"Street Fighter: The Later Years - Part 1" Visual Effects

[omar1146]

this is not street fighter, FAGGOT, this is fantastic 4

[Ghostlight]

@omar1146 Dhalsim is a character who can stretch his limbs way out like this, and he's from Street Fighter.

5 days for three seconds of film...

[ghostlightdigital]

@fastfox10 Oh, Visual Effects!

[Event0011]

5 fuckin days?! Wow....

[aleksdirector]

this is reely cool, but i think you should add shadow to the arm on the ground.

[ghostlightdigital]

A good idea, and we'd usually add as much light interaction as possible. However, looking at the actors standing in the reference takes, it seems that shadows from arm-height are so softened by the overcast day, that a ground shadow would hardly be noticeable. A reflection in the wet cement would be fun, too.

[aleksdirector]

What program do you use too track the camera?

[ghostlightdigital]

We use SynthEyes. It's fast, cheap, and solves shots other programs can't.

[spider853]

in what software did you make the rigging?

the problem is that I'm using 3ds max.. and I'm making a stretching bone and apply a skin modifier to a mesh with this bone, some vertexes are weighted... and when I'm stretching the bone the weighted vertexes are going in the opposite direction.

Any way to fix this?

[saromon1989]

Try XSI mod tool . It's simple .

[spider853]

Thanks

[9reasy5am]

left turn. otherwise, very interesting.

[Domytar]

nice one that was really interesting i'm an artist to but not a digital one cheers .

[bobslayer]

i would have just used an rubber arm with the hand attached to the pole - and then shot it backwards - as the car got far enough away from the pole the arm would have snapped off and towards the cab

it would have looked a little more ropey - but hey i could have shot it all in a lazy afternoon - can I make the next film for you - I am cheap!

[ghostlightdigital]

That would probably work well if the effect were broken into several shots. The problem here is they wanted to see the reeeeach, the grab, the swinging around the pole, and the release all in one shot. I love using backwards footage, though.

[FargoJ02]

Wow... you rock, dude! (^__^)

[thehymner]

damn, good work

[tristtheblister]

u gonna make any more parts

[Tubewings]

Cool, man!

[VagLigeiro]

Good work! Congratulations!

[nmcooper26]

Man this should like be on G4 or something, I bet they would buy into it. It already aired on Attack of the Show to show how funny it was. Get Capcom to License the characters and you got a show. I love it so far.

[ghostlightdigital]

It sounds expensive, but doable.

[JohanHeart]

Hey David!

I got a though one for you!

Can you create a raindrop falling from the sky. And can you make the raindrop transform into a phone? Remember that there's going to be more then one raindrop falling...

Hope you can pull this one of!

We only have 1GB of Ram here.  It's pretty slow.

[flavitoandresito]

Hi, one question...

Thank you!

[inferiuz]

I hope G4 or some other game network makes you guys famous. You guys deserve it.

[cheegum]

Awesome stuff! I was wondering what techniques you guys used to do that. Did you do Ryu's hadouken as well? Would love to see how that one was made

[jaul2]
