Effects

Color patterns to Hair and Fur &Video in Max

-Controlling the color of the hair using textures. For example if you model out a tiger that needs stripes on the hair.
-The Hair will be controlled by a texture you can create.
-Putting video on an object through materials in 3D studio max.
-Putting video through a light like a movie projector in 3D studio max.
-Putting video in the background in 3D studio max.


Intro to hair and fur modifier

-Working with the hair and fur modifier and its properties
-Having the hair grow from specific polygons
-Animating growing hair
-Having hair grow along a spline
-Loading hair types
-Using the hair modifier to Referencing objects.
-Using dynamic object on hair.


Creating Grass with Particle Flow

-Creating Grass with Particle Flow
-Using particle flow to place random grass on an object
-Using paint particle to paint the grass where you want it.


Object Dissolving into particles

-Use Particle flow to create the particles
-UV Mapper to map texture on to the particles
-Use a deflector to make the particles disperse
-Use After Effects to composite the particles and object together


Disintegrating Object Extras

-Playing with the self illumination for the texture on the object
-Changing to a different object the particle system dissolves.
-Changing the UVW mapping to have different dissolve types.


Disintegrating Object into Particles

-Updated Tutorial 2-15-2010
-Disintegrating an object into particles using 3D studio max
-Particle Flow, with Multi Sub-object materials


Creating Cool Light/Glow Effects in 3D studio Max

-We will be using the Lens Effects and material IDs to create cool looking light and glow effects.


Glowing material and objects in 3D Studio Max

-First you will learn to create a glowing effect to a material on an object
-Second you will learn to create a glow effect on an object like a neon sign
-All this is done without video post.
-Going over: object ids, material ids, Effects (lens effect) glow


Person Disintegrating into Particles

-Creating an effect where a person dissolves into particles.
-We will be using 3d studio max Particle Flow to create a particle system.
-We will be using After Effects to composite the particle system and video together.


Cool Glowing Light Trail Effects in 3D Studio Max

-We will be using the really cool and Ky-Trail 3D Studio Max plug-in
-It creates a glowing light trail behind an object or light
-The Plug-in can be downloaded from: http://www.lastjedioutpost.ru/Plug-ins.htm
