  • Best method to create 3D paths – Discuss

    Posted by Jay Brown on February 12, 2008 at 4:59 pm

    Hi

    The more I study this After fx lark the more demo’s/video’s/adverts I see that clearly have some sort of graphic, most of the time with an effect attached, flying around on a predefined path.

    I’ve seen loads of tutorials showing random flight of particles around 3d space but Ive seen little in the way of tutorials or people discussing this workflow.

    It strikes a little odd as its such a common theme in peoples work.

    Anyone fancy sharing their preferred workflow for this phenomena or point me in the direction of a site that will unlock these mysteries.

    Thanks in advance

    If you think that site is cool… ever heard of Video Copilot? 🙂

    John gave an extendend demo/tutorial concerning the spot that Dave mentioned. And the best news? He even recorded it!

    He doesn’t use any 3d motion paths, but it’s still good info.

    Do you have a specific example of what you’re going for?

    Yeah Video Copilot is a very good resource site indeed

    Id surprisingly not heard of Johns site b4

    This guy posted his demo reel on the cow a while back on a question about Echospace…..Ive been using it for inspiration

    I know its a combo of alot of hard work, not to mention echospace and particular …..but I think it is really tight and really like the control shown on the particle effect and the spiral of sunflowers.

    Theres tons more stuff I could reference but this is the level I am currently trying to achieve with my own work, and seems to encompass just where my learning is at.
