[WILDtreecko]

What did u use to make the water bending part of the video like the water flowing anyway tell me cuz i will need it this summer/next summer

[TheFXGuy]

@WILDtreecko Blender. Read the description before you ask questions por favor.

[doonee100]

you were kind of going to fast........ plz go slower......xD

[TheFXGuy]

@doonee100 Ha ha, sorry about that... Most of my tutorials are meant for users who have a fair knowledge of the programs, but I will make sure to keep that in mind.

The way I see it, the faster I talk, the more I can fit into YouTube's time limit.

[drammarah95]

which soft ware have u used i would like to learn it >>>

[TheFXGuy]

@drammarah95 The 3D program I used is called Blender and it's free. This is the old (in my opinion) crappy version, though, 2.49. 2.5 is much better.

The compositing program I used is called Adobe After Effects, but it costs around $800, I think. And the newer version (CS5, which is the only one I can find anywhere) is only 64 bit, so if you have a 32 bit computer, you can't use it. Sorry.

[drammarah95]

@TheFXGuy i dont really know much about my computer but where i liv we get these software for like just a few dollars not at hight prices ... can u teach me how to view .how much comp bits i hav so that i can easily get adobe after effect and make some thin similar coz this looks complicated .. but i want to do it

[TheFXGuy]

@drammarah95 try to Google how to tell if you have a 32 bit or 64 bit system.

I think you should learn a little more about computers before you start trying to use after effects.

[extraordinarykoalas]

in a torrent search engine search Adobe Master Collection CS5 and take one that is only a few KB and says Master Collection CS5 Sn + Crack or something like that and follow the instructions and it works perfectly.

[TheFXGuy]

@extraordinarykoalas HAX!!!

[extraordinarykoalas]

Search adobe Master Collection and find one tht says Master collection SN + Crack, and just do as it says and it works perfectly

[TheGreatFilmSchool]

@TripleAAADUDE i got mine for nine hundred dollars

[TheFXGuy]

@TheGreatFilmSchool I the whole CS4 for that much.

gotta love educational licenses.

[indayshelley]

@TripleAAADUDE try torrent. :D

[Slystriker007]

@TripleAAADUDE TORRENTS

[TheFXGuy]

@TripleAAADUDE U buy it, and yes, it's expensive. But I got a discount because I'm a student.

[VITKA00]

Wait wait wait wait how much does it cost????

[Bowskenarts]

@TheFXGuy what you mean is: u ripped it from the inet.

[TheFXGuy]

@Bowskenarts no, I mean I bought it.

[quickslaptv]

tooooo bad its not in sony vegas 9

[MiiikeeeHuuunt]

how do you make a normal and invisible map?

sorry if i posted this twice i don't see if it posted it the first time.

[thegreatmuffinqueens]

hey its kinda clever but i find it kinda ridiculous you used blender. it might make for a slightly better effect but in my tutorial i show a much easier way to do this effect quickly using only after effects

[TheFXGuy]

@thegreatmuffinqueens You're taking the effect at face value. Sure you can do it quicker in just AE, but if you have a complex shot and need the water to interact with stuff, this method is almost essential. I just show the technique and leave you to decide it's applications.

Plus blender is a lot more accurate.

[Blikkerscp]

ever since i got edicted 2 the show i've been talking and thinking nonsense. such as " what if people are benders but just dont relize it" or " what if i could figure out how to spit fire out of my hands? " now i relize those things are totally possible! i just need to learn how. id think the peoples who made the show relized how big it would become :D

[TheKiller1903]

Finally!!! i've been looking a tutorial for waterbending, Awesome tut.!!!!

[TheFXGuy]

@TheKiller1903 thnx. glad i could help.

[thegreatmuffinqueens]

@TheKiller1903 u shuld watch mine its easier and faster

[TheFXGuy]

@thegreatmuffinqueens Way to blatantly advertise for something that looks horrible.

[rzuhler]

You're going to be working for someone one day. Probably in Avatar 2 or 3. Go to China perhaps! There movies has stinky effects. They probably want you. they always have cool martial art movies just bad graphics and such. My mother watches them all the time so i know

[TheFXGuy]

@rzuhler thanks. means a lot.

[bolt342]

Thanks

[rzuhler]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've been looking for it to do my project. Now it can be done!

[TheFXGuy]

@rzuhler no problem.  what's your project about?

[rzuhler]

@TheFXGuy i'm doing a tai chi video and i want to demonstrate the ease and softness of the form by exemplifying how easily it can be done by manipulating water as an example; just like waterbending! Adults need encouragement and motivation too! they think it's so complicated to flow like wAter!

[KiLlA5321]

nice

[TheFXGuy]

@KiLlA5321 thnx
