  • flight through clouds over a map just like a flight with a aeroplane

    Hi together
    my question:
    I want to fligh over a map for axample germany (psd file) – with the camera. One should have the impression, that there is a aeroplane witch is just comming down. My problem
    1. when the camera comes down the map will be not sharp but pixelated
    How can I avoid or minimize this problem ?
    2. How could I manage it to fly through some clouds ?
    Thanks for answering
    greetings from munich

    There are two options here I’d say.

    1. Make a HUGE pixelbased map in Photoshop.
    2. Make the map vectorbased in Illustrator

    2. How could I manage it to fly through some clouds ?
    This could be done with the clever partikles I’d say. Use Particular och Particle Illusion for best effect.

    Make sure to enable motion blur… when you get closer to the ground, it should help hide some of the resolution problems…

    On the Adobe Studio Exchange there was a comp set up using fractal noise. It looked really good. Takes a long time to render on a slow machine, but looks smashing. It was called night flight.
