3ds max on a mac

Posted in: 3DS Max

Hi all

Newbie here. Am I correct in saying there is not a Mac specific version of this and it can only be run on a Mac with something like a Windows partition?

On a slightly different topic how does it compare to Maya/does it compliment it well?

Thanks

Bicubic deform of a projected card

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry

Hi, I need to deform, in a bicubic way, a card with a projection in it. The problem is that once the projection is done moving the bicubic handles in the card doesnt change the UV’s. I’ve tried with a trilinear but it doesnt work like bicubics. Any idea how to do it?

Thanks!

Centurion – Community Critique & Review

Starring: Michael Fassbender, Olga Kurylenko, Dominic West, Noel Clarke
Directed by: Neil Marshall
Produced by: Francois Ivernel, Cameron McCracken, Christian Colson

Plot Outline:

Fight or Die

CENTURION is set during the war between Roman soldiers and Pict tribesmen during the 2nd century Roman conquest of Britain. Michael Fassbender stars as Quintus Dias, Roman centurion and son of a legendary gladiator who leads a group of soldiers on a raid of a Pict camp to rescue a captured general (Dominic West). The son of the Pict leader is murdered during the raid, and the Romans find themselves hunted by a seemingly unstoppable group of the Pict’s most vicious and skilled warriors, led by a beautiful and deadly tracker (Olga Kurylenko), and hell bent on revenge.

Centurion seems to have been well received….lots of fight scenes and garish blood spiced up with a terrifically staged ambush-with-rolling-
fireballs that seems to have ticked all the boxes.An Epic without the Epic
budget of Gladiator some may say. A distinctive visual experience that makes for a very strong anti-war statement even though it is gratuitously violent at the same time.

What’s your take on this film? Agree, Disagree or just plain indifferent?

Matte Painting for a Web Series

Posted in: Work in Progress (WiP)

This was the first concept- There is a small town to the left of the image. This will be an establishing show. I also have some paintings that are closer to the town but I’m still working on them but will post as soon as they’ve been finished. www.westernxtheshow.com

I’m leaning towards this one. It needs some more work but it’s getting there.

This is a small video of where I utilized a couple other matte paintings within the series. In this video I actually built a model for the mountain scene.

This is actually a promo vid for the premiere. The reason I post this is because of the opening shot, at the very beginning the main character is walking over the dunes everything else around him was the model.

Auto-keyframe masks in CS5

Posted in: Adobe After Effects

I’ve been using After Effects since v. 3 and I don’t know how many hundreds of times I’ve moved masks only to discover that I didn’t key the first frame. Every other package autokeys… I heard a rumor it was finally coming to CS5, but I can’t find it anywhere. Does anyone know how to turn it on? I can’t find a preference or setting, though of course it could be in the .prefs file…

Thanks in advance!

Shameful plea

Posted in: Matchmoving Software

After endlessly trying to solve this shot and resisting punching a nice big whole in my innocent monitor, I’ve decided I need some help with this one.

I’ve tried constraints, solving in sections, manual tracking and abusing my computer and none of it seems to be giving me a decent solution. Basically the camera drops down and then rises again.

The footage is attached, if people could have a look at it or even have a crack at it would be much appreciated. (The premise of the story is that time has stopped (minus the main characters) and I need to place chess pieces in the air as the table had been flipped when time stopped.)

Ps- I’m using PFTrack.
