Hi All,
Just got a request to do an explosion, not the real life look but rather what
you'd see in video arcade games. This is for a TV commercial for Power Ranger
toys. All tips and tricks are welcome (and needed!).
Thanks from Victor Voo.
Victor,
You could create 2-4 cartoon/illustrative 'explosion' bitmaps. Map them on
concentric, offset polygons (either shaped or opacity/specular mapped) then key
their motion (scaling/mat morphing to trans.) to get the timing you want. Very
2-D.
J.D.
See "BIG MAGIC EXPLOSION" In IPAS library, it might be exactly what you're
looking for. If you're interested in the technique, send me E-mail.
