223 RESPONSES TO "ORGANIC MESH IN 3D MAX"

by sam 11/15/2009
Hi Andrew, long time fan and one time customer, I was wondering if there is any tip for achieving camera movement in 3dmax like the one you used in this tut.Thanks to you and your wonderful work, we learned how to use camera wiggle in AE. Is there similar trick in 3dmax? I do not want to use many key frames in max for camera. I use two dummys to control pan and tilt for camera but can not make it wiggle...any hint or link would be highly appreciated....Rgds-Sam

"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.

by Alex 12/20/2008
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!
by Anthony 12/17/2008

by ant 12/16/2008
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!
by vyper 12/15/2008
Dude, when are you going to post the next one ? :D

by jose 12/11/2008
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.

It's amazing
by OMG its me 12/03/2008
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 ;)
by c jackson 12/03/2008
how to send you my demon face project ?

by Navarro Parker 12/02/2008
How about a C4D method?
by Aaron 12/02/2008
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
by Chad 12/01/2008
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...
by Mereu 12/01/2008
hey... effects -> solution particle is a plugin ?? pls i dont have this...i have adobe cs4
by CJJ 11/30/2008
Awesome!

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

by PABLO 11/28/2008
VERY COOL TUTO!!!
PLEASE MORE 3D ´S MAX
THANX
by Brian 11/27/2008
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?!?!?
by sham 11/27/2008
