Great work, I especially like the Earth one.

I have a few projects that I'll probably never finish too.

Oh wow! Killer work dude!
You must finish the Audi. It's going to me amazing!

---

The audi is slick as, and the earth scene is great too. The interior could stand to be brighter, add some definite light sources to the room.

Nice work with all of it. Is one of those Fumefx?

yeah, that fire is FumeFX, i was just experimenting with it.
Great plugin, and really realistic results.

Yeah I thought that looked like fume fx. It is very good. kinda tricky but the results are incredibly realistic. Have you figured out how to use it?. I spent a few hours with it but only managed the basics. Need a good tut or something.

---

I wish fume fx used gpu processing. It's a perfect candidate.

---

i manage to do simple simulations, like that fire from render, but nothing complicated.
Great thing is that you can bind all of max's forces and Pflow on it and it works like a charm.
As said, it's little complicated to start with, but i think it's much more simpler and easyer to work wiht than afterburn.

I think they talk about that in the special edition features saying (very briefly) that it was done with sprite based particles. looks pretty damn good for sprites if thats true.

---

...With stock footage of flame for textures. Plus some touch ups in Discreet Flame 8. They never do anything with one program at that company.
But there's a challenge idea

---

Yeah compositing is always the thing that seals the deal. I'd love to have a go on a high end suite like inferno or something. The compositors at Animal had these darkened rooms with couches for directors to sit. treated like royalty and paid like them too.
If theres a job in CG that pays really well its that for sure.

---

Have you ever gotten your hands on Combustion or Shake?

---

combustion is cool, i played with it for a fiew days, demo version....

I taught combustion at Mad academy. I havent tried Shake I think its not being updated anymore and replaced by something else but I heard it was very good.
I use After effects at work but my favourite compositor is Digital fusion. it totally blows the other away being non linear. Its very pricey though and usually out of the budget for smaller studios. I don't mind After effects for some stuff but both After effects and combustion shit me off with everything being nested and in layers.
having to apply effects to each layer individually is a painfull drag when you have been used to a non linear workflow. fusion also has superior operators too, you can do almost everything within one colour correct node where as in combustion you have to use several effects to achieve the same result.

---

I'm sold. Digital Fusion is on my "to try" list.

---

Yeah man I think theres a new one coming out soon too from eyeon software.

---

Heres a link to the fusion website.
Seems theres a fusion 5 learning edition if you want to try it out.

Cool!

---

I can vouch for Fusion's awesomeness also.
