Creating Fireflies
Hey everyone. My buddy is doing a short student film and asked if I can help him with some effects. I've been working mostly with maya but this is something I've never done before in any 3D ap. I guess I'm choosing lightwave because of the cleaner interface and I know of some tools that may come in handy which I'm not aware of in Maya.
Anyway I'm not quite sure how to approach this situation. I guess it would be particle system some how. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

I think it would depend on how many fireflys you would want. You could use Hypervoxels in sprite mode.
Here's a VERY simple logo I made with this technique. http://bigdogvideos.com/movies/logo2a.mov If it's just a few fireflys, I'd do points, animate them, and make the texture the image you want, along with some luminosity to create the "firefly" effect. Hope that helps. Hoop

G'day Bendezium!
Someone asked the same question last week on another forum!

Goodluck! Cheers! priimate. |
