Cinema 4d Render Explosion Effect [Another test - Video]

Aaron — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 01:07:38 +0000

This took an amazing 91 hours to render! due to all the tiny fragments, and after all that there is an issue/bug in the lighting and you should notice a flickering that is quite annoying, especially after the long wait. I’m also concerned that there was some timing issues between the music and editing, but overall it wasn’t a bad render, what do you think?

Aaron — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 02:32:50 +0000

Hey everyone,

Just recently I have had some of my tutorials submitted and posted on PSDTUTS, which for me is really big news me, as it’s helping me put my foot in the door in the industry.

Read on for tutorials:

so here they are so far:

Quick Tip: Create a Carbon Mesh Background in Photoshop

Create a Carbon Mesh background completely from scratch, making your very own mesh and carbon pasterns from the tutorial.

Quick Tip: Add a Frosted Background to Photo Captions

In this Quick Tip tutorial, we will demonstrate how to improve a text caption by creating a frosted glass-like text bar that can improve the look of your photos or designs.

That’s it for now, but keep tuned as I have more to come!

Thanks,

Aaron
