Tutorial 35: Simulating Helium Neon Laser Holograms (HeNe)
The simplest form of 3D laser holograms are considered to be HeNe Laser Holograms. (Not to be confused with defraction foils)
Science plays a big part on computer graphics as you all know very well, but to what degree do you study your art? Here is a greaat example of pushing the ‘thought’ envelope so that your work can eventually stand in a slightly brighter spotlight. More detail, or even concept, can lead to better results. This quicktime video will need to be viewed in quicktime 7 on Mac or PC. It uses the H264 codec. Watch this video if you want to learn how to perform cool effects inside of Fusion 5 AND Shake 4. Again, we are simulating Laser Light from a Laboratory enviroment to display a true 3d holographic feel.
