Hi all, I dug up a really old project I did for a class and did some work on it. As you may guess from the title, this animation has something to do with my avatar, but I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise...

Oh wow, thanks! I have been trying to organize my work and trying to understand what to keep and what to lose. Would you say this could be part of a reel?

I would say that having a special effects in the real would be good to show diversity

Hi guys, I have finally managed to put together a reference/tutorial for the fireball. It takes advantage of this scene to explain something about MR shaders, including their parameters and what difference they make. I apologize for making it lengthy, but I want to keep it for my future reference,
that's why it is so detailed. I hope you find it useful. If you find errors or you have anything to add to it, please let me know.

Nice work Silvia, I don't think you were too wordy, I hate tutorials where they assume you already know how to do things and you spend your time re-reading the previous paragraph, because you think you must have missed something! LOL Nice work! Perhaps you would be interested in letting us put it up in our tutorial section on the main site? If so let me know, it would have to be after something big we are working on right now was done, but we would of course give you all credit and link to your site

Wow, of course you can do what you want with it!
So what's the big thing you are working on right now???? Curious curious...

Hint: You were envolved in the last one

Looks really neat, although I'd have to ask: Is it what you were going for? I like all the detail but it have a very liquid feel. I'd almost want to ask you to put a green hue instead of red, orange, and yellow. then it would look like liquid gamma radation. Also double the geometry and offset the scale and rotation. Just a few suggestion for you to bounce around. Good work though keep it up.
