A falling brick at midnight
A new After Effects piece, its both very new and quite old. I started working on this with my friend, Jasper who challenged me to make something floating, I have been messing around with that for ages, but now I have ended up with the opposite, a falling brick! It is techincally quite intricate, so I though I could perhaps sell a tutorial to aetuts, but it will still be free don’t worry. If they don’t want I’ll make it anyway just as a raggedclown.net special. Took some texture photographs for it today, that was quite fun and I think they added to the piece, which I made today, took me a good eight hours or so. Notice the sexy bump mapping curtsey of this tutorial. Footage to be added as soon as I am out of the vimeo cue..

Nice effect! What was the hardest part to get right? Oh, and I can’t seem to get your text-adventure working, it seems to be stuck in a Processing-startup loop or something. Is that possible or is OS X Java just fucked up.
The bit where it goes from air to water, where he is partially in the air and partially in the water, had to split the 3d object in above water piece and an underwater one. After Effects doesn’t really 3d that much so this kind 3d masking (where a bit of the top or bottom is hidden by layer) is quite fiddly. Yeah somebody else had that problem also, I think os x java doesn’t play very nice with processing for some reason, what a shame.. Must look in to that soon, I’ll send you an OS X application copy see if that works.
