My new project
CoriDavis:
eh, yeah I see where you're going. I usually use transmaps for Hair a lot though. it makes rendering faster, and in most cases makes the hair look more realistic. I also use it for clouds and such too. I can see it being very helpful in making sparks and stuff like the spray of the sea
ADSohr:
I personally would use transmaps for all of that as well. If you were using Blender or 3DsMax instead of Anim8or, then you could model the hair and use physics for movement. Since Anim8or does not have that capability then transmaps are the better option.
CoriDavis:
Yeah. I didn't trust Blender, you've probably heard me say why before. but yeah, transmaps are kind of fun.
davdud101:
I can't use Blender because the interface seems impossible.. But I did try out some pretty cool stuff with liquid and cloth particle and physics.
ADSohr:
I wasn't trying to start a conversation about Blender. ::)
For me Blender is a tool that can be used to great effect. I just do not have the computer power to be able use Blender.
If you use Gimp you can make good transmaps for hair, then put those maps on planes that cross eachother in Anim8or. that makes it so that you can see the transmaps from different angles. A couple of planes can be moved around alot quicker than a volumetric tail, and has the added benefit of quicker render times due to the reduction in the number of polies.
Maybe sometime tonight I'll make a quick tutorial of sorts.
