Thank you for the two excellent animations, one on the tracer bullets and the second on the spinning propeller. I have duplicated both of your tutorials and they both run very well, thank you again. Having come this far I then tried to merge them so that I would also have one aircraft with a spinning propeller with its guns firing as you did. This is where I come short, how did you do that part, fitting the two animations into one video?
@jbblenderbreakdown4668
@jbblenderbreakdown4668 3 жыл бұрын
I'm glad to hear that both tutorials worked! So when I made my animated film, I started by "rigging" the propeller for the airplane as seen in my first Blender tutorial, then after a lot of trial and error, I made the particle system to emit bullet tracers. The important thing to remember is that you have to do both these operations on the same airplane. You shouldn't run into any problems if you follow the steps, as the "rigged" propeller is its own element while the tracer particle system is a complete different one. If you need anymore help or have anymore questions, just ask!

Wow thanks! Hmm, I've honestly no idea. I guess if the tracers' physics are complex or maybe if there are a lot of them, baking would be ideal. However, I haven't actually baked the tracers at all yet. Great question though! I'll definitely keep that in mind! Thanks!

hey, loved the vid and it worked really well! but I was wondering if it's possible to make it fire at specific times so I can animate proper recoil?
@jbblenderbreakdown4668
@jbblenderbreakdown4668 2 жыл бұрын
I'm glad the video helped you! As for trace emitting timing, I don't think this method allows for exact timing/intervals of the bullets. However, I recommend changing the number of bullets being fired and the emitter power to get a certain fixed rate that you like. If somehow you could measure that rate, you should be able to assign the recoil animation to that firing rate. I hope this helps you!

Yes, if I remember correctly you can use keyframing for some of the particle controls to set when a gun begins firing.

Is there a way of making them more realistic? I mean the way it looks in for example ww2 dogfights, the tracers almost look like if they bend in waves a bit, this kind of illusion. Would it be possible to show on a tutorial?
@jbblenderbreakdown4668
@jbblenderbreakdown4668 3 жыл бұрын
Hmm, I'm pretty sure that with motion blur on and the camera moving and shaking as it normally would in an action sequence, it would seem like the tracers were distorted and bent in waves. While I was making my animated movie, "The Altercation", I learned about this trick and that's why at the end you can see the technique being used. But yeah feel free to experiment with the camera movement, as the tracers themselves are pretty accurate when it comes to how it was in ww2. Although the sample video in the beginning doesn't really illustrate the technique of camera movement, keeping the camera constantly moving and having it shake while the guns are firing should do the trick because of motion blur. Let me know if you need anything else!

I'm afraid not. I created this model a while back for an animated movie. I didn't really know what I was doing so I made several mistakes. I made it by trial and error and watching a few tutorials. Most of it was made by using reference images and attempting to duplicate what I saw. I did this by going into edit mode and extruding the object in the same shape as the reference image. I hope this helps a little.

@jbblenderbreakdown4668
@jbblenderbreakdown4668 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah. This is a common problem I encountered when making my animated movie. So I tried to avoid this problem as much as I could by keeping the plane relatively stationary and using basic camera tricks to make it appear that it's moving forward. However, for certain animations I had to put a wind force field behind the tracer emitter to speed up the bullets. Hope this helps!
