CDixonDesign 178 Posted October 29, 2009 Davidson if you don't mind me asking, where to you get your PS backgrounds? I've tried to find a "mesh" texture like you used in your Broncos mach-up, but haven't had much look, any advice or can you point me in the right direction? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidson 115 Posted October 29, 2009 ae isnt a 3d program?It?s my understanding that After Effects has 3D plug-ins though.....not really. you can manipulate planes at depth and create 3 dimensional environments to an extend (again using only 2 d planes,but you cant create proper solid objects and certainly not curved surfaces like this.occasionally there are plugins that mimic the look of such things but they arent actually 3d.you certainly could not model anything like this helmet in ae. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damn, well I?ll just have to take your word for it. I was so incredibly sure 3 dimensional objects were possible in AE.Excuse my ignorant question but how much will Cinema 4d set you back? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidson 115 Posted October 30, 2009 no, you have to render it out in 3d 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CDixonDesign 178 Posted October 30, 2009 WOW! Nice bowld, I haven't even thought of rendering the Ducks helmet, this type of thing would be the only thing to depict the Ducks helmet graphically really, excellent job! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TornadoGTS 318 Posted October 30, 2009 Why is the O crooked? Shouldnt it be straight across considering its a straight side view? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowld 2,146 Posted October 30, 2009 dont think so..look herehttp://www.sportslogos.net.com/~asgsport/images5/Oregon_hel.gif 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CDixonDesign 178 Posted October 30, 2009 It should have a slightly rotated appearance, but certainly not straight across, maybe not as much as bowld has rotated it, but it shouldn't be completely straight.... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TornadoGTS 318 Posted October 30, 2009 It should have a slightly rotated appearance, but certainly not straight across, maybe not as much as bowld has rotated it, but it shouldn't be completely straight....Well when you look at pics of the real thing you can see its pretty much straight, maybe not exactly, but pretty close. Regardless, it shouldnt of been rotated as much like you said. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidson 115 Posted October 30, 2009 yeah, but if you look, youll see the helmet is angled as if it were being worn. these are tilted back as they are flat on a surface.straight on:flat on a surface:if anything it should be smaller. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
