In this tutorial I’ll explain how to get the best out of Revision FX: Twixtor, and what you should consider before shooting a footage that you plan to slow down. I’ll talk about whats best to do, when using a cheap camera and what problems might occur and how to fix them.

Shooting Your Footage

Using the keyframe data generated from the audio waveform, we’ll be connecting our Particular emitter to create a splashy particle animation. Enjoy!

A BIG Congratulations for the following winners!

• Kevin James from Gainesville, FL
• Mike Griggs, from Hassocks in West Sussex
• Dan Thompson from Bradford, England.

In the AE Part 1 of this 3 Part Series we will learn about The Foundry’s new CameraTracker, We’ll look at how it can be used to extract 3d data from shots, which can assist us in placing 3D assets into scenes. Additionally, we’ll cover how to use the AEtoC4D Script to export our 3D data to Cinema4D.

Now, last week we had studio demo reels, and while that is all well and good, a lot of us can’t relate. They use Flame, Nuke, and a lot of other high end equipment and software. Well, here are 32 demo reels from guys and gals just like us, who are still finding ways to make awe-inspiring artwork!

This tutorial is basically for those who love After Effects and want to learn a different compositing software. Well rounded people are in demand nowadays who can handle more than one kind of software. We will be going over the most basic workflow of Autodesk Combustion. This tutorial is made specifically aimed toward those who are comfortable with AE so we’ll go back and forth between the two.

In this step by step tutorial, you will learn how to take various elements from 3D into After Effects, using the Max2AE plug-in. These elements will include camera animation and helper objects, to use as particle emitters. You will use color adjustments to add realism to the 3D jet element. You will learn how to create contrail and exhaust particles using Trapcode Particular. You will also learn how to create 3D cloud layers in After Effects, to give a realistic flight movement.

In this tutorial, you’ll find everything you need to make a Stereoscopic 3D Video, I’ll explain how to make a 3D video with real camera footage or with 3D software (3Ds Max, Blender, Cinema 4D…)

Tutorial

Step 1

Open 3Ds max or any 3D software.

Relativity

Either of two theories developed by Albert Einstein…

The Special Theory of Relativity, which requires that the laws of physics shall be the same as seen by any two different observers in uniform relative motion, or The General Theory of Relativity, which considers observers with relative acceleration and leads to a theory of gravitation….
