Did you have a specific effect or look in mind? Or maybe anything more to add to your description so we may be able to better help you? I would hate to just guess and turn you down the wrong path:) We could do things very easily and simply key a PaintFX stroke, or go full-on with a more difficult actual dynamics situation. Take your time and let us know:) Welcome aboard! |
BTW im also interseted in this
im not sure about the best way but if you just sort of want a laser shot like in star wars just animate a cylinder and assign a glowing meterail to it |
Hi, thanks for the welcome, i was hoping to do a DragonballZ style effect beam like the kamehameha wave attack and able to animate it as well, thanks for all the replies :) - Reizion -

hehe... sorry.
Im cool, but apparently my age is showing, as I do not know what you mean by that. I gotta watch more Z, hehe.... Do you have maybe a link to a clip of the effect in action? Yutube, etc, whatever. ..or even a still image or two so I/we can use that as a reference? I ask because it sounds like you have a specific look in mind, and I would hate to tell you do use a technique that may not help you in the end:) Sweet:) Thanks! |
Thanks for the help, i found a suitable look for my energy wave on Youtube :)
