I loved Davids animations ...I wanted to see more...congrats

A fairy tail sprite fountain....nice touch!

That was nice....festive ....could come in handy in the future..thanks

I hear Billy Crystals voice in my hear when watching...smile.....

Wow..Color me very impressed !!! love it !!

Always handy, thanks John .......

Love it ! always enjoy seeing new creatures done with AM..

John, that looks to be boxes with a mirror surface and some sort of mat effect or? just out of camera range ,maybe behind the camera..how far off am I..completely? Haven't looked at Prj. file yet, wanted to make a guess first.... Mike

Ok ?

Freaky John ....... not you but the effect .... like it !

Well I think I uploaded my entry to the FTP ...hope I did it correctly... Not exactly what I wanted to accomplish on the animation but was running short on time and wanted something to enter ...... I have enjoyed working on this for the contest, so thank you for having it ! Michael R Cossey

Rodney, I doubt that was me ...... maybe another Mike? I did some live action stuff, animation and stills ..... not sure about tutorials.......

Thought I'd post a challenge here to you John....or whomever... I've been trying to get this effect but on a grid not a sphere .....to be exact I want , lets say a grid representing a piece of cloth or paper then the MAt Effect to start in the middle creating a hole then the hole to expand and burn away like U seen in the planet burning effect ..... or for a real world example for us old folks who remember Bonanza the TV series , that intro where I think its a map being burnt, tho that one I think starts from the side......just wonder how good (or not) my memory is......off to Utube.... I can so far get the hole in there and it to expand but with no burning away effect. Thanks Mike C

Yes John, I also would like to take a look at the project too.... that looks very cool, it some how jumps out of the screen, at least to me.... I like how your mind works, or lets say tinkers.... Mike

Thanks Men, Think I'll try your trick Rodney if the current render looks funky to my eyes........nice idea too! Oh, I may have not been clear..I want a fast moving object in the scene to have MB ,but with test MB renders I seem? to get MB on my ocean movement which is moderate movement/motion..... Also rendering out separately is a good idea too, but never got comfortable with multi renders and compositing......that is, yet Thanks Mike C
