TIP: For everyone that had trouble with the vines not attaching to the line properly and just remaining straight, I had the same problem and you just have to remember to set the segments up to 75 and not leave it at one. The vines won't twist and bend if they are only one segment.

Hi!

So this is how it goes...In Ae you click import > import file > (go to the map where your .png sequence is..then click first Z-depth filter sequence just one file-be sure that you have ticked out PNG sequence at the bottom of the import window).. When one .png file is imported, Ae automatically imports whole sequence... repeat whole thing with a main .png file again just like in the tutorial..at the end just drag main .png file to the new composition..
bye!

For the people that are having problems importing the png sequences into AE... what you need to do is open AE. go to file. then import. then fie. Now your gonna select all the images for the sequence from wherever you have them stored. now what you want to do is look in the bottom left corner of the import screen where it says PNG sequence and make sure its checked. if yo do that then it should import the images properly

Hey all!

Thanks for another great tut, Andrew.

One note for everyone - if you're making a tilable image in Photoshop, the step in which you cut a strip, then move it all the way to the left, then blend the right edge (around the 6 minute mark of the tut) should be done as the LAST step in PS. Do the burning and ALL your image manipulation first, or you could introduce a problem when the image is tiled.

In other words, if you were to follow the steps as done in this tut, but went overboard with the burn tool (at the 7:00 mark), burning the crap out of the left edge but not touching the right edge, you'd have an line where dark meets light when the image was tiled.

My apologies if this has been mentioned before - I looked back at 2 years worth of comments and didn't see anything...

Thank you for posting this tutorial. This is my first attempt at modeling in 3D Max and I must say, your tutorial was spot on. I am having one problem though. I have the room created and I was putting in the extra lights but when I tried to render out the scene, they wouldn't show up. I tried deleting all of my lights and starting over but when I did, now I can't get ANY lights to show up. Dont know whether its a setting issue or what but I desperately need lights in my room before I can move on. Thank you once again.

Hey Andrew
I love twitch and looked around to see if it would work in CS4.

I just got the Master Collection and run AE on a Mac.

I'm not quite ready to install CS4 just yet. Can't let my money maker go down.

Thanks for all the great stuff you do. I've purchased everything you got - keep it up the pixel-smashing heroin.

I was fully expecting to receive a tutorial with Twitch that would allow me to replicate what AK did in the preview. The tutorial that is on the free site is simplistic and shows the basics. But there is some more advanced stuff in there that I sure wish I could learn how to do! like the side lights and the grating on the ceiling at the end.

Hi Andrew, every one here is right your are the best teacher, not just for AE but with the rest of your apps. I've learned twice as much in 20-30 mins with your tutorials than I did in my classes which are 3 months long. 3d Studio Max tutorials are great. If you can make more I would greatly appreciate it. Your graphics design knowledge is valuable to all digital artists. Motion Graphics Artists, Modelers, Level Designers, FX Artists etc..

P.S. All of your tutorials are excellent, it's funny hearing you go off topic too, keep it up.

I have render all the night (100 images) and now I am bloked : at 23:27 you don't tell how open our images folders. I see you have one called "3d vines [00-90]" but I only have images calles "3dvines-1", "3dvines-2" ,and the same for Zdepth render picture okay ?
I try to put all images into a folder but I see you don't do that.

Someone one of us donate for your work , and I am really sad that you don't care about beginner who don't know how open the file LIKE YOU (I know "import>folder..." )

Sorry for my bad english.

Please Andrew Kramer or someone else reply me.

can u take sam for instance and like make 3d vines come out of his arm or sth like that??it would be very cool and really intresting..maybe with a scenario like:sam gets abducted by aliens and they perform sergery on him and alter his dna(u can use the effect from the tutorial with the blood cells for this)and he tries to kill his friends with strange alien vine like tentacles and then he fully transforms into an alien (demon warp effect)
and then jedi that came from the future (using the video u put on the blog)and cut him into bits and so on(actually since u have the power to do all these cool stuff why dont u make a full one hour movie??)it might take some time but u could sell a hell lot o' copies!!

Hi, master. great tutorial, really! like your style!
But i tried it myself and the "path deform binding"
isn't doing what i want it to do. it's doing some "wild stuff", as you would say. it just moves one end of the vines along the path, while the other one stays stable. what the hell is going on with my 3dsmax????

I could swear you're saying that this effect can't be pulled off in After effects alone.

I suggest you rethink that phrase. Using Particular, and a few expressions, this effect can be pulled off just as easily. It renders slower, sure, but it can be done.

