Hasta La Motion!

After 9 months development, Miarmy(called My Army or Miami) is coming.
Miarmy is a brand new Autodesk Maya plug-in set, focus on behavioral animation, crowd sims, physical sims, and Renderman render.

Hope you enjoy it!

The reason of our development is that we want to provide another solution which simpler and faster way to create crowd effect just inside of Maya itself.

Miarmy Engine is a tree-structural hierarchical priority decision node system, it can defuzz and create neural network automatically underground without user defining and knowing it.
Decision node, which contains inner priority ranking and fuzzy logic condition, is the unit in tree structure.
Decision node can make decision through condition.

So, no programming and node connection needed!!

Miarmy is not a particle system, we re-write all bone and animation nodes.
Miarmy take PhysX 3.0 integrated. It is diversity, extensible, efficient and promising.
Miarmy support FBIK, Human IK, and any one-bone-chain setup system.
Miarmy uses one-click rendering pipeline, get rid of advanced render setup, support Maya light and shader, etc. Based on 3delight API
Miarmy is based on Maya API, it’s easy for upgrading.

Massive Prime is better than Miarmy in:
Massive has more mature system channels and many presets.
Massive is more flexible in brain building
Massive has action and brain layer (Miarmy 1.5 will provide sub-agent to achieve this)
Massive has IK and RC curve
Massive can re-target to Motion Tree after physical sims turning on
Massive support fur rendering
Massive has parenting channel
Massive can spawn agents.
More!!

We have a long journey to go !!

friends and me shoot a short movie a while back. It ends with a locked off shot of a porsche exploding. We shot this live action on a Canon 5D mark II in 1080p HD. the shot is about 3-5 seconds long if memory serves.

We had our CG supe do the explosion but unfortunately the company went bankrupt and so this chance went away. Now I need somebody to finish this one shot for me.

Its a NON commercial product. Just some artists having fun. because of this there is NO budget to this. Its literally just a shot for your reel and a favor in my book. So yes, I am asking for free work on this one peace. I realize hor hypocritical this is as I normally deam work for free wrong. At least for a product that makes other people money.

details:
software: you can use whatever software you want.
format: HD 1080p
schedule: asap but really no deadline. I just want to get this done.
fee: none
bonus: demoreel shot, connections with PROFESSIONAL artist working on features and commercials in Los Angeles. We are not students.
quality:
The car is a porsche 911 S convertible (my baby). a model for the car can surely be found somewhere on the internet as obj. its carrera white so a shader should be easy. We did shoot a clean plate (haha how often do you ever read that??) for reflections but no HDRI. the explosions can be simple fireball with some debris pieces, smoke etc. you dont need to be able to composite this. I will do that. of course you can try if you like and if its good enough its done!

this is a good opportunity for a student to impress some already established artist. pros welcome of course.

But the face moves and also the camera. I tracked the axis of the bilinear image onto the face. Also I stabilized it. I created a mask to affect only a region of the video and this is also tracked to the face. I assigned a new axis over to the bilinear node to create an offset an positioned it where I would like this effect.

So when I try to animate the bilinear grid on my scaled image, the picture in the video moves (actress rotates head) and I would like the bilinear grid to follow it.

What´s a good approach for this?

Thanks.
