Well Rayraz: 1. I'm gonna do Small scenes, render them, changees the scenes, render them so froth and so on, I'm gonna do the lazers in AE, render that, pull all of the renders in premiere pro and do transitions, etc, in there, I do not think it will take that long, seriously cause I am MOTIVATED, (yeah, eith my exp. it will take 5 years) LOL Danamo: I have AE 6.0 Pro, How Exactly, Step-by-step her can I go about doing the following, please be specific, please, cause I have to visualize as I read ok: Sequence: Tie fires at a "wounded" X-wing, (I can do the lazer beams in AE no problem) 1. The blast "makes contact" with X-wing hull. 2. The X-Wing (still in flight) glows bright yellow, and explodes... 3. We see particles of ????(ship hull) material for a second or 2. 4. Camera "sees" empty space where X-wing "was". Now, a few questions: 1. How does one achieve this? remember I can do the blasters in AE. 2. How do I do the explosion (AE, and if so how?) OR in Bryce, and if so how?) 3. While rendering in Bryce, after the 1st second of "getting Fired on" How can I make the X-wing "disappear" One "other question: Alrady posted this , did not ge a "good" response, but thanks to those that tried, How can I do the "cloaking" and "decloaking" effect? Since it will be in Bryce that I have to "put" the ship into, doesn't it have to be "done" in Bryce? Hey I have an idea? Do you two guys get into the chat room here very much? If so, could you talk me through these effects, OR maybe Write a step-by-step tutorial, WITH screnshots? Well, anyway, I am motivated and I want to begin, what do you guys think?
