This Quicktime movie show a flames particle animation test. The rocket
is a very generic model created in a few minutes.
The environment was created from a single still photograph. This was worked through from a DV Garage tutorial on Camera Mapping. The image was separated into multiple layers and mapped to simple 3D geometry. A camera was pushed through the 3D scene to create a cityscape. For more information about camera mapping, see DV Garage.
The
rocket's trajectory was adjusted, rendered, with an alpha channel map.
The two sequences were composited in Shake for the final shot.
