Particle animation

[lobsterman3000]

dang, wish it was longer...

[erudite1693]

how can i make the particles start at different frames like that?

[6dollarman]

@erudite1693 In the attribute editor click on the emitter node. Here under the basic emitter attributes you can key the emission at what ever you like by right clicking over the value and selecting set key.

I hope that helps.

Render time?

[6dollarman]

@Tutovillage Just a couple of minutes.



[Tutovillage]

[GamingAssaultSquad]

After Effects am I correct?

[6dollarman]

Maya

[coey64]

@GamingAssaultSquad

Haha after effects?

[ChewySatisfaction]

Wow, looks like an 80 nuke from orbit in cyberspace. I see them all the time.

[6dollarman]

All the time?

[ChewySatisfaction]

Lol, no not really. Maya you say, good stuff. The outer ones look like blobby surface partis.

[taken4time]

@6dollarman he meant like in the movies when a nuke or a massive economicly detrimental bomb explodes

[Reticences]

I flagged uABedoXuA's video too... He says it is HIS "new intro"! O.o

[6dollarman]

Thanks Reticences

[saderguy]

Oh yeah, and cool animation. I'm new to Blender and need this kind of encouragment :)

[saderguy]

uABedoXuA stole your animation?! He even put his name on it! This is what annoys me, he didn't even ask, he TOLD you that he was going to use it. Err.

[GreatSaradomin]

6dollarman, i also flagged

uABedoXuA video

[skull5005]

Hey 6dollarman, I have flagged uABedoXuA's video for copyright infringement, and I, being a fellow animator, will vouche for you if you need it. Hope it helps!

[6dollarman]

Thanks for your support skull5005.

I really appreciate it.

[uABedoXuA]

[6dollarman]

@uABedoXuA I have not given you permission to

use my creation. With out my permission you have stolen my work. You appear to have even taken credit for my work.

Please take it down.

Thank you 6dollarman

[uABedoXuA]

I will give you credits for making it and links back to your YT channel

[6dollarman]

GreatSaradomin...thanks for asking, Feel free to use it. Good luck with your video.

[rolkisssss]

wow

[bcallfree]

the big bang!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mallaien]

Its the Genesis wave from Star Trek

[xSwiissSkiillz]

What program is this??

[sajten]

READ COMMENTS NUUB!

[fanta10101]

ok cant wait to meet him

[RogueRover]

:D .....

[6dollarman]

Lots of questions. This was done in Maya 7.

It only took around a half an hour to do

All it is is particles generated from a scaled nurbs circle with a bunch of tweaking. Something like this could be pushed much further by adding alot of detail lacking in this. I really enjoyed your comments and hope to put up some more animations soon. Thanks, 6dollarman

[iIVIag1c]

hey did u make this with AAE ? or no

[barabolak]

how much time do you need to create this?

[dreamsofmishra]

Haha cheers :D

[dreamsofmishra]

"And it all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down~"

[MikeHornett]

Reminds me of Genesis on the Star Trek Movie.

[TheGtrMaster]

holy shit, kick ass. . .

hey i'm kinda a noob at open gl and I was wondering if you could get/write me some tutorials? If they use anything other than windows.h and gl.h then never mind

[Cambria123746]

avelx AMEN blender kicks ass

[armer106]

holy 30 min i thought it was done wit blender

[6dollarman]

Thank you 3rdman.

It did not take long...about 30 min.

It was done in Maya.

[3rdman]

amazing! any chance of getting hold of a tutorial to do this? im a newbie on particle effects, but i know my way around maya 8.5 really really grateful thanks!!!!!!!

[avelx]

WHY Maya, Blender is free and does more that what maya can do and easier!

[deamonrx]

call it freedom of choice

[Chrisiaut]

I wish that were true.. Im using blender for 3 years now and I am thinking of switching to maya... well I would if I could afford it ^^

maya is better... i mean the production quality

[avelx]

Im afraid your totally wrong. Have you seen the production quality I mean really, take a look at Big Buck Bunny and see the film they have created all and totally inside of Blender. You have no point in saying Maya has more. It is a total lie and with the added functionality you can do anything. I mean if you know how to use nodes in Blender you can make any texture you want. Also not to mention that Blender has the best UV mapping which is extremely important and you have yafray for more qulty.

[frahmed99]

you only have one renderer? maya has its own and if u want u have vray and maxwell

[mitcheawesome]

@avelx agreed Blender isnt anywhere near as good as maya, look today Avatar

[senantiasa]

@mitcheawesome So Avatar was created with Maya?? No wonder the movie cost $237 million... making it one of the most expensive movies ever...

[Metallica1guitar]

@avelx look at avatar and king kong, those films are made with autodesk maya, not with blender, with maya you can more than you think..

[avelx]

@Metallica1guitar The point is Blender can do those things. My point is that exposing the product will get more attention and attraction. So developers can start to feel confident using blender. The reason why films aren't being made is because look at the developer scale, Maya has hundreds of people developing one film. Now if blender has that you have the same results. Maya is brilliant but the price tag is over valued in my opinion. Look at the open Durian project! plus Blender 2.5!

[Metallica1guitar]

@avelx I agree that the price of maya is over valued, but i think that maya can do more things (not many) than blender ;)

[avelx]

@Metallica1guitar Yeah I would agree with that. Maya can do some stuff better but not to justify that price. But with a little more hard work I think Blender could get the same results. Plus I am not sure about this but does Maya have a sculpting mode like blender?

[Metallica1guitar]

@avelx I thought it, however, I encounter it often in tutorials. And if you know blender well, you can as lot of, yes (sorry for my bad English)

[senantiasa]

@Metallica1guitar Yes, and no wonder those two movies are two of the most expensive movies ever made. King Kong was $32 over the budget.

Maya has the sales and marketing army. And who's pushing Blender to the movie makers?? Only a foundation, donations and volunteers... This is why lots of movies are made with Maya, but it doesn't mean that it's better....

[senantiasa]

@senantiasa LOL!! I mean $32 million!

[reidvfx]

@avelx Well if you want to get in the industry you don't want to be learning Blender. Maya all the live long day

[gdennis1986]

@avelx is blender used in the professional industry for production output or is it mostly a self project type of program? because if so that's probably why

[avelx]

@gdennis1986 Blender is getting there but really the one that amazes me is houdini however maya is extemely powerful. And that comment I made was ages ago when I was all into the open source thing but today I relise that not every open source program can beat commercial. However Blender is extremely powerful and I dernt say that if you spent a little more time with blender you could get the results like a commercial app but yes maya is very good.

[gdennis1986]

@avelx lol oh.. i just realized how old that post was ha

[luigiiiii]

I guess that you can make the same thing in after effects.

[logitech4873]

LOL!

[3rdman]

beautiful and amazing how long did it take? what program did you use? thanks!
