  • question about the disintegrating tutorial

    Posted by Marc Nibor on July 4, 2007 at 3:27 am

    hi,
    i was checking out elvis’s “disintegrating people” tutorial.
    it seems that the provided video (smokeyDissolve) is actually not the same material which is covered by the tutorial.

    does anyone know where the tutorial for “smokeyDissolve” is?
    or did i just miss something here ; ) ?

    thanks alot

    There is no smoky dissolve tutorial, because it’s basically the same technique. You know how to disintegrate someone, you know how to turn them into smoke. The major difference is rather than hiding the actor on one frame, I used After Effects to fade myself out for the smoke ones (and reversed the clip to pull myself together).

    The smokydissolve emitter is in the July 2006 library.

    Hi,
    thanks a lot for the info.
    …the “reversed the clip” portion was especially helpful.
    i’d probably spent hours trying to figure out how to do it inside PI ; )
