Meteor heat haze help
 

Hi guyz,

For the last few years ive played with lightwave..

90% of the time learning modeling..

This weekend i though i would play with layout and hypervoxels..


Anyhows ive 2 questions..

1 how would i add an heat haze around the main meteor to reflect the heat from it?

2 And how would i make the sea reflect the speed the meteor is passing by, disturbing it.

Many thx for any 1 with a little help or tip..

Imagebelow is my render up to now

This is something I'd like to know too.

BTW, cool idea.

Wow thats nice i GOTTA see the finished product, sadly i cant help you tho coz i really suck at the mo lol.

Anyway good luck, i'm sure someone will know.

Wow, really nice,,, hmm, i am thinking gradient with partical age right? hehe ok.:p As for the heat thing, all that came to my mind was point light with volumetric options. Good Luck, looks nice.

At www.worley.com check out the Taft Collection... It's priced at $199.00, but one of the plugings in this set is called "Heat Wave", and may be what you're looking for.

you can do this by using 2 plugins from Worley's Polk collection

www.worley.com

Acid will modify the surface properties of the water to make
it look like it's white and foamy. It can also fade out as the
meteor passes by and return to your regular water texture.

Poke will actually modify your water mesh and make it
dip down underneath the meteor. It can also return the
water mesh to it's normal position after a specified number
of frames.

take care

thx i will have to check em out

having a breathe from this project as it take 13 hours to render the 45 sec movie


maybe i will post the avi to see what u guyz think

Sweet! Can't wait for it :)
