	New tutorial: new Star Trek transporter effect by Alan Lorence on Jun 5, 2009 at 11:26:40 pm Just uploaded this new tutorial on creating the transport effect from the new Star Trek movie using particleIllusion 3: http://www.wondertouch.com/default.asp?loadContent=vid_tut_star_trek_01.asp There are complete project files there too. Cool stuff. Let me know what you think. Alan. www.wondertouch.com Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: New tutorial: new Star Trek transporter effect by Graham Bernard on Jun 8, 2009 at 2:43:42 pm What do I think?!? OUTSTANDING! I'd have had the "Spinners" slightly more parallel and spaced out more and their numbers increase over time. But the way you did the PsP edit/erase/remove from some of the tails so that they would "appear" to go around AND then how you "tailored" this fabric to the body parts. WOW! I kept up with most of it, and I am always grateful when a real technician spends the time to impart theior knowledge this way. Yes I know you have a vested interest in Pi, but even still . . . Great stuff. Thanks .. Grazie Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: New tutorial: new Star Trek transporter effect by Lee Brennan on Jun 8, 2009 at 9:42:16 pm Hi, I am constantly amazed by how easy Particle Illusion is to use and at the same time how incredibly deep the program is. This is another example of that. It is such a fun program-Not many are. Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: New tutorial: new Star Trek transporter effect by Ra-ey Saleh on Jun 9, 2009 at 4:15:11 am Alan, I agree with the previous postees - excellent tutorial and shows some of the depths of the program. Have to say I actually hate effect in the film (though love the film!) and prefer the ones in the various series more, but this was an eye-opener. Thanks again.

	Re: New tutorial: new Star Trek transporter effect by Jack Evans on Jun 9, 2009 at 11:18:23 pm I was really impressed with this one. When I saw the movie, I assumed that they used a 3D effect, and it never even occurred to me that it could be done in PI. Major kudos and a high-five to you, sir. :) Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: New tutorial: new Star Trek transporter effect by Alan Lorence on Jun 9, 2009 at 11:56:53 pm Just to be clear, I'm sure it was done with 3D in the movie -- I'm just using pIllusion to recreate the effect. Alan. www.wondertouch.com Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: New tutorial: new Star Trek transporter effect by Jack Evans on Jun 11, 2009 at 10:57:47 pm Oh yeah, I understood that... I was sure it was a 3D effect in the movie. I was expressing my admiration for how well PI was able to replicate a complex effect so well. :) Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index
