First attempt (made it a missile instead of meteor).
Problems with motion tracking. I don't know how to do it properly. The layers were doing all kinds of weird things when I parented them to the null object. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to motion track to multiple nulls. I've only been using AE for a week. Need help. Also, the null was not giving me a Z coordinate to parent to like in this tutorial. Don't know how to fix that. Can anyone help?

Hello Andrew Kramer!

It would be really fun to meet you one time, and hear the: Hello! My name is Andrew Kramer! hahaha.

Thanks for the tutorial. This would be great to use with the 3D crater! Imagine a meteor is crashing down, and the camera is falling to the ground, then taken up and pointed to the crash which now is a crater

Andrew Kramer you are crazy !
by Mark 02/25/2009
Hey Andrew,love your tutorials,I just have a question... The part where you composite the 3d objects... I always get a black background.. like when I batch render... and when I try to get rid of it in AE by keying it out... you can tell that the edges are rough,even after feathering it.. please if you could explain detailed how to render from 3ds max for compositing in AE without black background? Or even better Maya Thanks in advance and keep up the great work.

waw wawwwwwwwwwwww
u have a great mind so u share all tutorials great great.........what i say?
by Will Cavanagh 10/30/2008
I'm sure someone else has said this, but the fringe is a result of AE expecting unpremultiplied RGB in the PNG sequence, and you should interpret the footage as premultiplied (since this is how it comes out of 3DS.)
by howejay 10/28/2008
thanks
by AB 10/28/2008
Great tutorial, taking this tutorial a step further, how can we show the meteor coming from space and following it just like in the bullet tutorial? Once again thanks

by Rich 10/15/2008
Very cool tutorial and I love the talent you have.

But sometimes it's frustrating when I am going through this tutorial only to find I don't have Trapcode Particular installed. Even more frustrating to see it cost $299.99.

So nice tut, but I, myself can't use it since I don't have the right tools. I like the ones you do that only feature the things that can be done with a stock version of AE CS3.

But you can't control what we have :)

by Kilian Koeltzsch 09/24/2008
I want to thank you! Uploading the 3ds Max render was a great idea, as I had some troubles following your workflow there. I don't even know how to close the spline in max...

And with this tutorial you finally got me back to VFX. Right after Tutorial 61 I got a bit bored and never knew how and when to get back to the topic. But this tutorial caught me and inspired me to go back and even attempt making some shorts with a few of my friends.

Thank you Andrew.

by Ryan O. 09/23/2008
Hey Andrew,

I've been watching your tutorials for quite some time now, and I do want to thank you very much for sharing some of your techniques. I've been in the broadcasting business for just a few years now, and with some of your tutorials and products, I have already increased the quality of our on air content that we produce here at the station.

I am especially interested in your use of 3D applications. I had classes in college and was on top of my 3D Studio Max class, but recently I let that talent go to waist. But now with the Meteor tutorials and what have you, I'm going back and learning the goodness that is 3DS Max again over again.

Thanks again Andrew,
Ryan O.
by Mariagorn 09/23/2008
Yes, my master.
by Olli 09/23/2008
Very good Andrew!

Now I finally start understand MAX's particle flow. That particular looks also very handy. You are making a great deal for trapcode. I guess I have to get that plug-in. Hope you get the profit.

I have a Null Object layer controlling the XY position of the Particular emitter.

As soon as I make that Null a 3D Layer, the particles disappear.

Any ideas as to where I've gone wrong?
by Kevin 09/22/2008

Hey Andrew I am definitely gonna buy all your products !!! KEEP MAKING GOOD TUTORIALS!! THANKS!!
by Michael 09/21/2008
Andrew, why did you use "Remove Color Matting"? It is easier to just set the Alpha to premultiplied, cause 3ds Max renders this way. And you would not get a fringe on the edges at colorcorrection.

For those who do not know how to set it to Premultiplied: Right click on the PNG sequence - go to Interpred Footage - and choose Premultiplied under Alpha. You can also press Guess if you not sure.

Hope that helps.

Of Course, if you want to see the high-res version write me to my mail and i send to you the file.

Good LIFE!!
by Rayspirit 09/21/2008
hi andrew.. thanks a lot for sharing with us your knowledge.. i've made my personal version of this tecnique.. i hope you like it. if you can send me a personal tip to make more professional the overall compositing.. really thank you

by Phil Boucher 09/21/2008
Amazing stuff. Love the 3D intergration. Would be cool to do more of these and maybe get into 3D tracking with tools like Boujou. The important thing i shat you make me save alot of time in my productions.

Thanks a million
by Germany 09/21/2008
Thank you sooo much =)

by DiggerDave 09/21/2008
Hey AK,

Cheers Bud

Excellent....Excellent....Excellent....Excellent.....
by sdfg 09/21/2008
heey,

I dont have 3dsmax. Can I also do all this stuff in blender or maya?
by Olympia Logger 09/21/2008
Could you do a BLENDER version of this?

Also one with SynthEyes instead of Boujou.

Boujou is so un-affordable it's silly...just silly.





...and what did you do with Sammy!?!!

Now that's a tutorial! :) Thanks a lot!
But it would be great if you also included the Debris image sequence you created in Max in the project file because I don't have any 3D applications but I'd like to do that too:)

Thanks again! You're great!

by alfredo 09/19/2008
Really cool. I have always been scared to touch max particle generators, this seems a nice introduction to them. Also, i agree if you plan to make an afterburn or fume fx tutorial.
Good job as always.

It looks funny to me when you say PAR-TI-CU-LAHR, if your asking me :)

by Sebastian 09/19/2008
All the time I couldn't help wondering ... who's going to fix that road? What one man can break in 49 mins no man can ever repair in, let's say, a week. Think of all the diversions. All the angry people late for work again. It's the after effects that worry me.

Sorry, got carried away there.

by TtnAtlas 09/19/2008
Wow, that was so much easier than it looked. What was that one video of the crash that you showed at the end? That one looked incredible, and so does the one you just did in like 15 minutes. I'm going to do my best to promote the site for you because you deserve it. Any word on when you'll be posting the street crater tutorial from the video? That looked amazing as well, no rush though. Great work!
by Billy W 09/19/2008

As always a great tutorial. Hopefully Trapcode is paying you. Also, love the announcer voice. Don't listen to the haters. I would love to see a tutorial on expressions alone. I've been trying to teach myself through some javascript tutorials but any additional help would be greatly appreciated. Especially because you are such a bad ass with them. Thanks, you are an amazing resource that I recommend to everyone in the field.
