Andrew you are making my dream come true...i'll start a 3d based college next week and with your help in after effects i'm making my interests biggers...thanks

Nice but I manage to watch only the half ot the second part of the tutorial,then the streaming stops and that's it I guess it's not from my ISP because all of the other tuts are playing on 100%

Andrew you rocks, man!
Good background music from Massive Attack or Morcheeba, i don't remember but yes, remember the video. jeje. Nice subtle joke.

Hey, Andrew! On more really nice tutorial! I'm a french fan of you work! Your tutorials are really clear and concise, and you're really good at explainig. And I think it's an excellent idea to also integrate 3DS Max tutorials. Keep going, your work is awesome!

Great tut! One question: why is the outcome different when you apply the CC Glass effect on a pre-composed layer than just simply apply it on the layer with the fractal noise?

love these tutorials, opens a new world to me, about intregrating 3dsmax and after effects.

Wow great Tutorail again. ;)
But I have a Problem. My Particles don´t get Blured by the depth of field. I don´t know why. I don´t have the Full Render DOF square Render mode. I Have just the Full Render Mode and Motion Prewiew. Is that a problem?

Can somebody help me?

Sorry I know my English is bad but I´m form German.

ANDREW THANK YOU really nice tutorial. I'm a Italian fan of your tutorial and your work.

VERY NICE. thank

First you do very goog job.But I have a probleme whit this tutorial, if somebody want to help me, my hotmail is : phil_manseau@hotmail.com

thanks a lots

Very nice tutorial but I've got just one problem.
In Particular, I don't have "Full render + DOF square". I just have Motion Preview or Full Render.
I do turn on the DOF in the camera's option but nothing happen.
What's wrong with my plug-in?

Excellent tutorial. It's great you are able to take time out of your schedule to to these.

Awesome. Thanks.

Dude you have given me a lot of insperation and like to thank you for it

awesome tutorial!

and a little not to seb who posted a comment a little above me:

depth of field is a new effect of particular and is only available in a new version. if the particular verison you are using is too old you'll have only motion preview or full render and not all 4 options. go update.

cool

hi. thanks a lot

My particles aren't moving. They don't play the 3d animation (I use a ".iff" maya file insted of .png, but I don't see how that could be a problem)
What I'm saying is that the particles play always the same photo, and I don't know what I must press to activate them. I thought that it was loop from birth, but it isn't. Any idea?????????????

Great tutorial.

Lennon: You need to export in a format that runs as a file numbered sequence, Andrew uses PNG, I personally prefer RLA, but you can also use TIFF and a few others. The images need to be labelled 000 - xxx and must be imported as an image sequence in AE, also ensure that you also export the alpha channel, or you wont have a background.

wow!!! you're just a fantastic teacher!
You are the reason why I love editing films and animations....

Why don't you have your own biography in wikipedia yet?!?!?

Sorry, I was done. :D This is Great Tutorial.Thanks

Hi!

i just finished this tutorial and made an animation of my own. there is a problem with the particle system:as shown in the tutorial, i mapped a 3d-animation of a cell on the particle system. that worked very well. but there is one problem: the reference-animation of the particle is 200-frames long..it shows the cell spining around itself (once!).after that it has to be looped.but there is the problem: that causes a visible "flicker"-effect wich is visible on every particle after every loop. i dont understand that. i tested the animation of the source 3d-model and its 100% perfect..when its looped! so why does it flicker in the particle system ?? another problem is..that there is an ugly "overlap" effect when a particle crosses another particle in 3d-space..how do i avoid that ?

you can watch my animation here:

hope someone can help me!

greetings from germany!

I've got a problem with the "Depth of Field".

in my "paricle" not exist "DOF Square (AE)".

plzzz.. can you help me with that
thanks

Twist - I had the same problem myself, I've no idea why this should happen but try setting your time sampling to split clip - loop. This seems to solve the issue. Hope this helps!

Chris.

Conratulations from Spain Andrew, are your DVD products explained as good as your tuts, i mean, so clear?? i'm really interested in buying the riot gear one. Thanks a lot for everything

I'm using AE CS3, but I don't have this "CC Glass" effects, does it comes with AE or I do I have to download it?

Awesome tutorial BTW

Superb! I can't wait to do part 3 to see what to do next!!

This is one very complex work. quite amazing.
You think everything through... all the small details. Very professional.

hi, I'm using CS3, and the trapcode particular thing isn't in the effects, what do you suggest, thanks

probably you do not read this, but i i'm watching this tutorial at 6:25 am, drunk, and i'm still can do these. the reason of that is your way of teach!
thanks bro!

To all you guys that have this problem it´s because you have a version earlyer than the 1.5, update your version, that´s all

Para quienes tienen el problema con DOF es porque no tienen la version 1.5 de trapcode particular, actualicen su version y listo

Some of your ink flows would look amazing for poision in the veins. I'm watching your tutorials as a form of entertainment now. They are all amazing and you have the funniest jokes. Thanks

Kramer you are the siznit!

Great, But Isn't it Better To Use A Particle System Inside of 3DS Max?

I i like this things man so i hope to still getting your videos to learn more

Andrew I'm new to after effect and all but ur tut brought me to speed.....there's just one prob at the part where you select full render depth of field from trapcode particular,mine only show motion preveiw and full render. pls help (after effect7)
