Water, Fire and Smoke Effects Using Particles and Opacity Ma  By vertextemplates Rate It  | Review Water, Fire and Smoke Effects Using Particles and Opacity Maps Learn how to use particles and Opacity maps to create smoke, fire or water using 3d studio max First we need some particles. In general, start by creating a super spray particle system. Then start changing parameters. Both Off-Axis and Off-Plane spreads should be numbers between 10-20. This will let the particles spread out a bit after they're launched from the emitter. Adjust the particle rate and speed for whatever effect you're trying to achieve. Rushing water is fast, smoke is slow, fire somewhere in between. Remember to add some variation.    Hits:2921    Rate:  5.0(out of 5)    Vote:4   Submit Date :2006-03-31   Rate It   |  Error   |  Review

Sparks Effect  By the3dstudio Rate It  | Review Sparks Effect A very detailed 55 page tutorial on creating sparks for animation, using the "SuperSpray" particle system, as well as "Gravity" and "Deflector" spacewarps and "Video Post" to add glow effects. Aimed at beginners and people with little knowledge of 3dmax or particles. Lots of pictures are included.    Hits:898    Rate:  0.0(out of 5)    Vote:0   Submit Date :2006-03-31   Rate It   |  Error   |  Review

BlobMesh: Simulating Water  By xedium3d Rate It  | Review BlobMesh: Simulating Water This tutorial shows you how to take advantage of BlobMesh to create some very neat water effects. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use BlobMesh, or metaballs as they are commonly called, to make a fountain of water. BlobMesh is a new feature of 3ds max 6 that's essentially metaballs. Metaballs are lots of sphere-like objects, but when you put them close together, they will join together. Example: if two blobs of water a floating together in space and they get near each other, they will merge into one blob. Of course, real water would be attracted to each other, but that is not simulated very well here.    Hits:891    Rate:  0.0(out of 5)    Vote:0   Submit Date :2006-03-31   Rate It   |  Error   |  Review

Giving Depth To Footage  By the3dstudio

Giving Depth To Footage Lets say you wanted to make an explosion, blowing an object up and making debris fly at the screen, of course rather than using CG fire which a lot of the time looks, well... CG. You might want to use stock footage, video footage of fire which you can overlay into your 3D scene making the explosion look a lot more realistic.    Hits:360    Rate:  0.0(out of 5)    Vote:0   Submit Date :2006-03-31   Rate It   |  Error   |  Review
