hey,
has anyone hearf of FX lab?: www.fxhome.com i just brought it and its really good for colour correction, composoting, particles etc, they used it heavily on www.darkresurrection.com
just wondered as ive never heard anyone mention it

reminded me of a film that was on: "On The Lot", very similar re-watching it: http://www.thelot.com/episodes/?ep=2&vd=21 good job though

they all look great, but how are we supposed to download them?

yo should have a look at Ten minute film school on the Once upon a time in mexico dvd, i think it is that special feature or another making of on that dvd

nice liked it

ok so eight hours later and this is the two second clip <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iTwryG9fRR8"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.yo...

lol, yeah ive been looking for some tutorials for that, ill let you know if i find any, 2 hours later and the rendering has gone up by 10 frames, ill be here till midnight for a 1 second clip! lol

nice! yeah i agree with DEDFX, what texture did you use for the water? same, just downloaded it the other day, its so easy to use i spent four months trying to work out 3DS

this is on frame 8 of about thirty, i cut the animation down to about a second and it says its gonna take four hours

just done a fairly basic animation of a camera panning over an island zooming in a bit and in total its 3 seconds long, is it normal for its remaining time to render, to be over a day?

thanks so much! just what i was looking for! i wont be leaving the house for a few days now then! or maybe weeks

hey, has anyone got any good blender tutorials for basics. Ive looked some up but they all persume you have a knowledge of it. I searched for vids on youtube and got a good one but then the person that created it just thinks your an idiot...making a box man, which consits of 6 boxes and basically al...

get a warranty for a couple of years if you buy a plasma, had to get mine fixed three times in in two years, and the plasma at my work went again the other week!

so you think that it will work on greenscreen if the actor wears green trousers and another person is wearing greencontrolling the feet?

yeah

they should contain a certificate of authenticity and make sure that they have a good history

hey, i was watching blue peter the other day and they were in tokyo, theres this programme over there where they use these actors who act on a black screen in front of a live audience. they wear black trousers and have normal ones attached at the waste, and people also dressed in black are behind th...

great, i love reality T.V but make sure that it dosn't become a sitcom, we have a show like that in Britain called Peep Show. There must also be a reason why they are in the show, is one famous? their characters must be interesting if your going to make this with the basic plot, sounds good though

watch the french film Amelie, you could get some really good ideas, i.e buying an exact copy of someones shoes but in a smaller size, changing the lightbulbs so its a differant lighting, changing door handles around, re-arranging knifes and forks in the draw etc

lol, i think its cos if they are being x-rayed they'll look like real guns and they cant be arsed to deal with the commotion

i spray paint water pistols an hten touch them up with paint, they look pretty cool. Im from britai and i cant find any cheap guns, cheapest ones are from about a tenner to twenty pounds, i wanted to buy some from american ebay cos of the rates but they dont send overseas

Why somebody should write something that has already been written? i didnt ask anyone to re-write it, if they know the answer to my question they could copy or paste it or refer me to a tutorial,
thanks scott!

yeah i know, but ive asked on the forum cos i am stuck and i need help, whats the point in having the forums to help people when all they're told to do is to look at a tutorial,

yeah, i've read some tutorials but they all persume that you already know how to insert the picture. I did read one tutorial though when you press 'm' to get the materials window up and then you find the image or sumthing, but it dosn't work for me, plus the tutorial was sketchy.

hey, on 3dsm, how do you insert a picture onto a plane? and how do you create a model in polygon or mesh?
