hi,

3d luts work fine in smoke (i guess from version6.5 up, not sure about linux)
you have to enter the path/name in the respective area in the init.cfg & youre fine
some samples are available on

yeah there are samples but they dont work out of the box… you have to modify them to get them working

you can do realistic snow in flame easy with the build in particle system

i can mail you 2 shots i did in flame if you want

they were only for showing our trainees how it can be done so it wasnt a real production
only stills with particle system applyed to it

i have my own ideas but i wanna know what you guys think is the best way to go about it.

i would track in a 3D head. you can explode the 3d head with your favourite 3d soft.

you have to replace or better dissolve the 3d head in at the start of the explosion.. i did a little test some months ago with a 3d tracker and cutted of a part of my head and it worked fine .. if you want i can send you the org. 3d and final shot as qt

I don’t know the effect you are talking about, but I have had a lot of luck using the Sapphire Lens spark to make various water effects…

i can send you a small QT if you want ! i still cant get the look i want…

i tried blurred particles with Lens spark but it doesnt looks the way i want… maybe i have to use a real Flow simulation to get it right…

but thx for the hints

[ivar]

why you didnt rotoscope around the part which should get a water type effect and then use a displacement filter with a rippling seq or a real water seq to get the intersecting part fluid ?

hope this helps if not try to use particles which looks like flames or smoke and use that as a displ. source for your rotoscoped area…

its easy you can track the smoke or flames to the persons and voiula done ….

did a similar effect for trainees here to show them, how to get that Lord of the rings ripple effect of frodo…

if you have question contact me and i can send you the footage layer by layer so you can look at it and study it 🙂

have a nice day

try http://ifx.com/

they are coding the piranha Compositing app. its looks similar to AE but has the OpenGL background you loved on the discreet systems

i think you can even download a eval. version of it

good luck and nice to see dudes moving to linux instead of windows 😀
