Hello All,
Since Terminator 4 is all around us so I thought of doing something similar but not same.. This big gun is 5 minutes modelling in Max. but modelling is not our focus in this tut. Our focus will be learning Particle Flow in Max... Bullets being fired from this gun and they will chase the flying targets until they execute the targets with an explosion. The rest of the background is a quicky in After Effects. Our focus will be Particle flow in 3ds Max. Still working on it and also busy with some other stuff lets see when it will be live! fingers crossed :-)
Will upload the video of this soon...
