Hasta La Motion!

1) wen i use fill object it doesn’t fill the whole model, it fills it in parts, no matter wat i do with the resolution(500) or number of particles(8000000) it stays tat way. I even tried decreasing the scale but then it doesn’t fill the object at all.

2)another thing i tried was to fill the object in Maya & then import it in Realflow & then create a mesh but then wat happens is it takes hell lot of a time to create the mesh & the created mesh in no way happens to fill the human body it bcums much larger than the model. which still can be handled to an extent if i get to create the mesh tat stays inside the model.

Please any kind of help wud be appreciated. I am trying to get the effect of the torch man from the fantastic 4. Suggestions welcomed.

Thanks.

I have an issue here about Camera lens ,I have jvc HD handy cam with 58mm 1/4-inch Image Sensor and mount 0.43x fish eye to my camera my Question is how can I match a Focal length to maya camera ? I only knew that maya camera is use base on films size but I don’t know how to convert these handy cam lens to perfectly match maya camera.It would be grate if you show the way to calculate it.

Thank you

Software I know: Photoshop,Maya,3dsmax,Realflow,Fusion,PFTrack and plugins for maya like BlastCode.

I am Pretty good at producing realistic renders and strong eye for compositing huge number of render layers and also an intermediate at fluid simulations in realflow and tracking in PF Track…

What sort of VFX demoreels will land us a job.

First off… a non-technical critique… I didn’t realize that the ancient Greeks had electric hair shears on board their fishing boats to keep their hair nicely cropped to a military buzz cut.

I don’t know what they were thinking, but Perseus looked soooo out of place in that movie. He looked like a Marine in a skirt the whole time. At least Harry Hamlin had the epic locks to back up his character back in the ’81 original.

Now on to the 3D… ugh…

The movie was originally shot in 2D and then retrofitted to be 3D. It shows!

Maybe it was the theater I saw the movie at, but I swear, the ‘3D’ of the characters looked as if they took it into After Effects, duplicated the foreground layer, moved it back slightly in z-space and then said "look… it’s 3D."

Early on, there was a helicopter shot over some mountains that also screamed 2.5D flat layers in a 3D space.

The various ‘sparkly’ shots such as the first shot of Zeus up on Mount Olympus looked like an ad for GenArts Sapphire plug-in presets.

Not to completely dig on them… I did think some of the shots of Hades materializing were pretty well done.

However, the very first time we see Hades when he’s looking down at the fishing boat I could’ve sworn that it was Kevin Nealon in a Hades outfit instead of Ralph Fiennes!

What did you guys think?

Watching the making of I’ve noticed that on the set there are really few (orange!?) markers for 2D tracking… someone has the slight idea of the reason why?

Look at this picture for example:
