I saw a HUD similar to this HUD tutorial, but a lot more different to this one, during the movie District 9, when one of the characters is using an alien mech.
But I don't know what computer program is used to create the HUD graphics in this movie...

i just watched the movie Avatar by james cameron and they used this alot in it. really nice tutorial by the way. I wonder if they took this idea from you because they used adobe and autodesk products to make the movie. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE AVATAR I REALLY RECOMMEND YOU WATCH IT BECAUSE IT IS THE BEST MOVIER EVER MADE!!!!!!!!!

For those interested, thought you might like to take a look at how the hud system was done in the real movie.

Great Tut, oh and thanks Scott, bailed me out big time :D

by Scott 02/11/2009
Hey ThomJohn- I had the same problem and even posted it here - discovered you have to be sure and have "square pixels" selected when you create the layer(s) for the targeting circles. Also make sure the "aspect ratio locked" box is not checked. Changing to "square pixels" seemed to solve the problem for me.
by Brad 05/04/2009
hey andrew, im an aspiring AE user and this website has definitly helped me get to where i am now

ive watched every second of all your vids over the past year, and i must say, that you've taught me more then my actual classes has taught me. Now i'm starting to make my own amateur films and i use the skills you taught me every time I use AE, i would just like to personally thank you for all that you've done


o, and this is my 2nd favorite tutorial next to the energy tutorial.

KEEP IT UP!!! :8D
