Toys - Visuals - Video & Computer Programs

[Silence_Inc]

Are there poeple here that are into making visuals or other stuff, like working on photoshop?

I work with Partical Illusion, After Effects and Adobe - editing programs - but i'm looking for cool visual programs that i can use to mix it with video images. Or fractal programs that allow you to make .avi or other video-compatible files.

i'm planning to make some sort of fractal of faces en forms - but i wanted to use more than just video. the camera needs to fly through it and keep ending up in a diffrent realm. so i look for programs that produce moving images.

any thoughts?

btw - Alfa, your avatar - did you make it yourself?

I am a Graphic Designer myself, with some personal expirience with 'motion' work as you describe it. I know various fractal programs that make animations, even some plugins for AE, you can find them by ticking them into a bittorrent search engine or AE website. Although 'producing moving images' is easy, making them convincing is another, so I'd open a book on 3d studio's and using them and Combustion to make some good, seamless and professional looking work. Otherwise I'd just be visually or aesthetically refined but flat on any level of meaning or depth.

yeah, seamless is the word ... i'm not very familiar with 3d stuff ... and don't have the time to start learning a new program right now. You have any names for those plug ins or fractal programs - i'll start looking but a finger pointing would help ... so what stuff do you mkae? still in shcool or working?

i'm breeding on an idea: gonnaz make a 20 second video transformation thjing - than cut it up into all it's frames ... put these frames in a 3d space - than keying a certain color so we can see through al of the layers ... and then fly through the 1000's of layers - and so producing the same image - only - like you said - with depth ...
