Finalized “030_0090” or Nitro Shot
Finally wrapping this one up. I updated the bubble simulation with a lot more bubbles that mesh together and dissolve is a more natural way. The recommended HDA helped a bunch. I had to re-work the setup to get it to work but it was pretty similar to the setup that I created but with some creative features.
I made the lightning a bit thinner too to make its effect less dramatic (there was enough of that already).
The rest of the work was done in comp. There are some fun lensing effects here. The whole render is displaced by a moving noise pattern to heighten the effect of the lens being distorted through the ripples of water. There are some particles fading in and out to help sell the illusion of tiny bits in the water catching the light.
Ill do a full breakdown video for this shot in a bit.
Starting FX for 0020_0120/0020_0130 or EMP Shots
Started working on the FX for this shot. There are going to be a lot of elements to this EMP blast. I have some of them started already. An energy wall, dust being kicked up, as well as some extra energy waves on the buttom.
I think the EMP should move faster too. Ill probably fade off half of it so it looks more like a faint wall moving in that direction. I think ill add some electic bits coming off the back of Storm Rider’s car too.
