  • I im currrently learning dynamite and hypervoxels in lightwave. Your work is excellent. I was just wondering how many emmiters? and what did you use for the sparks, and smoke? I study alot of scene files recently, and i was really curious how your set up works.

  • @caveman357 One emitter for fire, one for smoke, one for sparks. Fire is volume, smoke and sparks are sprites. You might search 'Flamethrower' on the Newtek forums for tips. But I suggest using the Turbulence 4D plugin instead of PFX and voxels which are not ideal for FX. 

  • Great lightwave stuff! Did you do THROW's character animation too? It's MOCAP, yes? no? Really liked your favorites too - EBN and Hausu. So where are you headed w. all this animation talent?? Movies? Commercials? Art? Other?. FYI - if you or anyone else needs digital versions of SPLIT, i have them now. chris

  • @shortshow Yes i keyframed the character animation by 'matchmoving' to actual footage, from Vertov's 1929 "Man with a Movie Camera" (search YT "Cinematic Orchestra Man w/ the Movie Camera 6a"... at 3:40). I've been doing vfx for movies and tv since '96, (old demo & other examples in my channel). Would luv a better version of Split. I st came across while managing video stores in the 80s. Was searching YT for a suitable trailer/clip to introduce friends & hopefully hook into wanting to see.
