Turbo Training Advanced
Visual Effects for 3Ds
MAX,
About 600MBs
If you’re
looking for training beyond
the basics, then the
Advanced Visual Effects DVD
is for you. This DVD volume
(part of the new Turbo
Training collection)
contains over 14 hours of
material from special
effects creator and Particle
Flow master Allan McKay.
Aimed at intermediate and
advanced users, the Advanced
Visual Effects DVD showcases
much of Allan’s talent and
techniques for producing
incredible animation using
3ds Max and the Particle
Flow particle system.
Starting with simple
examples, Allan works up to
more complex effects
including generating
procedural tornados and
volcanoes, as well as a drip
system that must be seen to
be believed. He also covers
topics including the use of
procedural materials,
reactor 2 physics basics.
Additionally, an entire
section is devoted to his
use of Autodesk Certified
Animation Plug-in AfterBurn
3, showing how he makes
believable explosions,
ground fog, clouds and more.
