I have created a video tutorial that demonstrates how to use the new ParticleCloud shader in Messiah 3. It goes for about 18 minutes and takes you from start to finish showing you every step of the way. Fori wrote the Particle Cloud shader specifically for us while we were working on Andy’s and it was the only way were were able to get the more complex flying sequences done for the show’s intro. I wish we had had it in some of the other aircraft shots we completed earlier in the production. But if/when we do episode 2, believe me. . . we will be using this shader a LOT.
Why is it cool? Well it renders clouds super super fast. Seconds for full HD clouds. Things (like airplanes) can fly through them, they show up in reflections, they cast all the normal array of shadows and as you will see, they are quite easy to set up.
The video is really choppy – is is my computer maybe? SO cool so far!
Yea, I built your computer. 700mhz Athlon. Good for most things but not for watching 800X600 Mpeg4 video. Sorry. We could probably upgrade it.
No worries! I am going to try and watch it on the school computer, especially since I have a couple frineds who love to see such things.
We may get an entire new one, one computer is not really enough around here. But my laptop is coming sometime.
We loved watching what we could though, I love seeing what and how you work.
Build me a computer too!!!
Very cool… can’t wait for my upgrade to test this stuff myself…
