Volumetric Fire

Anyone who has seriously considered making realistic fire knows how hard it is to get the correct look and more importantly the correct dynamic behavior. The problem can be tackled in different ways: usually animators use particles to simulate the motion and then various rendering techniques to render these particles so that they look like fire, this solution is used in another tutorial on HyperVoxels.

Creating an army

Handling an army of UFO's is one thing, but things become complicated when you want to handle a mass of Bipeds which on top of that are animated !! In this tutorial we're going to see how to create a crowd of Bipeds in Lightwave 3D (version 6.5 upwards). The subject is a crowd carrying out a linear movement on a flat plane. I used this technique to create a crowd of 500 soldiers in the first trailer of Star Ancetor. In fact its more of a trick than a real crowd simulation, therefore, no question of recreating the crowds of "Retour du Roi" (Return of the King) or even the army of Anubis in "le Retour de la Momie" :) (The return of The Mummy)
