Paint FX

Client: Fox and Lion Digital
Objective: Integrate live action footage and VFX
Responsibilities: Creating particle paint FX
Software: 3ds Max, TyFlow, V-Ray, After Effects

Process: TyFlow was used to create a spray of paint coming from the paint gun. The emitter was hand animated to match the live action paint gun and the particles stick to an invisible surface, simulating paint on the camera lens. Some additional reflections and tweaks were added in post. Rendered in 3ds Max and V-Ray. Comped in After Effects.
