Great tutorial, but when i'm exporting the camera tracking from Boujou, I can't choose for After Effects (.ma). (only maya .ma) Do I need an extra plugin for this?

hello,
where can i find the project file?

hey andrew, i was wondering, since i really don't have access to the internet like i used to (I used to have your tutorials opened on the browser and watch them while i worked in after effects), maybe you could set an option to download your tutorials, and maybe in like an AVI format (my computer is funny with quicktime movies) thanks and nice tutorials.

thank u so much

Thank you!

very good

Thanks Andrew this tutorial is awsome

This is really helpful for me and my movie...

Great as always ! Thanks a lot, Andrew !!!

Great tutorial, but when i'm exporting the camera tracking from Boujou, I can't choose for After Effects (.ma). (only maya .ma) Do I need an extra plugin for this?

Lol

wow, that's awesome tutorial for 3d after effect,great, i love your voice, very stunning and sexy, great men

great job AK.
a quick tip! instead of making debris chunks again why not merge them from the previous max tutorial. saves time and they look the same as the explosion

Hello
Mr.Andrew Kramer
Tutorial full boujour ?

Well here's my meager attempt at this wonderful effect. Thank Andrew. You are the man.

So awesome... especially you laughing at the alien 'that was a terrible idea...'

Pogs ? we call them Flippo's in Holland.
Great tutorial Andrew, always with a sense of humor.
I'm gonna try and have some toast ejecting out of the crater, maybe with some eggs and bacon.

Thanks for the inspiration and guidance

R-CANE

I was watching your wonderful video, but it was twice as big as my monitor and I found myself having to use the slider to find your mouse.

How do I make your video smaller so I can see everything your doing on one screen without adjusting it constantly.

Best,
Susan

thanks for all these tutorials andrew,

This is brilliant Andrew, you are my idol in these sort of things!

Thanks a lot for this tutorial, particulary for make compositing find camera setting with Boujou, we learn a lot with you ;)

PS : sorry for ma bad english

Wow ! Awesome ! Many thanks for this third part ! I wait the project files :p...

Thank you sir for this wonderful training series.

Teri ma ki choot,ben ke launde...itna badhiya tutorial bhonsad ke jane kaise bana leta hai tu re.You are simply great and maadarchod no 1.Greeting from India.HAPPY DIWALI.

this is a serious compositing pro quality. i loved it.only one things is catching my eye which might be my bit of a vision impairment!.asphalt where all small pieces and hole is after all things done in 3d max don't get the same amount of light or same tone of color like background.the hole area where on asphalt looks like evening time after or just before sunset.we should see more light comes through and more sharp shadow.basically with all this experience and knowledge it could b better look, like what we see in good Hollywood movies.I hope it will be fixed in next part of tutorial.

you rule man!

Pretty nice AK!
I love your jokes ^^

aliens.... who doesn't love them?

great tutorial, awesome what you can do with 3d tracking and stuff like that

thanks again and... keep up the good work

i will see you....... NEXT TIME if aliens won't eat us...... .............. heh.... not

i always say this...and i'll say it again...all of your tutorials are cool and very awesome! keept it up man!

greetings from makati city, philippines!

GOD GAVE U A GIFT, THATS YOUR KNOWLEDGE.... YOU ARE SHARING THAT KNOWLEDGE TO THE OTHERS.. THATS YOUR KINDNESS... I REALLY APRECIATE..

omg thats so cool!

And I hope the Pogs thing wasn't a joke becaus my brothers told me about them and I've always wished they were still around.

At first:
Thanks for the tutorial series, it helps a lot!
Second:
The way you edit the mask for the crater in this tutorial is good, but there are better... In 3ds Max, you should turn the self illumination of the material to 100. In that way, you'll get a very clean white, which can be used perfectly as mask.
Because if you would have some more shadows in your scene, the white wouldn't be clean, if the self illumination is 0...

btw: your tutorials are great!

