hey hey guys,

I am just trying to do a star trek “ teleporter “ where a object dissapears then re appears in a cylinrical beam of light and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to achieve this. with fluids ? or particles ? or some other way that i havent thought of..

thanks guys

I think it would be much faster/easier to do in a compositing package.
Is it a locked camera or does it actually need to be a 3d effect?

yeah i suppose i could do it in AE. the effect i was after is the klingon type of teleporter. it looks like the person/ object is being “showered” almost as if its liquid which is why i thought particles would be the way to go.

thanks guys i will test a few ways to go.

not sure if anyone has seen “Barbarella” but theres a really cool effect when shes in the “dream” room it looks like someone pouring coloured paint onto a sheet of glass with the camera underneath i really want to try to replicate that in maya aswell…
