RayFire Tutorial - 3dsMax

[@artifactproduction]

THANK YOU for being straightforward into the goal right from the beginning. No 15 mins of going through every single control.

[@Ruan3D]

Haha thanks!!

[@mrcryprod]

I have been searching for tutorials for Rayfire but i think this is the best because it's very short but clear and i can perfectly understand it. thanks! :D

[@ronydey2696]

Great tutorial sir these is really a much helpful hi myself Rony an VFX student from Arena Animation kolkata

[@quickpickle]

finally a simple quick excellent tutorial! Thanx man!

[@browntimmy]

Thanks. Great short and sweet introductory tutorial for a Rayfire beginner like me.

[@vit9233]

is this a right way to do destructions for cinematics, made inside game engine? First simulate it in max and then bake the animation and bring it into the engine...?

[@JeSsSe66]

Thankyou and great tutorial. I was having the trouble of the object shattering before it comes into contact with something else.

[@saleh_afkhami]

I created happy new solar year with this tuturial.thanks

[@slaction]

If you texture an object before applying Rayfire, will the individual objects keep the texture when they are broken apart? Thanks for the video!

[@Ruan3D]

Hi Mikeeanzo - unfortunately 3dsmax does not work on OSX, but you can use Maya / Cinema4D / Blender on the mac which are all very good 3d programs. Thanks for watching!!

[@izvarzone]

How about unwraping and texturing the fragments? 99% of videos I see are just white material, no textures. How easy or hard would it be to unwrap fragments?

[@JeSsSe66]

Do you think you can do a tutorial on how to do a final render with it?

[@graphicbender7755]

Hey Tunnelvizion. Thanks for making such an video. I learned something here but one thing I wanna ask that after previewing the animation my wall is cracked though I have stop or pause the animation and even though I do back the key to 0 frame. why this happening?

[@SkintSNIPER262]

When you look at the animation from a certain angle, is that the angle that will appear in the Video if you rendered it?

[@red-ball-express]

Very good tutorial for quick start. Thanks man!

[@Mikeanzo]

Is 3ds Max compatible with mac? If not, are there any other 3-D animation programs that you would recommend for 3-D projects like this one?

[@VFXLtd]

hey man, How come when i cchange the fragmentation type to lets say "splinters" max crashes every time? And can i change the iteration after ive fragmanted or do i have to reset the entire simulation? thanks

[@Gilloozz]

i got this problem that when the sphere hit the box it explode i dont know why its so annoying

[@DarkWoodProductions]

Hey I need help! I add the plane and the sphere to static and Kinematic objects but when I simulate the physics, the fragmented Item goes through the plane. Please help!

[@dylanwalkerphotography2812]

great tutorial, very easy to understand and straight to the point! Thanks!

[@sa_vfx]

[@Ruan3D]

+SA 3D Design thanks for the comment!

[@DigitalArmagedon]

[@3Dsmaxcb]

tells me runtime error. filestream cannot create c:/ program files/ autodesk/ 3ds max 2011/ rayfire license. txt

[@MaxBanKai1]

Hello when i click fragment nothing happens. Can you plz help me. I followed everything correctly

[@paranidherc]

any way to preview the fragmentation? Its really annoying to have to redo all the steps every time

[@Ruan3D]

Hi I think its possible yes - have you tried to refresh the cache? There should be a reset or something like that? Let me know if you don't find it then I will check for you?

[@DanasaVFX]

Question! Does Rayfire work with AMD Radeon?

[@KimSalimVFX]

why im getting unknown property type? when i preview? tnx

[@Honza111222333444]

"call needs function or class got undefined" appear when I click preview. why? please help me

[@JJLvfx]

Can you do a tut with sphere shattering too :c

[@KhaledAlmunla]

Very good tutorial thank you Now I don't have rayfire but I've been playing with MassFX and i like it too..not as simple as this one..but the only thing I think ray fire have in advantage (as i saw in this video) is the fragmentation...now is worth it to get rayfire or no?....and If i want to keep using MassFX is there anyway to break my object? a script?

[@Ruan3D]

Khaled Almunla Heya! Yeah you can try a script called "Fracture Voronoi" - Just google that and you will find it - and it's free!

[@KhaledAlmunla]

OK i will thanks a lot :)

[@TomCrowder13]

can objects be imported and shattered?

[@RoadFruitFilms]

Rayfire equivalent for Maya?

[@Ruan3D]

hmm Im not 100% sure about this as I have a Nvidia card... some forums say it should work with ATI but better to check on the RayFire website ;)

[@rohanexplore]

Simple and effective. Thank you

[@ClapsyPlapsy]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks so much!

[@MrBravo048]

It's somehow a really soothing tutorial with your Afrikaans accent. 'If it is'. :)

[@ruanlotter]

[@Sharmajicamerawale]

[@justinpedersen9174]

man are you South African :D

[@Ruan3D]

haha yes I am - where you from?

[@justinpedersen9174]

tunnelviziontv i'm from Cape Town :) taking art and design into Matric this year and next year i'm studying at the Animation School in woodstock :)

[@Ruan3D]

Justin Pedersen Ah that's awesome! I am also from Cape Town (Strand actually) - This is my side line hobby, hopefully I can do it fulltime one day haha -- So what do you specialize in? VFX? 3d?

[@justinpedersen9174]

tunnelviziontv I have played around with both VFX and 3d and at the point i enjoy both of them, but i am hoping to one day go into the CGI field. possibly live performance, don't know if you saw rockey horror? they have animations that run with the performance. Im head of my school's animation club and we did similar things for our plays and i really enjoyed that.

[@Ruan3D]

Justin Pedersen Yes I saw RH in Cape Town - really cool effect!! What software do you use to do that - of do you just project the video clips with a normal media player?

[@juaniemanful]

You sound South African
