    Extended Fractal Sun Turbulence Plugin

    in New Users

    Posted

    Hi - I created a model in v14 and opening it up in v15 and it says "Extended Fractal Sum Turbulence Plug-in" Missing - what folder do I look in? I looked in "Post Plug-ins", but the same plugins are both folders. Any suggestions would be great - I guess I could just open up the model in v14, but I want to do it the hard way. ;)

     

    Thanks,

    Eric

    Planet Blowing Up

    in Fire, Flame, Smoke and Explosions

    Posted

    If anyone else if having the problem I was of not having the "ExplodeRebuild Model" in the - plug-ins - wizards here is a link to the page that has the downloadable plug-ins

     

    http://sgross.com/plugins/index.html

     

    There are instructions on where to put the file - and I also had to restart the computer for it to show up in the wizard.

     

    My question is after you apply the wizard to a model, it creates a second "explodable" model. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, I am pulling the second "explodable" model into a chor and dragging over the timeline and nothing is happening? How do I set the model to explode?

     

    Thanks,

    Eric

    Planet Blowing Up

    John - the planet isn't too detailed, so that wouldn't be an issue - I could even use a pose slider to "break the planet up" to get it more exact - would you mind putting up the expl.mov project file so I could take a look at it - that is the exact explosion I am looking for. Thanks so much for your help... again. ;)

    Burst of light coming through window

    Hi - I am trying to get the effect of bright light bursting through a triangle shaped window - any suggestions - would I set the window transparency down and what type of light should I use. I have tried several things and can't seem to get the light concentrated or "glowing" through the window. Any suggestions would be appreciated. ;)

     

    Thanks - Eric

    Fluids

    Robcat - it was odd - I created a square in the first frame and streched it a bit to fill the shape of the lower bottle then I had to copy it - then give the original a transparency of 30% - to do this I had to make it an object (and you cant' stretch an object unless to double click down to the original form - but when you do that - it will change the shape for all version of it). Then I would go to the next frame and paste - the non-object version of it (original) - and strech it a bit to show the fluid moving - then same thing copy it and create it into an object and transpency it. I had to do it over and over for each frame. I tried a motion tween, but it was very uncontrollable - I hope my description made sense to you - not sure it makes sense to me. ;)

    Simbiont Materials Plug-in

    Hi - I have been seaching the forum for materials trying to learn more about them. I see the following darksim link

     

    http://www.darksim.com/html/simbiontam.html

     

    How does this work - it says the Simbiont Plug-in is already in version 13... and up I am guessing.

     

    I just upgraded to the latest version - how do I know if I have the plug-in.

     

    Also, are the free materials they have on on the site applied like you would a regular material?

     

    Someone help me see the light, was a little iffy about downloading the plug-in, didn't know if it was just for an older version ;)

    Glowing planet effect?

    in New Users

    Posted

    Hi - I need to create a golden planet w/ a glow around it - for the planet I just used a sphere, and created a material for it - but I noticed the "glow" in the property attributes doesn't have any sub setting, there is just an off and on. Is there a combo of other property attributes that I can use to get the effect I am looking for - just a glow around the planet - thanks for any suggestions.

    Thanks everyone. Bighop - I tried a motion tween and it just wasn't controllable enough. I just started w/ a green square, stretched it and gave it a 30% transparency. Then I had to copy and paste it 120 times and modify for the 10 seconds. It was pretty laborous, but really the only way I could see of doing it. - E

    Just wanted to post the final mockup for anyone that cares. ;-) I was able to take the bottle created in AM and add the fluid in Flash - it didn't come out half bad - I had to modify the fluid graphic 120 time in every frame, and it came out with pretty good results - hopefully my client likes it. Looking forward to a future update to fluids in AM where you can have a sitting fluid. Thanks again for the help.
