moved it created a glow skid mark. Get it?

The texture was done with a gradient map, some noise, and stretch acress the objects XY.

You can have my motorcycle rig. You need to attach the geometry of your motorcycle to the parts in the tree that sound like they match.

You will also need to install the PEN Attr holder 2.
