thank you Dosser, it takes me about two weeks to do each theme, maybe less if I work on it non-stop..
thank you headwax, good to hear(read XD) that!....... and for the water spray...at first I wanted to do some morph wavy effect on the water, but that would be a hell of work since the boat was moving, so I settled for the spray...
I created fire particles in Terranim8or then in anim8or I changed the particle colors from fiery to a more watery palette, after that I rendered it against a green screen and composed it to the final boat scene in After effects...
I found it a lot easier to manipulate it that way, and it took me less rendering and animating time...if time wasn't a problem I would have morphed the water around the boat and rendered the spray within anim8or.
And I'll come around making tuts eventually, never done one.....
*By the way if anyone noticed on the youtube videos, the language they're speaking is portuguese and all they do is introduce themselves....so don't get spooked, they're not uttering any sort of voodoo chant or something like it...XD
