I'm going to build an enterprise in E3D, just for the heck of it possibly for use in a video. But I'll try my hand at making tutorial inspired by Andrew Kramer.

So just watched the 3D version on my new TV. Now I'm wondering did you create the Real-3D effect in the title sequence or was that some other post production team. If you did create the Real-3D effect, can you make a tutorial on how to create real-3D, so I can make one myself, put on my 3D glasses and impress my kids and say - "hey look what dad just made".

At 4:44 Andrew talks about "particle animations." And it appears as though fire particle animations are inside of a E3D group. I'm trying to set a sphere on fire similar to the shot at 4:44. Can anyone help me understand how this is done?

It says on IMDB that the titles were created by Kelvin Optical.
Monte Porche

Well..when I look at the full cast and crew of Star Trek: Into Darkness, I see "Andrew Kramer-Main Title Designer: Kelvin Optical. That sounds, to me, like Kelvin Optical got the contract to create the titles, and they hired Andrew to do it.

Star Trek* and Macs are better. But he used a PC
Sam
11 years ago
Please don't listen to him blindly. Macs are not better. PC and Mac are both tools used to accomplish the same thing. Both can be argued in favor of but the PC has better pros usually. Don't go and spend your whole life savings on a extremely expensive Mac just because it's an industry norm that has no substance backing it.

loved the titles--I actually re-ran the dvd & watched them a few times, more than I did the movie. When I first saw them, I started thinking "that look's like something Andrew Kramer would come up with..." lol. Little did I know. Great job, best title sequence I've seen in years. And thank you for all of the tutorials too. Awesome as always...

Hey... Around 4:46 how did you arrange those custom particle animations around the 3D sphere? I didn't realize you could import pre-rendered MOVS into Element and use them as custom particles... How does that work?

Amazing work on this and VC has been an invaluable resource to me in general.. Love Element! I just don't have my head completely around it yet.

Thanks!

I am aware same thing.I can see that in the tutorial Andrew uses version E3D 1.6.1. And in the advabced material options there is additional options including Blending mode. In this case hi put the texture to the model and applied ADD mode. But i can not unerstand. I also have this version and i dont have this options. If you have any ideas please advise.

Cast Shadow & Blend Mode in v1.6.1 ? Realy?

I think without "Add" you can´t use particle replicator for transparent nebula stuff.

Every time I see this end credit piece on Star Trek, I am aghast at how frigg'in beautiful, gorgeous, fantastic it is!! The whole thing is worth watching over again a few times just to absorb all the beauty in it. And I have the BlueRay of it, and so don't think we don't notice all the great lens flares, fonts, lens smudges -- it looks utterly great. Andrew, huge respect to you for sharing your talent, and thanks for showing us how possible all this is using the stuff we have, and looking forward to some great Planet models in the future. I for one would buy them.

Manny

More than likely trapcode's particular

I would love to see how it's done if it was particular! That's amazing. I should have invested time in AE instead of Houdini, AE and Element are so much more fun.
Trey

If those solar flares were particular I'm gonna poop myself. My guess would've been something like TurbulenceFD
Deon
12 years ago
Well, since Andrew's 3dsmax user, he won't be using TFD, i bet it's fume fx for 3dsmax. Again, if trapcode can pull that off that'd be awesome to see how he does it
Sky
12 years ago
I think it actually is possible to do with trap code. Maybe not Particular, but instead Trapcode Form. I screwed around with it a bit and found something similar.
