Burning Paper – FumeFX

Eduard — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 16:33:25 +0000

A burning paper test to improve my skills using burning masks.
I worked a little bit on this pretty complex layered shader, I’ll post a screen on my blog if you are interested.
The sim is not very realistic, first because a real piece of paper needs like a minute to burn completely, and the fire is not really like this one…(I’ve filmed a real burning paper) by the way I worked more than a week for this test, so I hope that you like it!

1h 10 min

Playing with PFlow Box#2 and 3

Eduard — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 21:16:08 +0000

I’m trying to use the Box#2 and 3 to create some cool effects.
I’ve installed the Orbaz tools a week ago, after seeing the amazing works of Matthias Müller.
So this is my first test, I hope that you like it!

Matchmove Test – PFTrack

Eduard — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 13:12:57 +0000

Just a Matchmove test to try PFTrack.
I’ve achieved this quite good result after a lot of attempts, thanks to the high compression and the very bad quality of the footage…

Testing Naid…

Eduard — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 13:46:28 +0000

Actually I don’t know why I’ve installed Naiad on a Ubuntu partition yesterday…It’s just amazing!
