Particle rocket fire?

[rusty]

Hi!

I know or think it’s possible to do a particle rocket flame in AM. Are there any tutorials or guides you can point me to?

Thanks!

Rusty

Hi Rusty!

"Rocket fire" can mean many thing. Many different things.

Can you show an example of what sort you mean?

There's a pretty good rocket flame done with streaks in this thread...

Look at the WMV later in the thread.

That's pretty good, John.!

I was able to get the AVI to play in Window Media Player if anyone is having trouble.

Hi!

Thanks john! What I was looking for is more like this. I tried this in AE but it doesn't look that good. Still working on it.

Happy New Year

Do you mean that what the AE tutorial showed wasn't good enough or that you couldn't get what he showed in the tutorial?

I got what the tut offered and adjusted it a bit. You see it in the first scene of the attached prototype (which is nothing to write home about yet ;-( ).

I don't visit here much as it's so hard to log in. No matter what I try I always have to go through the recover password. Anyway, I love a:m and use it often. My last post was pretty sorry so here's the prototype looking a little better. I'm thinking of redoing and recoloring the rocket exhaust and loosing the rings.

Edit: Rendering this to a mov file clocked in at 670 Mb. After uploading it to YouTube and downloading the mp4 file it was at 8mb! I cannot duplicate YouTube's compression in mp4 no matter what I try (I'm no expert lol).

The rings seem like a very specific effect that I think would confuse most viewers for outer space shots.

I'm going to guess that your browser is set to not take cookies from this site.

i never have to sign in when i come here unless i've intentionally logged out.

Rob,

It's completely consistent and cookies are on. I don't need cookies to remember a password. Every time my password is rejected and I have to recover my password to login. Very strange. I've been into AE too much and need to get back to A:M. I'll have a look at your tutorials Rob.

Cheers,

Rusty

 

Edit: I completely ditched the post ideas and started over.

@Jason Simonds

Jason, does the password problem Rusty describes in the above post sound like anything fixable?

@robcat2075 & @rusty I would have to know what web browser you are using. This is the first I have heard of that happening to anyone. But this weekend I can look into that. while I do the update.