LOL @ ALIEN.

THAS AWESOME. Thanks. It's great. Greetings from Mexico.

Alien joke was awsome...
Nice set of totorials either...

thanx

Nice one fella been waiting for this! TA!!!

CyA Mike

very nice tut

Hi Mr.Andrew Kramer. That was great thanks a lot. please keep making tutorials. Thanks again. I'm from Tashkent =)

You've done it again master a.kramer
Are you visiting australia soon...
I would love to have you as a guest speaker at a conference at which I am part of...

BTW...loved your tute.

Thanks Andrew !!! I love u !!!

awesome.....lol alien thing:))

waited so long for part3.It's really cool cos I've never seen any free stuff of this type....
nice work......

well good that actually someone who owns a website actually subscribed to its own forum!

thats one of those things that make you out of this world

or of course if you are an alien, from this world

one of the best ones i've heard today

Nice one!!!

hmm... "cardboard graphic card" i thought you were talking about my PC ...lol!!

Great tutorial!

I did my 3D elements in Maya, which was a little harder because maya doesn't have a noise modifier to make the mesh have that busted look. Although the render layers made rendering super smooth. I'll post up my version soon. I used my own HD footage too.

Two thumbs up for these series of tutorials. It shouldn't have been free though. Too much work Kramer. I would pay you for these tuts.

I SCREAMED like a Girl. when the goblin jumped out... and there was a hot girl next to me..thanks Andrew my chances of ever being manly to this girl are ruined. haha

Wow! Great turorial, i'll do some practice runs, steps seem a bit complicated. I'm using Cinema 4D so it's gonna involve a lot of translation in my case, but the end result is worthy of such an effort.

Thanks Andrew! God bless...

You are made of awesome! Thanks!

awesome tutorial

Kinda knew that an Alien was somewhere name the Layer Diffrent next time :D

great tutorial almost dug a hole in the street but you know the cops cant dig a hole in your street without them showing up

thanks Andrew

brinca brinca!!!

Yeah
that is what i am talking about

Thanks allot man for everything

Andrew Kaveman strikes back!

hey mr kramer, love the new tut's. you r helping me alot. u gt any new competitions coming up?

Pogs or no, that was cruel of you to make us wait so long for part 3!!! I always love the wrap-up section of any tuturials and part 3 was the wrap up of this series!!

Nothing's going to top this except maybe the finale of Battlestar Galactica!

Whoa. At last, part three! I was beginning to think it would be quicker to dig a hole in the road...

Sorry Andrew, great job as ever, and I know you got a business to run!

OMG WTF OMG WTF OMG WTF IU SHAT MYSELF WHEN THE GOBLIN EJECTED IN THE HOLE HAHAHA LOL

Hoooo men yesssss...
Finally finished
You are the man the AE :P

like quake... IMPRESSIVE !

tx once again

Top Man !

need i say more !

haha! That 'Horrible Idea' almost scared me!

I was like 'What?!'

this tutorial is freaking awsome thankx so much

Hey Andrew....you are only the best!
Thanks so much for sharing your knowlegde!

Ciao Ciao from Italy

Fantastic! I am absolutely percolating to see this new tutorial. This is exactly what I bought all my gear for.

This was indeed a great series of tutorials! well done! quick question: if I'm working with video with PAR=1,3333 what number should I type in the expression to make the 3d camera match the real camera? thanks...

Yeah baby, been waiting for a while on this one. Thanks Andrew!!! You're the best!

Man andrew you dont want to mess with me and pogs. I will take all your pogs and leave you crying. :) awesome work dude keep it up.

I ask this alot and it never gets answered. Why do you prefer 3D studio Max over Maya? What are the pros and cons? Or is it simply personal preferance?

And I was going to bed... Another sleepless night then :P
Thanks AK ^^
Pogs... ah, memories :) I still got some of them somewhere in my house.

That's good stuff. I am working on getting a job for composite work.

Thanks alot Andrew!
