Activity Forums Boris FX Particle Illusion Bullet Effect

    Hi
    Is there any way of me making a scene where you see the bullet in slow motion and the camera follows it, the bullet has a bullet trail effect just like they do in the Matrix?

    This effect requires 2 specific function of PI3 (byebye PI:SE), Super Emitter and Get color from background.

    The bullet was done in Lightwave.
    All other was done in PI.
    Rings emitter was modified to make the trail.

    Diony, the bullet-time.zip when I open it there is nothing on the screen, the emmiters on it are Fire Blast which I don’t have. Where do you get it? Thanks.

    Since it uses “get color from layer” for the particles, you need to load an image or movie or you won’t see anything.

    the effect still does not work, when I load it, it says the File E:/illusion3/bg.bmp was not found do you want to look for it YES/NO, if I click yes and open up a image it says ” The images for Layer : Layer 0 has been removed” when it loads there is nothing on the screen even when i press play, it is the same if I click NO. Is there any other way of creating a bullet with the trail effects in slow motion?

    Load your own image. Sounds like you need to study this page a little:

    If you use after effects, I cover this effect in my Creative Cow Master Series DVD, particleIllusion Fusion – Volume 1.

    http://www.creativecowtraining.net

    I basically use particles along with diplacement maps.

    Forgot to mention, if you watch my tutorials on diplacement maps (just click on my head to go there) they will give you an idea of how displacement works – I think this will really help you.