You're losing your grip

Hey Andrew, great tutorial. thanx for the help. I just have to point something out that might got cut form the final movie.
When I got to the point of applying the Path Deform modifier, it wasn't working how it does on the tutorial. But I found out what happened. @ the beginning of it, when creating the splines you lowered the segments from 7 to 1(on the EXTRUDE modifier) so it could be easier on the machine. Therefore I wasn't getting the result like you were until I brought them back to 7. This is not mentioned on the tutorial, so I thought I should let you know....anyway thank you

Thanks Andrew for sharing with the community. As always you're an inspiration. Just one thing I noticed in the Maya tutorial. Its just a suggestion but I think it would have been alot simpler/easier if Jesse had extruded from curves as he originally had and just added a twist deformer to create that dynamic, entangled effect.

Insane tutorial ^^

I was sceptic about you using only a plane, reflectionmap and bumpmap to create the water.
In my opinion you should have created the room, and then created a plane which the opacity was set to 95-96% or something..

Anyway, Loved it, but it could use some motion blur

Hey Andrew

Thank you for these great tutorials.. I'm new to 3d modeling, but not new to Video Production in general. Ijust came across your tuts, and have to say they hit my bookmarks almost instantly. But I have a question as it relates to chroma keying. My partner and I are thinking of a concept shot for our portfolio. He's the camera genius, I'm the editor and FX guy. Anway, do you think it is possible to use that sequence and animate the water? I was thinking about changing the ripple/reflection parameters in various keyframes to create the effect.. would that work? Then we could do a live action shot with just that plate in the background

Hello everyone, I had created a similar thing in Cinema 4D last year as a cinematic for the final animation for a motion graphics promo.
I had used the helix curve with some parameters, sweep NURBS, bend deformer, cloner object and all that jazz. Finally you end up with a sort of complex structure with just one helix and a circle.
You can download the Cinema 4D source file from the following link:

http://www.mediafire.com/?1mztsyt42nn

Hope that helps.

in Maya you can animate an extrude from a cv or ep curve and a nurbs circle, make sure you choose the option 'partial' and than keyframe the min and max value of the subcurve...use deformers to twist and turn the pipes

Andyface

For those wondering which PNG to use, the answer is all of them.

PNGs are a single still image (kinda like a JPG, but with alpha information), so for an animation it requires a number of PNGs to work. For PAL )25 frames a second) a 4 second animation would produce 100 PNGs when rendered (25 x 4) so in order to make this an animation you need to import them as a sequence. When importing the files, select all the PNGs rendered for the animation and choose "PNG Sequence" from the bottom of the import box, this will then create a PNG Seqence at the framerate of your AE project. You may have noticed how the 2 sequences in Andrew's video where called 3D Vines[0000-0090] ie. PNG images 0000 to 0090, so 3 seconds of video (@30fps).

Hope that helps.

Great tutorial Andrew.. I never get tired of watching your tuts. I do have a question though. This is my first time using 3ds max and got to the part that i had to render it out , But instead of just one png image , it rendered 100 of them. is this supposed to happen? as in the after effects part of it there were only 2 images.

This tutorial is great!

I have easily achieved most of this in Cinema 4d, but as soon as I hit the vines, things go downhill.

I just need some help with the creation and effects of the vines in c4d, because everything else is pretty basic.
If anybody could help that'd be great.

AMAZING TUTORIAL!!!!!!!!!!

THank u for intergrating 3Ds MAX!!! Keep it up!!

BUT
One question!!
Why would u make the Depth Of Field in AE?
Cant u just do it already in 3Ds Max??

Or ..maybe u prefer not,cause of the render time?
Or maybe it comes out nicer on AE?

thanx

Hey Andrew, thanks for the tutorial, im very impressed with the result and tryed to experiment.

You can also animate the spline path by autokeying the vertexes in the path that the shapes extrudes on, that can give a great effect.

Thanks for the tutorial!

Hey Andrew,

Great as per usual....Another way to make an image tileable is to use the "Offset" tool, then to clone out the revealed edge. If you ever feel like trying something just a bit different...

Alex asked

Great Tutorial! Looks totally awesome! I have one question: how did you get all the png files in one big sequence? I got like 100 loose png files, so how can you put them together?

When you set the format for the render in Max, you choose PNG and since it's an animation it generates all the PNG files with sequential numbers.

When importing into AE, you just pick one of those files and select PNG sequence in the dialog and AE does the rest for you.

Hope that explains things for you.

Very nice tutorial.

