some of my nuke

just a little bit of my nuclear explosion i finally got the morpher tool working so i though i'd upload a bit of what i got so far:

Animated Water

i decided to make a better water effect using a plane with a a few modifiers multiplied like poly select volume select relax and face extrude. then a noise modifier on top of them all

storyboards

this was my first storyboard then it branched i decided to change it because of the government adverts on burglars, "dont invite them in"



but then i decided not too and go with another way of tackling the concept of "we give the enemy the means to our own destruction"

i thought of it as i was playing an old game called worms, the 3d cartoon miniclips that are made inbetween show situations of utter stupidity and always have 1 worm doing something that gives the other worm (enemy) means to their destruction






its basicly one team of worms (team one) beat the other very badly and decide to rest. the last worm of the other team (team two) tries to think of a way to come back and take a win but cannot think of anything. The team two worm then decides to give up after much deliberation throw his munitions away and surrender. In a fit of rage he shouts I SURRENDER and throws a grenade (pin not pulled) into a group of trees. Little does he realise is that behind those trees is a cliff top with team one resting at the bottom with ALL of their munitions. The grenade then knocks a pice of TNT out of one of the barrels that is being stored at the camp and that TNT then rolls into the fire, ignites, explodes and detonates setting off every bit of explosive equipment in the base. If they werent so cocky and rested for the night they might not all have been blown away.

Smaller Explosion

This is an explosion. lol.

basicly im going to make a nuclear explosion in 3ds max but first i thought id take 5 minutes to make a smaller one. this is a tutorial i found on onitz.net and is also on youtube and it takes about 2 minutes to make

you get a sphere, a particle array and an atmosphere effect using a sphereGizmo.

you add the sphere object to the particle array and make the particles come from the object instead of generated by the array.

then add a fire effect using the sphere gizmo, and time the fire effect with the dispersion of particles using auto key on the timeline and voila, basic 2 minute explosion using only 3 tools?

win!

Kaboom!!!

1 problem i did have is when i would preview the animation the box would hit the light and it would shake but in the final render video above it just shakes like a gust of wind has blown it. probably because i created the animation when it didnt connect so when i corrected it and created the animation again it wouldnt work because its irreversible :(. but the reactor plane roof and spring attached to the light work so its a win for me!

Snakes and Ladders :)

Using reactor to roll dice, very simples!

Bouncing ball

my bouncing ball.

and the dice im going to animate using reactor ^
