Thanks a lot for this!

I was wondering if that preview video you showed us would ever make it into a tutorial. Glad to see you got it up.

It looks interesting, can't wait to watch it!

Great tutorial Andrew... like all your stuff so much!

this is sooo great andrew.. as great as always..
thanks for another magnificent tut!! hope you're all right

sweeet

thanks good great!

mavy you can work on autodesk maya that will be realy good

awesome Andrew, maybe you could show this in Cinema 4d? still I can take these techniques.

thanks again!!!

thanks boss

Yes! I like 3ds

Thanks AK!!! Great as always!!

More 3D tutorials!! <33!! please :]

wow..another great tut from AK....

Thats great stuff man. When are you going to do somthing with Maya?

Andrew .. First post, just want to tell you I love what you do.. Especially the 3ds stuff, that is where I am trying to get better.. That is all.. just keep it up :)

Nice tutorial ..

i think you went overly fast, and i was looking forwards to seeing how you created a camera movement that looped itself back into its original frame without looking like it did, much like u wrote on your original post. Nice tutorial but definetely not one of your best. Thanks a lot for everything though. maybe a part 2?

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thnx a ton Andrew for the awesome updates.

Regards
Sandy

cool video!!!

brinca brinca!!!

very nice...
xD
thanks

cool

Yes, Yes... It is a very cool tutorial but there is a thing that is missing:
The 3D Camera?

Wow a new product announcement and a new tutorial back to back...I know you're busy. Thanks so very much as always!!!

it s great but a got a c4d i can t make this texture .please do u no how do that with c4d.

thank you. makes we wanna become a 3d artist.

Thanks bubby..... good tuts! but you did cruise through this like you were wanting to drink you coffee before it got cold. Glad I know what you were doing, but for someone who didnt know...they still be wondering what that flash was that was on the screen for a few minutes.

:)

love your stuff andrew!

peace out.

marvelous, pliz give us more 3d tutorials

nice one, although I work with C4d.
But next time less effecting and more jokes please :)

it's doing a little dance... and it's going to kill you...
GREAT

very very very nice

wow, I like it. I did a little C4D copy and post it in the forum. Far from yours, but a little intent. Thanx AK (47)

WWWWWWOOOOOOOWWWWWWW

my life is in looping now


u're great

verry nice tutorial!! thanks!

ps: you always like to "turn on" polygons :D

awnesome tute master!

THANK YOU SO MUCH ANDREW!!!

maya maya !!

Man...
ideas are wery good...
anyway, very usefull material...

hey thx for another awesome tutorial

thanks a lot for this tutorial that i was waiting for thanks ANDREW KRAMER

Hi Mr.Andrw Kramer. That was very very cool. Thanks a lot to you. I love you =)

Thank you so much....
Another great lesson from AK....
Thanxxxxxx againnnnn..

what happen to the 2nd part of the tutorial(Adobe AE)

I'm glad that you made the tutorial.Nice work,congrats.

Beautiful! I like andrew kramer joke. lol!

Great stuff, Andrew! I'm a Maya user, myself, but the more and more I see you demonstrate 3DSMax, the more I want to use it instead! Haha. Mostly, I'm jealous of the Materials system. It seems much better than Maya's.

Thanks Andrew. It amazes me watching you fly through huge programs like this with such ease. I think I drooled all over my keyboard watching 3DMax create stuff under your guidance. I can't wait until I can afford it and follow along with you. Excellent tutorial Andrew. You are amazing.

Is it Christmas already????? Great job...u the man!

hey whats up andrew i love your tutorials and i wont to have more tutprial us 3ds max bicaus with AE i mean is enough....kisss...

VETTE SHIT!! GREAT ANDREW!!

excelent:D...i love these 3D max tutorials combined with after effects.....keep it up dude....and thank you for sharing ur knowledge..

Damn. 10 minutes of spot-on practical example equals 100 hours of fumbling around trying to get something to work. Modeling techniques materials sane render configuration = fabulous. So often tutorials, manuals, books are so specific and tailored to the desired "outcome" or "look" that a general application of the techniques learned is not possible. i.e. Everything works great until you move a light or tweak a render setting and then your animation turns to crap and you can't engineer a solution. Your tutorial taught me the underlying methodology and approach to problem solving which is often lacking from typical instruction. What is the functionality of the software and how should I apply it to my project.
Thank you very, very much.
Cheers,
Jim

Hey! THANX ALOT for this tutorial, Andrew! :]
i LOVE your 3Ds Max Tutorials, and i really wanna improve my finishing touches with the software, like lightning, texturing, rendering.

i Just Wish those kind of tutorials would be longer! i know youre a busy man, and we should all just thank u for what u throw at us, but i gotta say, i dont wanna make my projects so automated. and create them so technically by following the steps. i would love if u could throw in a word, here and there, just explaining what u are doing...explaining the reason behind your steps, so we could use the tools u give us, for something other than creating the same exact project :]
Thanx alot! And have a great weekend,all of u! :]

haha doing a little dance!

