Chris,
I tried the suggestions you made, and I noticed that the noise in the transparency channel isnt providing the “liquidy” distortion that im looking for. The noise is only turning the sphere black and white.
Should I be using AE to generate a displacement map? I just used the basic noise that comes with C4D.
Another thing I was thinking about…. what if I just create a water/liquid shader, and then apply that to the sphere. Then add some luminance, and glow? Just an idea.
I havent had much experience playing around with C4D shaders, so you’ll have to excuse my lack of understanding.

Wow. Sounds like ill be able to do this in C4D afterall, which is the way I wanted to do it.
I am using version 9.1.
The only thing I might have trouble with, is the wiping upward effect of the shield rising upward. Im guessing that will have to be done using the alpha channel with a gradient. Correct?
Im also assuming I could export just the shield (multipass) into AE to use certain glow and shine plugins to get the effect im after.
This is all new to me, so this will probably take some time to get it to look as good as the video does.

I am using AE 6 Pro. It said “This aep was created using AE 6.5 on a MAC. Time to upgrade!”

The file would not open. It said it was created on a MAC, and I forgot to mention im on a PC.

I’ll take a look at that file the_harryjf. Thanks
Could this kind of effect rendered in AE be placed on a sphere object in 3D? (such as C4D). That way I wouldnt have to do any tracking.

I was reading a few online walk-thru’s explaining matchmoving and I didnt realize how hard it was going to be. Perhaps im looking at it the wrong way. I just figured it was going to be “somewhat” simple to add my 3d ship, and then have a program do all the hard work for me…. then again, ive never done anything like this before.
I do however, have some quick footage of a aerial shot, (plane flying over land) and I was thinking about using it to practice with. Perhaps maybe add my ship or just throw in something simple to get the hang of it.
I think I might need to read up on this subject so that I understand how it works. Im still alittle confused.
