Movie Help (Blood and Bullets)

Who Cares · 08-07-2005, 02:10 PM

Hello, everyone. I'm new here and pretty new to 3-D animation in general. I'm about to begin filming a movie and I need a certain effect.

There will be one scene that has a character raising her gun and shooting a bullet. I really want the gun to shoot off a bullet in the Matrix style. You all of course know what I mean. The slow mo bullet with the breaking sound barrier behind it. I've never really done animation before, so I was hoping someone could help me with this.

In addition to that, I was wondering how to animate blood. Mainly I'll be using the blood after the bullet fires, lol.

Oh, and I'm using Maya for all of this.

Hi, I'm sorry what is shoot off a bullet in Matrix style?

About the blood, are u looking for splashing blood or dribbling blood animation?

A quick spash of blood to compliment the bullet. But I'm beginning to think it won't be necissary.

And when the character pulls the trigger of the gun, I want the bullet to come out in very slow motion with the broken, blurry energy thing trailing it as the bullet crosses the screen.

I did find a pre made bullet effect online (Link: http://www.geocities.com/tomerep/bullet.htm). I have two questions regarding it. When I play with the bullet in Maya, I can't resize or move it. When I do, the bullet just goes back to its original size and position when I play the animation. How can I make my changes stick?

So sorry if none of that made sense, lol.