he does the most wonderfull bellydance ever seen!

thnx Andrew!


cheers Maarten

great job man !!!!
Is there something u cant create with a visual effects programm??? ;D

Awesome, now that you made this tutorial from that preview video I'm hoping you'll make that one from kinetic topography with the empty room that you showed the preview for on the same day. Keep up the great work.
-Chase

Great Tutorial, IF ONLY YOU USED MAYA!!!!!!!!! (life would be grand)

Gr8 tut! 1st International Teacher Award should DEFINITELY goes to A.K. !!!

post script: does ne-1 else here thnk importing .pngs frm 3Dmax to AE is equivalent to immaculate conception !?!?!?!

Awesome great tutorial, love the 3ds Max tutorials!!!

One question how did oyu loop the camera movement so it was seamless?

Great tutorial...!!! I like 3dsMax

WOW!!! dude this is great tutorial!
pls include more 3d max tutorials!plZ

that was... PURE AWESOME =D =D =D

nice man i always liked your way teaching things (lighthearted and clear)...damn your tuts always makes me laugh in a nice way :)

As informative and entertaining as always Mr. Kramer. Any possibility we could see some more 3ds Max tutorials from you in the future? I'd love to get more out of the program.

Texture please.. T^T

kewl work done

Awesome tutorial... Thnks AK..

coooool!

for the 3d camera u can simply copy the first key frame to the last frame. TaDaa!!! Just be sure to make the before last 1 close to the first so u have a nice flow not a jumpy 1. uh...and u can use the falloff map in the opacity slot for really interesting effects 2. 10x andrew for ur work. I'm just trying to give back a little...

awesome Andrew, it's very good! maybe you could show this in blender? thank you.

Hey! Andrew
Im One of your Biggest Fan dude.
You Just Rock!
Awesome Works!
Im a Student in IACG-India.
Thanks a Lot For Your Tutorials.
Hope You`d Write me back to my e-mail.
Thanks Again!

Love the tutorial like all your staff. They've given me so many ideas. They make me look really smart though it's all down to you.

Thank you and keep them coming

PS Could you put on a tutorial that's dedicated to mixing some of your fab sound FX please?

As a Mac Man I only use Cinema 4d. Any chance for the recreation in c4?

WOW TNX !!!!!!!!!
ur GREAT !!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL !!!

super..can you prepare a cinema 4d tutorial...

It is possible this tutor for maya?

Hey Mr. Kramer!

This tut was really cool. You are always funny and that's what seperates you from the rest. Except could you please make Blender 3D tutorials?I can't afford 3D Max and can't make head or tail out of Blender. Anyway one last thought."He's doing a little dance and then he'll eat you." Incredibly Hilarious! :)

Great tutorial....ANDREW....Nice Stuff.....I have do learn lots of things from your tutorials.....
Thanks a billion.................

WOW!
seriously, nice work Andrew...

Here my short clip from the tutorial!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFj1w6KBfiY

http://www.youtube.com/cathydirector

very good tutorial thanks andrew!! , but can you do tutorials for blender? I need some help with that free program.

Desde Honduras un saludo, Andrew eres todo un maestro!!

can you use blender next time?
it will be very helpful for some of us.

how do i get it into after effects? i cant import it as a .max or a .chr, and i dont know how to save it as anything else. (im new to 3ds max)

I hope you can make a animation tutorial of how you animated this?

Andrew you're the best! Thank you a lot for your tutorials!
We want more 3D max tutorials to mix with AE!!
Congratulations one more time!

you are a BEAST

You are really superb, dedicated guy..........

thousands of thanks to you

Great tutorial!

BUT

I saw a few other people ask as well...

How did you loop the camera move? Could you show that in a part B since you already have the scene?

Thanks!

amazing man! thnx

looks alot like this:

http://motionographer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/pause_half_res.mov

was this your inspiration andrew?

Nice...(can you make a transformers tutorial??):D

Great tutorial man, but I need from you to explain how to make these looping without flickering or other stuff?
It doesnot have to bewith an object, we can try it first with text, then by a footage of clouds running, then by a ball rolling, so we can know how to make looping perfectly.
It is yur fault, because you are the best/

It looks like the DVEIN's Demoreel.
You should see it :

Please help me. I have 3Dmax 2009.
In my Material liberty all is "Missing Matrial"
What's this? please help ;)

i am brazil : traduza adoro vocês aprendir muito com os seus trabalhos logo logo estarei ai em holliwood

Keep those 3d max tuts comin' Amazing stuff.

