  • Make object consist out of light

    Posted by Lars Janssen on July 19, 2015 at 3:43 pm

    I wanted to create something for a little project I’m working on. for this project I need to make an object consist out of light, like it’s seen in harry potter and the deathly hallows part 1. the patronum spell. If somebody could help me out with this I would be very thankful.

    That is a part of what I’m looking for, but in the movie you can see the light shifting through the object and you can see through it. this is more specific what I’m looking for. Should I make an animated texture for that. make an animated noise in after effects for example? how would I go about that for light? If you could help me out with that, that would be great. here is the sequence of the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fgreHrqjcI

    That’s some kind of particle and gas rendering effect. I think it would require a plugin to do it in Cinema. Maybe possible in AE with FORM?

    I have some basic knowledge about form. mostly about creating particle fields in 3d space. how should I create some kind of light like that? And for the cinema 4d side of thing. I have a plugin called turbulence FD for creating smoke and fire and that sort of things. Or should I use something like realflow to do it. are these kind of things maybe more suitable in 3ds max. my plans this vacation included getting started in 3ds max(again). If so. what Should I do to get this effect in 3ds max?