Two minor remarks, maybe next time burn the texture before making it tile-able?
and scale the texture on the back wall to fit the side walls. (it looked a bit off imho);

Anyway no disrespect intended, your work makes AE easy for even the most novice user and i have alot of respect for that.

Btw Mr.Kramer lately i have had a hard time deciding whether you or the google translated comments you get are more humorous.

Great tutorial, specially the vines. I never used this method for depth of field. I ususally use RPF format in 3ds and then use 3d Chennels in AE or Combustion to add depth of field, fog or use the camera information from rpf file. I know you talked about RPF format before in the blog. I wonder which method works better!

I don't know how many of these you actually read but a little tip Andrew for making seamless textures, use the filter Other then offset, then you can offset your texture in any direction but in this case in the X direction then clone stamp over the seam and it will tile perfect. Don't know if you know that but now you do, and knowing is half the battle.
Kris

Hey Andrew!
Thanks for the sweet tutorial. These vines are something I've been dying to play with for ages! Can you possibly make a quick tutorial on how you can achieve the same effect using C4D? I've tried adapting your tutorial, but without luck!?! That would be fantastico!

Hi, thanks for yet another amazing tutorial. I'm using Cinema 4D and got it working almost perfectly! I think I'll start uploading all the little clips I've made to my website soon

The only thing I had trouble with was the Z-depth bit, but I found that I can get that working by enabling the depth of field on my camera and then get a seperate file rendered with only z-depth data using the multipass rendering

Thanks to your free tutorials I have now purchased one of your DVD tutorials sets. The free ones really showed me the awesome quality I would be getting with the paid ones and totaly sold me on the decision to buy.

Thank you so much for integrating 3ds Max, After Effects, and Photoshop all in one tutorial. I use these apps on a regular basis and seeing how professionals integrate them into each other makes the learning process that much more beneficial. I hope you do more 3ds Max/AE integration. Most VFX works uses multiple apps to achieve a good result not just one app.

Keep the VFX tutorials coming man, awesome job! If you release some AE/3ds Max VFX intgrated tutorials for purchase I'd definitely pick that up!

another good way to tile textures in photoshop is to take the same image and use Filter>Other>Offset...

if you do this with wrapping edges, you can then do some cloning on the unmatched edges and it all works perfect.

I've been using Max, for basic modelling, since version 1 and to be honest, I learned some stuff from this tutorial, so thanks for that. These tutorials get more impressive every time a new one comes out and it would be a sad day indeed if you ever stopped, so keep them coming. When I purchased Twitch a few days ago, I wondered how the vines were done and now I know. Now I'm going to try to produce a far more complex version, just because I have all the time in the world (no deadlines).

Long may Andrew Kramer and VideoCopilot.net reign.

Oh and peter
"And yes you should be able to use the RPF and RLA formats, though I have never actually tried that myself."

I don't think RLA or RPF sequences will load into AE like PNG files do or for that matter even be recognised by AE. Then you can always convert them to PNG later.

nice tutorial
one way easier to make the hall is simple create a box and put the modifier "normal" on it. If you want to change the material of the walls, ground , etc.. tranform the object into editable poly and in the modifier panel you select "face" and select the walls faces (example) and define a "material number"
when you create a new material you choose "multi map"..there Im sure you can figure out! =]

now i have a question about your productions...

What happen for people you don't know how to use 3d studio max? Is it possible to import in AE a 3ds file made in another software such as Rhino 3d?

Hi Andrew,
nice tutorial!
May I dare to give you a tip?
It's way faster in MAX to create a box and add a SHELL modifier with a certain inner Amount, than create all these boxes.

no offence

Andrew!

What an amazing Tutorial!, Could you please do some more 3d tutorials. There isn't many good ones online that explain the basics of 3d programs. If you could explain how to use them with AE it would be even better! I love your site. Your tutorials are the best i've seen around the net! Please make more of them

@ Warti
Cinema 4d can generate depth maps. In the multi-pass settings you can enable depth. You then need to set up the Target distance in the depth tab of your camera.
And yes you should be able to use the RPF and RLA formats, though I have never actually tried that myself.

I´ll try it in Cinema4D, it looks pretty simple!
I dont know Cinema4D has this Z-Depth like 3D Max i´ll check this out.

Hey whats about the Fileformats with Z-Information? Like RPF and RLA? Can´t i use them ?

And many thx for another great tutorial.

Lord and Master. Hey Andrew I am glad to get in one of the early comments on this tutorial.
Awesome inspiring tutorial. I have been seeking out more tutorials integrating 3D Max and AE. I will get more in the upcoming DVD, but this will definitely take care of my fix for GFX and VFX.
Once again thanks Andrew.
