Mushroom cloud 3ds max tutorial 4/4

[TheBypasser]

Interesting enough, the mesh explosion tech is pretty usefull and can outrun particle effects in performance an even quality with ease. Atm working on my own implementation of one, the mushroom cloud looks pretty realistic by now along with the skirt and shock rings (to be improved though). The only tricky bit I'm experiencing so far is the dust wave that's just a pita to set up sometimes, also the "leg" for the aerial explosions is pretty tricky to get working properly.

[The3DBeast]

[MrJenniik]

[ericsantiago011]

your voice irrtate me.. but ur good..nice^^

[ThunderDonkey]

I followed your tutorial till part 2/4, animating it went to far for me..

Still thank you very much! By watching a part, pausing it and doing it yourself, makes me learn alot :)

(that Lathe modifier comes out so handy!!)

[filipp3d]

а в конце получилась какая-то хуйня непохожая на взрыв )))

[mgsfan318]

thanks, I finished no problems

[TheKaos90]

.... And if you manage to simulate the blast of the explosion with reactor or realflow , you got a Hiroshima re-enactment . Nice !

[Denusch]

good, but way to much effort for such a moderate effect.

[Florian96w]

How do you show the animation on 6:22??

[liammogford]

Im a games design student at Stafford uni and i loved this video. BUT just to be annoying i noticed in your final video that the fences dont have the right shadows. It gives the illusion that there off the floor. Why would this happen?

[redtec989]

Great vids!

[CoolExecutioner]

when i play the final bomb it loads every image separately. is there a way to make it just an animation or is my computer just slow? i got all the same settings for everything so its nothing wrong with any of that

[musicaddicted777]

holy shit man!!! u ruck at creating 3d stuffi wish i knew as much as you

[phoenixLK27]

it isnt rendering my entire animation. i have all the right settings and its only rendering a still frame.

[Tament13]

[Smenu10]

hey man could you help me ??? im having a bit of a prblem when rendering.... if i turn on the meshsmooth it will not animate!!! it will just be a image with camera shake effects...if i leave it turned off i can render and animate it but it will look like 2:42 on your video....its a great tutorial but i don't like that i spended 6 hours on this for nothing more than the knowledge....HELP ME PLS !!!!

[yotube155]

Smenu10, Go to the meshsmooth for the mushroom cloud and go to channel parameters and change the number next to "ist" to 1.

[Smenu10]

it is changed to 1 ...wierd thing is of i try to swap it and select 1 again from that list it says "can't use souce channel as target....wtf ??....anyway thx for the reply ...apreciate it

[whystherenousernames]

I've had exactly the same problem, fixed it by modifiying the line01 shape, dragging the meshsmooth over and above the morpher, if you get my meaning, it's in the selection box below the modifier drop down list, so it should be (at least for me), Meshsmooth, Morpher, Editable Poly, hope this helps.

[whystherenousernames]

above comment was for smenu10, you can see exactly what I mean at 5:21, also thanks for the tutorial =)

[downpp2255]

Thank you. Many great tips from this tutorial!

[blazelion3]

Thanks for this tutorial Very Helpful you have any more 3DS max tuts?

[ScaryWeegee]

If someone could make this for download with a texture in a .mesh file it'd be REALLY apreciated.

Just the mushroom cloud not the Sound FX

[AlikCw]

maybe stupid question. But where can I Download 3D max?

[SLOOM0]

mininova torent download

[moggo23]

thanks for this man, realy helped, took a couple of hours to get the finished product :P (did each step as you said it pausing the video every few seconds lol) but its done now :D ill put it in a video responce :P

[FSPilotsUK]

i watched 1-4 of this video for 4 hours (lol i know 4 hours) but it was worth it

[Cyphlix]

dont worry, it took me about the same first time I tried Julien's text tutorial~=6 hrs to make the video :P (kept trying to get it <10 mins so itd be a single video)

[FSPilotsUK]

if i gave you my email can you send yours to me so i can see what yours looks like compared to mine please

Thanks,

[RockGoth119]

Dude! You ROCK!!!

[plockbeto]

OMG that was awesome and really usefull!!!

[BadGirl4072]

aww, thanks for explaining to me eh :) but, um, whats a plugin? you see, i was using 3ds max 9 and i kinda mess up.. i suck, i know.. :(

[Cyphlix]

plugins are extra extensions to a program (ie, like realflow makes semi-realistic water effects that 3ds dosnt do by itself). you shouldnt need to worry about them for this tutorial ;)

[BadGirl4072]

aww, thanks so much! some reason, i am so into graphics design.. see, i tried to copy your tutorial but, when i got to 3 outta 4, i got stuck.. :P jaja. i suck

[tocxer]

awsome tutorial..beast

[coltblooded]

Thank you for posting this tutorial. It's very helpful, especially for beginners like me.

[asinyne]

Excellent, excellent tutorial. Thanks for posting this. Mine worked like a charm. I'll post mine on here eventually--with due credit, of course.

[FreeBasicTutorials]

thanks so much great tutorial and i learned a hell of a lot

[Saraha1337]

got a bit of a problem whenever i hit Meshsmooth my cloud smooths but it shows up at frame 0 as the full cloud so it looks like there isnt any animation going on, if u could help it would be much appeciated :)

[Cyphlix]

it sounds like a keyframing issue. try deleting all your keyframes, ensure autokey and set key are all turned off, apply mesh/turbo smooth then setup your animation

hope this helps

[kinasko]

@Saraha1337 i had the same problem and solved it by dragging the meshsmooth layer on top of the morper layer.. you know up in the actionbox in the right top corner of the screen.

thanks for a great tutorial Cyphlix! :)

[M1k3az]

@Saraha1337 i had the same issue but i had just just turned off the morph like the smooth. You should try click the light bulb next the the morph option on you original cloud>!

[moutapt]

that was awsome! you r so damn pro!

im not going to make something like that cause it's still a bit too advanced for me.

but we can see that u do know what u r doing, cause u do it so fast and so well.

great tutorial! thnx ;)

[BadGirl4072]

omg! im sure im like the only girl here but, you did so great! plus, not to sound bad but, ur voice sounds hot :)

[Cyphlix]

wow, thnx :)

[redfoxarts]

[JSGS90]

[CovertNinjaRobot]
