My Carrarators Movie entry , first scene clip.
Hey guys,
I just thought I would post this video of my first clip of my movie entry, it is a little rough but I am learning lots. I haven't really done much with the particle emitter before , it was a little frustrating at times but I managed to get some okay results. I used the emitter for the starfield background (converted it to jpeg at rendertime) and the contrails for the 2nd ship. I also used motion paths for the second ship were on the first one I keyframed it, the motion path worked out a lot nicer and is pretty good once you get used to moving the nodes around.
Anyways , hopefully some of you animators here are working on your entries.

Cool! At least 1:34 to go! :)
Yeah, I have yet to try motion paths either. It's certainly on my list of 'want to try' features along with many others. Isn't the particles system fun? It's really amazing what can be done with that thing... so many possibilities!
Hey Dart,
To get through my whole movie script it will probably 6 more minutes which is a little crazy, we will see how it goes though. I have to next learn how to shoot lasers and do a good looking explosion, I will see if the particle emitter and I get along well enough to complete that task.:-)
If it is a fiery explosion, don't forget light effects such as lens flares, 3D light spheres, etc.
It is a fiery explosion outside Earth's atmosphere and yes this explosion should have all the bells and whistles . ;-)
