Here is a much better (and slightly longer) demonstration of my attempts to learn doing fire FX in 3ds Max. This would be the first time I really animated a character-thingy, and made said character a very pretty chrome! ;D
The roboty thing does an awkward head nod thing towards the end. My intention was that he was going to SLOWLY cock his head to one side for that "intently focused" look. But I didn't allow enough space between keyframes and BLAH.
Oh well...
My first attempt at "playing with fire" in 3ds Max. Quick little blue flame FX.
