Re: 3ds Max and Particle Flow (11 replies, posted in Off Topic)
Right. My bad. But yeah.There are a total of 2 lights illuminating the scene. Both are going thru the tunnel slightly before the camera.

Yeah, it figures you'd do a texture-based reply.
I'll wait and see what you come up with(if you have time), and work from that.
I did try to add lightning flares, but seeing as the texture is always facing the camera, there's no real depth(volumetrics) to help sell the effect either, I'm afraid.

Matt: That's... the gist of it, sure.

Also, Mike Shinoda did the soundtrack(with some help, obviously).

If I pump out one tutorial per month for tusplus, I might be able to afford this.

Re: What do you give a movie, walking in? (26 replies, posted in Off Topic)
After "Epic Movie", I learned, the hard way, that a trailer can be ever so deceiving. The trailer made the film(IMO, gents) look funny as hell. The trailer shots, however, were the only funny things about it, and put into context, not as much as the trailer led me to believe.
After that, I've pretty much gone into a film knowing as little as possible about it, or remembering watching the trailer, but not exactly what it was about.
Take "How to Train Your Dragon", for instance. I went in knowing NOTHING about it. I didn't even know the damn thing was animated(I'll have you know I pirated it, which explains the latter). All I had was a title.
I've since purchased it on blu-ray, and started my own little project to re-dub it, since my son wanted to see the Norwegian version of it, which sucks.
My point is, though, I try to go in knowing as little as possible, to ensure I won't be disappointed, but rather pleasantly surprised, or at least entertained.
It usually works.

Re: About Star Wars. And a girlfriend. (20 replies, posted in Off Topic)
It's not as much 'converting her to love SW' as it is 'hope she enjoys the films enough to sit thru them'. I really don't care about star wars anymore anyway.

Nor am I, it was her idea, but I'm not going to show her a damn fan-edit, no matter how much it improves the original.
It's like showing her Scary Movie, telling her it's Scream.

Re: About Star Wars. And a girlfriend. (20 replies, posted in Off Topic)
Yes, I got that, but I'm not going to the extreme levels of checking out Adywans edit, a revisited edit, or the phantom edits. It's the films as they are, or nothing.

Teague: Noted, but with the influence of Marcus' post.
Squiggly: As far as I'm concerned, there really only are 3 SW films, but if she's interested, those other 3 are her choice, not mine.
Liam: welcome, but... I don't know about that. She was already a keeper over a year ago

Re: THE LORD OF THE RINGS (304 replies, posted in Episodes)
Alright, I finally got thru them all. It took me close to 3 weeks, but I did it. It's nothing impressive, compared to the DiF fellowship, but still.
My hat goes off to Dorkman for not only not tapping out, but also, riding it out, with interesting things to say whenever he said it. Trey also gets a nod for not tapping out, but i didn't feel he was present as much as Dorkman.
I guess I'll have some more episode-related comments and quirks down the road, but for now, congrats guys. I really wish I didn't have kids so I could partake in it

Topic: About Star Wars. And a girlfriend. (20 replies, posted in Off Topic)
My girlfriend has decided she's gonna watch Star Wars, to once and for all properly understand all the damn puns, references, parodies and whatnots, and to.. well, have seen the films.
Problem is, I don't know which versions to show her.
Now, before y'all go "THEATRICAL VERSION ZOMG!", let's look at the subject here. My girlfriend was hesitant to watch the Back the Future trilogy, based on the fact that "they're old!". She was also drawing her "old" film experience based on "King Kong" (The ancient one), and not being apt in the film world, I suppose she automatically assumed all "old" films looked as terrible(now, not then). She was pleasantly surprised by the trilogy, though, and didn't mind the old vfx as much as I feared.
But SW is another bag. The theatrical versions, although superior, are aged, at least when you look at the vfx. I'm worried they might take her out of the experience and make her laugh or writhe in pain, instead of being taken into the story.
Also, note that the Blu-Ray versions were never even considered. It's the Theatrical DVD's, or the 2004 DVD's.

Re: #28 - Film vs Digital (62 replies, posted in Episodes)
Easier? The lack of hefty motion blur makes each frame easier, but it's also double the amount of frames(or 4 times, if shot in stereo, obviously), so it's still a hell of a lot more work.

Remember that a location you might find dull and boring, others might find memorable 
But hey, I'm not trying to be an ass here, so, never mind me
