This is a revisit of a demo I created for SigGraph 2012 that highlights the new Autodesk Smoke 2013 software with emphasis to 3D production pipelines. Since there was so much content generated, this will be part one of a mult-part series on the subject.
Behind the Scenes SigGraph Prep - Autodesk 3ds Max and Smoke 2013. This is a quick video to show some of the prep work for my presentation at SigGraph 2012. The specific focus is in establishing the spatial relationship between 3ds Max's units and Smoke's 3D compositing environment, Action. I also show some tips on how to bring rendered assets that are numbered image sequences with alpha channels into Smoke using the MediaHub, as well as some options for Matte Container workflows. This is not the "sexy stuff" of a SigGraph demo, but its important for users looking to have a successful interop between 3ds Max and Smoke.
This is a rebroadcast of an M and E webinar where I demonstrated how Autodesk Smoke 2012 can work in tandem with a 3D CGI pipeline for creative finishing. UPDATE NOTE - this video was recorded with Autodesk Smoke 2012. Users can now download a trial version of the newer 2013 release here. http://usa.autodesk.com/smoke-for-mac/ This includes significant changes to the User Interface, but no features shown in this video above have been removed from the application. //garyD
