Compositing</p> <p>I love to work with eyeon Fusion. But this task could be done in any compositing software - After Effects, Shake, Combustion or Nuke.</p> <p>------------------------------</p> <p><strong>"EVILNESS"</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/deko_lt/4006312244/"><img class="posterous_download_image" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3536/4006312244_a6f7642d4d.jpg" border="0" height="500" width="374" /></a></p> <p>For this part, workflow was even simpler. In most shots there was pure FumeFX simulation with added PFlow on top by "FumeFX Birth" operator. Sure, here we need a lot of more particles just to get 'some' stable shape. Keep in mind that this can be taked further and FumeFX can be drived with particles too, so more advanced workflow will be:</p> <p>PFlow --> FumeFX (particle source) --> PFlow --> Krakatoa.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>And that's all :) </strong></p> <p>And here is what we got at the end:</p> <p><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/1755557?portrait=0" frameborder="0" height="339" width="600"></iframe></p> <p>------------------------------</p> <p>Of course, current hardware possibilities can render a lot more particles. 3 years ago, I can't had more than 6-12 millions on one character, and there was still a lot of troubles to polish grainy look in compositing. Now you can easily render 20-40 milions on one machine, with one pass. Also current Krakatoa versions have great tools to render FumeFX directly or save particles on disk, multiply them and have enormous options to modify final look.

Isn't only better to render specific elements separately but also working with particular portion is a straight way to get work done more quickly.  </p> <p>Script below let you quickly turn off/on Particle Flow systems:</p> <blockquote> <p>for o in objects where classOf o == PF_Source do</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style=""> </span>(</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style=""> </span>o.Enable_Particles = not o.Enable_Particles</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style=""> </span>)</p> </blockquote> <p> </p> <p>This can be pretty usefull, when you want just quick turn off/on all particle flow systems. But what if you want manage not all PFlow systems at the time?</p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Exceptions</strong></span></p> <p><strong></strong></p> <p>Problem was how to mark some PFlow system wich I don't wanna work with and use this everytime when turning off/on specifically branch.