Hey Andrew, I realy like your tutorials. Not only the good old technical stuff but it looks great and it's alot of fun. I was just working on a title sequence (something like this tut.) for my first short film. So thanks, it realy helps. In another scene we recorded 2 characters walking closer to eachother (greenscreen) while the ground crumbles down behind them (3Ds). In de background I was thinking A-bomb explosions forming very dark firery clouds. So maybe you can use this for a tutorial.
That would be so cool!
Thanks
p.s. Don't let your baby grow up to be an animator

Just awesome...

tnx Andrew keep up

hey andrew very cool tutorial

I always watch your tutorials

but is deare a way to export from Cinema 4D to after effects?

or do you know wath format

Out standing Andrew,
I really like it when you work on 3ds Max. in fact i'm learning more when i spend 10 minutes on you tutorial then all the time i've spent before in other writen tutorials (and God knows that i've spent a looooottttt of time there)
Thank you Andrew.

congrats!!! andrew!!! u are amazing man! greetings from Mendoza, Argentina

Nunca te mueras Andrew eres el mejor del mundo

will you be doing any maya tutorials? thanks andrew

that's good thnx men

Looks like the Kramenator is moving from AE to 3D more... It would be great if he did a series of tutes on that! Honestly, I think he's covered most of everything in AE aside from the creative process!

What do you say Andrew? Start a set of 3D tutorials for non-noob beginners? Even if you didn't post them here and just did a DVD that would be awesome... say 10-20 lessons to get someone from AE with no 3D experience into Max or Maya, or even Blender...

Ah a man can dream can't he?!?!?

VERY COOL TUTO!!!
PLEASE MORE 3D ´S MAX
THANX

Amazing Andrew strikes again!!
The tutorial 79!!
I'm sure of one thing,the number 80 will be an extraordinary tutorial!!

I want to become like you :(

Salut !
thank you, because of you I achieved my first clip, see:
http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=EL1QRXCmlHM

merci, grace a toi j'ai pu realiser mon premier clip, voir
http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=EL1QRXCmlHM

Hi man! I'm from France and I'am a fan of your tutorial, who really help me.
Thank you and please go on like that !

so cool, I like it

Awesome!

But can we PLEASE see more After Effects Tutorials or Blender tutorials? 3DS does not run on my platform (Mac)

hey... effects -> solution particle is a plugin ?? pls i dont have this...i have adobe cs4

Andrew,
I think that it is awesome that you are now getting into the realm of 3d and writing tutorials for it. I feel however that 3d is a seperate part of post production however. Maybe having a seperate site, or section devoted to 3d work would be beneficial. Just a thought...

wow max is so cake...its like i could make that in maya, but it would take a couple hours to get the textures to get that nice slimy real look. awesome job haha

How about a C4D method?

very good Thanks !!
I'm Korean

how to send you my demon face project ?

hehe, nice to see you fiddling in max too, but its kind of obvious you're better at after effects.

If you wanna add contrast to a procedural map like noise, just do it by adjusting the curve in the output rollout of the noise. That way, you're not clampling ;)

It's amazing

Good! very goody!

Thanks andrew!!

Please, cinema 4d version too

very cool~~I like it~~~

Just wanted to say that I found videocopilot recently and you' re doing an amazing job.
The tutorials are great, easy to understand and made with such coolness that we cannot wait the next one. Every time I show your page to people who wants to know more about the potential of after effects they get so happy and excited.
The presets are pure bonus.
Thanks a lot from Belgium.

Andrew bravo!... can you make new tutorials like fantasy seens, magical effets???

oh very good very good coloring
your one of the worlds best man to help other people .

hello Andrew this is not a comment but request hope one day you'll be able to go through this comments(with all the busy schedule you have)and then stop to see this......not. But if the force be with you and guide you to this comment pleeeeeeeease read!.
I've been coming to video copilot for a crash course and it's been fun "serious....honest no butt kissing" the thing i would love if you can do a tutorial on someone emitting flame out of his/her hand then close his/her hand and the flame stop.....you know? he open his/her palm and boom then closes his palm no more boom. thank you shola from NIGERIA
oh yeah by the way pls use sitnisati for the fire ok.

wow andrew! where did you learn all of that stuff?...

Why did you not working on a cinema 4d?

Dude, when are you going to post the next one ? :D

This is an amazing tutorial, but I'm wondering if you'll be making any tutorials on just being funny?

I'm always telling jokes but nobody seems to laugh?
So can we have a tutorial on being funny please!

I have neverseen so many comments on one page before. This thinga magig is the real deal

Great tutorial, been dying to know how to properly do this stuff for a looong time!

Also found out that a GeoSphere works better for all the 'arm' extensions on the cell itself.

Keep it up, Andrew!

I dont get it!!!Whats the program your are using.It is certainly not Adobe After Effects...Could anybody send me an anwser at p.papaspyrou@yahoo.com.THANKS A lot

Thanks Andrew,and keep up with 3DS MAX Tutorials.

"I think, for a split second, you actually turned into a unicorn" during this tutorial. (A quote from the movie Step Brothers). I've wanted to know how to do this type of thing for, oh, about 10 years.

From Montréal Canada Tank You... Very nice tuto
