Additional Tutorial Notes:
In this 3 Part tutorial, I'll show you how to create the effects where a camera goes inside a persons body; similar to the cool effect seen on House MD tuesdays on FOX :) Remember, this is a free tutorial and if you prefer to use a different program for the 3D part, feel free. There are many 3D forums that would be happy to help you with your favorite software instead.

I'm loving every second of it!
Merci beaucoup
Gracias !!
As a medical doctor watching your tutorials instead of studying my medical stuff, I have to say that the green cell is total BS, but who cares because making visual effects is a lot more fun than doctoring since you can make stuff up and nobody gets hurt (I felt like you were talking directly at me with that comment). Thanks for the great tuts, and if you ever need a medical adviser for a future project, let me know.
Thanks a lot
Merci beaucoup (French)
enough said!
And all you app haters out there, "I want this", "I want that", "Dont use this app"..... SHADDAP!!
The man is making this stuff for free, and to complain about having to see a tut using another application is completely ignorant. Andrew is showing us how to use this stuff in a real world setting, not just for AE.
This stuff is great Andrew, as you have probably heard once or two billion times, just keep it going. Its always a pleasure to get some info from someone such as yourself. Rock on!!!
Keep it up Andrew!!
..and I not agree with Watusse.. you're "the Pelé of AE"...
my name is bora iam a student in IT at Phnom Penh Cambodia,but now day iam trainning in bophana Center(www.bophana.org). i am interesting your side
next lesson maybe you will show me 3d (3ds Max)lesson from you.i like ur technic and AE style very powerful
Thanks so much, man. These tutorials are GREAT! I can't wait to see how this works with After Effects!
muy wenoo graciasss..
thanks man, i thought you might have converted to C4D...
That's just an amazing tutorial, just wow...
Very Cool!!
Go Dr.House.. ehmm.. I mean Andrew!
1. In 3DMax, you can add "Displacement Approx" modifier, to increase details of displacement.
2. For simulation of organic SSS (Sub-Surface Scattering) effect, you can use "Falloff"map(shadow/light algorithm, with dark bloody-red color in white color map, also need to tweak mix curves) in Self-Illumination shader.
3. And of course, Render elements can be usefull to adjust color and speculars in AE.
PS: sorry 4 my english.
But one question, regarding the rotation of the 3DStudio Max object. Wouldnt it be better to rotate the object 356.4 degrees instead of 360 degrees - so you dont have an object that is stuck on the same frame 2 times - 0 degrees / 360 degrees.
You are my favorite
I have only one question for you :)
Where Did You Learn This Everything ?! :) :)
U R really amazing man ;]
so.... 3D max is realy popular 3D Software, but Can you make second version? :P With CINEMA 4D :P? I see you when you say: No.... :):)
Cya! BIG MAN! :)
Amazing tutorial..
you're very pro..
if get you a banana you make a great video.
que glórias...
ANDREW KRAMER is really the best FX designer i've ever seen. With this one, let me say : RESPECT MAN !!!
I'm from Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire a beautiful country of West Africa). I've been watching your tutorials for 5 months and i think it's time to buy some now.
I'm from a french speaking country so i try my best to write in english.
ANDREW tu es trop fort ! Thanks for all these nice tutorials. God Bless you.
How do you know all that stuff, man you're great!
I only wrote one big tutorial for the psp and iam proud of it, and you got more than 50 now. :P
I did try 3D Studio Max, but after some time I quit because I couldn't find anything, because there are too many options...
I still have 3D Studio Max installed, so I definitely going to try this out and maybe I start to create things again!
Thanks for the tut,
SXForce
Great stuff. Thanks.
great tut andrew!
I hope one day you will some day make a tut

You are the man!!!
Some pepole ask if you could show them how to make the cells in C4D, if you dont have a plan of doing it andrew then i can. I have made some tutorials and i can make this one. If you dont bother

CRAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZY!
CRAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZY!
That was really great thanks :)
Andrew, would you host it?
I do not have hosting.
BTW, it's proving tougher b/c Cinema 4D does not have as many or as advanced texturing features.
I hope someone will post a link for modeling blood cells using C4D. Thanx a lot!
I hope you continue making videos that combine 3d and AE!!!!!!
You have just made my new movie. EXACTLY what I needed. Andrew to the rescue again!
cheers Callum.

I bought it on iTunes a while back... great song.
Andrew- really cool stuff. We really appreciate you going all out with your site, your media/software, and these tutorials. Any more news on the tutorial DVD compilation, or is that on the backburner right now?
Cheers!

and to the guys asking for other versions: he says right in the description, check some 3d graphics forums out, they'll likely show you how to do this
I would say: Kramer, M.D.

A quick little tut on how to create this effect in blender. Part 1 only.
Your toturials are great and It is very nice of you to present it with video. This way we can see every steps you take. All of your toturials are teching important techniques which helped me a lot and I enjoy every second of it, hey, I like your jokes too
It only lacks to a Morph tutor, using reshape to filter.
It would be very interesting Transformation of two people or animals.
Congratulations for its work
Muito Bom seus Tutoriais.
Só falta um tutor Morph, usando o reshape filter.
Seria muito interessante Transformação de duas pessoas ou animais.
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho
Thank you very much!
You are good man with BEST tutorials.
Hope you will create more tutorials like this!
Thank again.
Alex Max.

Could you please comment us a little details about the color timing you used here and that "300" film look you talked about in another tutorial?. I think the color of this one is amazing so It´s cool to see the before/after of a project in terms of color timing. Thanks and keep up the great job!

I really love your comments and for me watch your tutorials is better than watch regular television for mainly 2 reasons:
1 - it is much more entretaining and
2 - it is much more usuful.
i've been learning a lot since I started to view these tutorials.
btw, Everytime u talk about Sam, I know that something very funny it is going to comne out.
hahahaha your explanation about why he did not participate on this tutorial was the bomb. he wants to do full nudity hahahaha.
thanks for the good work.
I love it!!! You're the man!!!!
keep it up!
Andrew u r the reason y i
started with gfx design. Ill buy every product just to support u and videocopilot
Thank you for your time!
Can you show us how to make a camera go through walls or door knobs????
Why don't u use maya, or xsi ?
which needs to present about the part of cells
please give some ideas
thank you!!!
greetings from argentina

i like ur tutorials to much, before that tutorials i was unaware about After effects now i m working on after effects bkz of u ,
some time ago i want to make my video character covered with fire or HOLDING FIRE as u seen in FANTASTIC 4

The funny thing is that i found a movie, and when i saw it in the begining it had the same Medical Particles.
The movie was called Cyborg Soldier from 2008 so its very nice, but the movie was ok not the best.
You should check it out in the begning of the movie.
